Kylie Jenner is tapping into peak ’90s nostalgia, and fans can’t get enough.

The beauty mogul and reality TV star turned heads once again in a sultry new campaign for her fashion brand, Khy, this time drawing clear inspiration from none other than "Baywatch" icon Pamela Anderson.

With her makeup kept minimal and soft, featuring a natural lip and glossy eyelids, Kylie Jenner's look serves as a subtle nod to Anderson’s recent makeup-free appearances and stripped-back style.

In the teaser video shared on social media, the 27-year-old billionaire stuns in a form-fitting red halter dress while donning a voluminous blonde updo reminiscent of Anderson’s signature hairstyle from her '90s heyday.

Set in a moody hotel room, the video captures Jenner playing the part of a glamorous but disenchanted bombshell. She sits silently at a table before nonchalantly pushing a glass of wine off the edge, letting it shatter dramatically on the floor.

The moment feels equal parts retro and rebellious.

Kylie Jenner’s Fashion Line Khy Faces Backlash

While Khy has been pretty successful overall, it hasn't come without some bumps in the road.

Earlier this year, the brand was under fire as online critics accused the label of prioritizing profit over practicality, branding it a "money grab fast fashion retailer" in heated discussions across Reddit and social media platforms.

While her sisters Kim and Khloé Kardashian have found massive success with SKIMS and Good American, respectively, Kylie’s Khy, which launched on November 1, 2023, has struggled to strike the same chord with consumers. Despite an impressive $1 million in sales during its first hour, many shoppers are now voicing concerns that the brand lacks accessibility and affordability.

"Is the brand actually doing well? Is the buzz there? Is it a money grab? Have you brought something from Khy? Has she kinda lost her impact?" one Reddit user asked.

"Where does one wear this to? They're sequin volleyball shorts," another asked, to which a third jokingly replied, "Grocery store. Perfect for when you need to get some eggs."

Kylie Jenner Raves About Khy x Poster Girl
