Kendall Jenner illuminated the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in a breathtaking, shimmering, bronze, halter neck gown. The supermodel, 27, glowed in the scalloped and rose appliqué-adorned piece from Jean Paul Gaultier’s 2008 Spring/Summer Haute Couture collection.

If the dress design looks familiar, actress Marion Cotillard wore a cream colorway version to the Academy Awards in 2008 when she won Best Actress for her performance as Édith Piaf in La Vie en Rose. Could Jenner have chosen a more stunning piece to pay tribute to fashion and Hollywood history?

Jenner’s low-cut number also featured a sultry, curve-hugging, mermaid silhouette. To complete her ensemble, the reality star went minimal when it came to jewelry and accessories with solely shiny stud earrings, and instead let the gown seize the spotlight. This differed from Cotillard’s get-up, which included layered beaded necklaces and a white clutch.

The 818 Tequila mogul wore her long brunette tresses in a timeless updo, with loose strands elegantly framing her face. As for her makeup look, Jenner went for smokey eyeshadow, winged black liner, voluminous lashes, rosy contour and a 90s-esque light brown lipstick hue.
