Kylie Jenner, 28, made a notable style adjustment after the Oscars by attending the Vanity Fair after-party in a sophisticated black gown by Alexander McQueen. This gown, which featured a daring thigh-high slit and feathered detailing, marked a shift from her previous appearance at the Oscars where she donned a striking red glitter dress by Schiaparelli. This choice highlighted her fashion versatility as she transitioned from a bold look to something more understated for the follow-up event.

According to an interview Jenner gave to Harper’s Bazaar in May 2025, her motivation for wearing black dresses at her partner's events stems from her desire not to steal the spotlight from him, especially on an evening dedicated to his achievements. She described black dresses as a reliable choice that tends to be less attention-grabbing in a positive way, allowing her partner to shine. This sentiment resonates with many individuals in the public eye who navigate their identities alongside those of their significant others in high-profile settings.

Timothée Chalamet, Jenner's partner, arrived at the after-party in a striking white ensemble designed by Givenchy. This contrast between their outfits further emphasized Jenner's intention of supporting Chalamet during a pivotal moment for him in the entertainment industry, while also showcasing her work with formality and elegance in the fashion world. The couple’s coordinated yet distinct style choices continue to attract media attention, reflecting their status as a prominent and fashionable duo.
