Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner stepped out in style on Monday evening in New York City to attend a Met Gala afterparty together — and there was no missing Jenner’s archive-inspired look.
The supermodel went sans pants to attend the 2023 Met Gala in a black sequined Marc Jacobs confection before adding even more edge to her afterparty ensemble. Jenner wore a black high-cut thong on top of a completely sheer heather-silver hued metallic sequined bodysuit, complete with a black harness and pearl straps.
The party-ready look was created by London-based Albanian designer Nensi Dojaka, who recreated an enssemble from the Chanel Spring/Summer 1994 collection, originally worn by model Nadja Auermann on the runway. Dojaka took to her Instagram Stories to write, “Our tribute recreation of one of Karl’s iconic looks.”
The 2023 Met Gala paid homage to the late, great designer and creative director of Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld. The dress code was “in honor of Karl.”
Jenner kept her brunette strands up in a high ponytail with a middle-part and accessorized with diamond stud earrings, a silver clutch and black strappy high-heeled sandals with her man by her side.
The two have been rumored to be dating since February, but didn’t make their red carpet couple debut quite yet. At the Gala, they both walked the red carpet separately, but the musician was seen arriving to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the same car as Kendall and her sisters Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian.
Jenner was later photographed with the musician headed to the ApresMET afterparty, hosted by Carlos Nazario, Emily Ratajkowski, Paloma Elsesser, Raul Lopez, Renell Medrano and WSA
Bad Bunny opted for a white rib-knit tee underneath a light brown suede jacket, teamed with darker brown trousers topped off with a silver buckled belt.
The rapper wore caramel-colored suede cowboy boots, and completed his look with dark narrow sunglasses. He also layered dazzling necklaces, including two cross pendants.
Hardly the first time Jenner has embraced the underwear as outerwear trend or the sheer trend, the model hit the Met Gala afterparty circuit last year wearing a see-though Miu Miu black lace cami and mid-length skirt set over a silk rose-gold bra and matching briefs.
Kendall last dated NBA player Devin Booker. The pair dated on and off for over two years, before finally ending their relationship for good in October 2022. News of Jenner and Bad Bunny’s alleged relationship seemingly surprised more than the general public. When the pair began to make headlines, Booker quietly unfollowed her on Instagram.
Bad Bunny immortalized their fling in a new song while simultaneously shading Jenner’s ex-boyfriend, Booker. In a recent feature on Eladio Carrión’s track “Coco Chanel,” Bad Bunny raps, “Yo no soy malo, nah, bebé, eso e’ un gimmick / Pero el sol de PR calienta má’ que el de Phoenix / Ella lo sabe.”
According to E! News, this translates to, “I’m not bad, baby that’s a gimmick / But the sun in Puerto Rico is hotter than in Phoenix / She knows it.” This is seemingly in reference to Booker playing NBA for the Phoenix Suns team.
He then goes on to say “las de escorpio son peligro,” which translates to, “Scorpio women are dangerous.” The model’s horoscope is, of course, Scorpio.
According to People, a source claimed the pair are “spending time together.”
“Kendall recently started hanging out with him,” a separate source told the outlet. “They were introduced by friends. He moved to L.A. a few weeks ago and bought a house. She likes him and is having fun. He is different from guys that she dated in the past. He is very charming.”
Since then, the model and the Grammy-winner were photographed sharing a hug and an affectionate kiss in a parking lot, caught leaving Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Oscar party together, and spotted on a horseback ride together at the Hidden Hills Equestrian Center in images obtained by TMZ.
The couple all but confirmed their romance during 2023 Coachella, where Bad Bunny headlined. Jenner was filmed enjoying the rapper’s gig by fans at Coachella. In a short clip posted to TikTok, the 27-year-old can be seen coyly standing amidst the mosh before subtly breaking into a little dance as the performance continues.
