Kendall Jenner stepped out in Paris this week in an outfit that would make Audrey Hepburn proud. The model was spotted in a scoop-neck, short-sleeve black ankle-length maxi dress from The Row‘sSpring/Summer 2023 collection, and teamed her ensemble with accessories that took her look to another level of Parisian-glam.
She chose pointy-toe pumps with a kitten heel and wrapped a black scarf around her head, which looped around her neck and retro black sunglasses. The reality star let her brown hair hang to the side under her scarf.
Jenner shared the look on Instagram, featuring selfies and snaps of the model lounging on a gilded sofa in an immaculately decorated suite. She fittingly captioned the post with an emoji of a croissant, “🥐.”
The nostalgic and sophisticated outfit looks straight out of a movie and mixes sartorial elements from Audrey Hepburn’s legendary roles in 1957’s Funny Face and 1961’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
In both films, famed designer Hubert de Givenchy collaborated closely with acclaimed costume designer Edith Head for the wardrobe, creating one of the most famous classic black dresses in film history. On-screen Hepburn also wore plenty of scarves, large hats and cat-eye sunglasses, just like Jenner emulated.
Jenner referenced yet another pivotal moment in fashion history recently at the 2023 Oscars afterparty. The model dipped into the Jean Paul Gaultier archives with her gold mermaid fish scale gown from the French fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2008 Haute Couture collection. The first person to wear an iteration of the dress back in 2008 was French actress Marion Cotillard, who wore an ivory version of the exact same dress when she won Best Actress at the Oscars for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose.
