London Fashion Week might have just kicked off but there are already lots of surprises in the front row (Katy Perry!) and on the street. Earlier tonight, en route to the Love magazine and Burberry party, the evening’s other cohost, Kendall Jenner, shimmied in wearing what is quickly becoming the runway star’s signature palette, a bold metallic. But instead of the puffer or shearling styles in gold, Jenner amped up the sensuality in A.L.C.’s velvet robe-silhouette wrap coat dress.
Jenner has been toying around with boyish separates lately, including fringed jackets, modern spins on classic Americana dressing, and even track pants, but she unleashed her girly side earlier tonight. The mini-frock took its cues from disco-era dressing with a louche self-tie belt. Gold hoop earrings and a medallion necklace ratcheted up the ’90s throwback vibes while over-the-knee boots grounded the look with dance-floor-friendly soles.
