Over the course of 10 Met Galas, Kendall Jenner has shape-shifted before our very eyes. The chameleonic Vogue cover star has proven that she is always down to try out new looks, from her daring La Perla sheer moment in 2017 to her butt-length hair at the 2024 Met.
Whether she’s leaning into Vegas showgirl camp with Versace, goth glam with Prada, or quiet elegance with Raf Simons’s Calvin Klein, the show-stopping factor of Jenner’s outfits have steadily been turning up. When it comes to the Met Gala, Jenner seems to stick pretty closely to her typical style codes: simple but effective elegance. Many of her gowns have been crafted in timeless shades, such as beige, white, and black.
In 2021, she teamed up with Matthew M. Williams of Givenchy for a nod to Audrey Hepburn (a noted fan of the French house). That year, the star wore a semi-sheer, embellished gown featuring countless gems, inspired by Hepburn’s character in My Fair Lady. And of course there was that one year she opted for her sister act with Kylie, both wearing feathered ensembles by Versace—Kendall’s in a shocking shade of orange.
A particularly poignant look from Jenner’s Met Gala canon was in 2019, when she attended the gala in an Off White jumpsuit and accompanied the label’s founder, the late Virgil Abloh. “We worked together really heavily on creating this look for me, most of our conversations were over FaceTime,” Jenner said while revisiting the outfit for Vogue’s “Life in Looks.” “You always felt comfortable and safe in his arms.”
Over the past three years, Jenner has played with black. In 2022, she rocked a voluminous two-piece Prada set, while in 2023, she wore a cheeky Marc Jacobs bodysuit—complete with the designer’s iconic Kiki boots. For the 2024 Met, she delivered perhaps her biggest showstopper yet: a never-worn archival Givenchy dress from Alexander McQueen’s fall 1999 couture collection. “I made a dream list of who I would ideally want to go with, and I would have died to wear something by Alexander McQueen,” Jenner told Vogue of the look.
We are keen to see what the model has up her sleeve for the 2025 Met Gala, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” But, in the meantime, check out Kendall Jenner’s Met Gala looks over the last 10 years.
