Kendall Jenner garnered mixed feedback with her unusual fashion choice for last night’s Met Gala. The supermodel, 30, joined the celebrity crowd for the annual fashion event held in New York City, showing off a body-hugging gown made from a white GAP t-shirt. Mixing high-end fashion with affordable, Kendall wowed in a white, ruched, fishtail look, upping the ante with her flesh-colored bra on show while wearing fake nipples. The Hulu star quickly attracted joking remarks that she was going to make the SKIMS Nipple Bra sell out, and some found the finish distasteful. One user even called the California-born star “cheap.” Ahead, see the photos, plus the fan response.
Kendall Jenner Stuns In Revealing Met Gala Dress
Scroll for the photos. Highlighting her toned shoulders and arms while drawing the eye to her chest and tiny waist, Kendall wowed in a strapless, bandeau bra with a shapewear feel.
Affording a dress-fell-down feel as she went deconstructed in her white dress, the 818 tequila founder chose Zac Posen for GapStudio for her look, rocking a skintight bodice and small cap sleeves, plus a slight asymmetric finish below the waist.

Concealing her mile-long legs, but showing off her Amazonian frame, Kendall sported her dark hair swept into an elegant bun with a few loose strands, also sporting an impeccable face of matte makeup.
“We began with something very simple, a white Gap t-shirt, and started to manipulate it, pulling and draping to echo the movement you see in carved parian marble,” designer Zac told Cosmopolitan. He added, “The t-shirt is a wardrobe essential; it moves with the body, and that felt aligned with the spirit of the theme. From there, it became very tactile—jersey, molded leather, draping—to create something fluid, sculptural, and alive.” Kendall had honored this year’s “Costume Art” theme, plus the 2026 Met Gala’s dress code of “Fashion is Art.” She attended the event alongside 45-year-old sister Kim Kardashian, plus 28-year-old sibling Kylie Jenner.
Told Dress Looks ‘Cheap’
Users on social networking site Reddit didn’t take long to share their thoughts on Kendall Jenner’s fashion choice. Noting that sister Kylie had also gone for the fake nipples look, one user said: “Matching nipples outfits.” Here, another suggested that both siblings were supporting SKIMS.
“I kinda like it,” another wrote, but a fan here replied: “I love it except for the bra. It looks cheap and unfinished.” Meanwhile, over 30 users agreed with a comment reading: “I see the potential, but the ill-fitting bra is just too distracting. It just looks so uncomfortable.”
Bikini Body Beneath The Dress
This year’s Met Gala was co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour. The red carpet, meanwhile, welcomed stars including singer Rihanna, artist Bad Bunny, supermodel Gigi Hadid, and actress Zendaya.
Kendall may make headlines for her red carpet looks, but she’s just as popular with her swimsuit snaps on Instagram. This riverside photo showed her stunning in a teeny bikini, sunhat, and shades as she posed by a river.
