Kylie Jenner’s Bridal Met Gala Look Honors the Late Virgil Abloh

Are those wedding bells we hear? Maybe not, but Kylie Jenner did bring a pristine white bridal look to the 2022 Met Gala this evening. Though the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan was in attendance—including Kim Kardashian in a vintage dress worn by Marilyn Monroe—Kylie managed to hold her own this evening by wearing a contemporary twist on a wedding gown designed by Off-White’s founder, the late Virgil Abloh. 

 Jenner’s bridal ensemble included a full, tiered tulle skirt and a mesh T-shirt with the branded “Off” logo at the bust. Instead of a traditional wedding veil, Jenner wore a backwards baseball cap, which was adorned with a mini veil and floral appliqué work. A similar style closed the fall 2022 show, which was designed by Abloh before he died in November of 2021 at the age of 41. 

 If you’re wondering how Jenner’s bride-to-be look tied into the red carpet’s gilded glamour dress code, it seems the star chose to honor the Met’s exhibition inside, which explores American fashion. Abloh, a true trailblazer, was known to subvert many looks with his cheeky logos and streetwear slant. By wearing a wedding gown to the Met—and making it youthful, graphic, and wholly unexpected—Jenner channeled the irreverent spirit that Abloh perfected throughout his career. It was a classy tribute to one of the greatest American talents in fashion.
