Fact-checking Kendall Jenner’s Met Gala Dress Claim
On last night’s Met Gala red carpet, Kendall Jenner wore an archival 1999 Givenchy dress
“It showed on a mannequin,” Jenner said.
It just feels meant to be.” Several outlets picked up the news and went so far as to call Jenner a history breaker.
But I’d like to invoke a 2019 proverb from Dakota Johnson to best represent what high-fashion Twitter thought of the look:
While Jenner did look very good in this archival pull, hard-core fashion stans clocked what they thought was some sort of miscommunication on the assembly line getting the model dressed for the event.
Perfect magazine then entered the chat with a post featuring Ryder and what looks to be the same garment
But a source close to the brand told the Cut that the dress Ryder wore was a replica and that the McQueen dress on Jenner was, in fact, never worn.
At the end of the day: shrug. It seems we simply have another case of mistaken identity on our hands.
