Kendall Jenner Revives the Peplum Trend in Vintage Mugler
The ever-controversial peplum silhouette has been making a stealth comeback on recent red carpets. Florence Pugh led the charge in a pink sequined Rodarte gown at the Governors Awards, soon followed by Allison Williams and Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s peplum looks at the Golden Globes. Now, Kendall Jenner has emerged as the latest muse to revive the polarizing trend—and she’s making a strong case for its revival.
The supermodel stunned in Paris last Friday, stepping out in a vintage red peplum dress from the iconic French fashion house Mugler. The long-sleeved ensemble, a sophisticated yet sultry choice, featured miniature button detailing that artfully highlighted Jenner’s tiny waist and hourglass silhouette. She completed her look with dark rectangular sunglasses and black court heels.
As she made her way through the City of Light, the 28-year-old oozed Old Hollywood glamour. She accessorized the statement dress with silver earrings and a petite black bag, while opaque rectangular sunglasses and black court heels added a touch of modern edge.
The Parisian excursion was a homecoming of sorts for the entrepreneur, who was in town to promote her award-winning, hand-crafted tequila brand, 818. Jenner shared a glimpse of the visit on Instagram, posing with the brand’s signature 8-shaped bottle—a luxurious pour that retails for a cool $240.
The outing came on the heels of Jenner filming a new campaign for L’Oréal at the picturesque Vendôme Park. Undeterred by the Parisian chill, the star was all smiles as she shot scenes alongside a vintage red car on a bustling city street.
Jenner’s effortless embodiment of French glamour was a testament to her rapport with the fashion capital. But the trip also carried personal significance, marking her first public appearance since reconciliation rumors with her ex, NBA star Devin Booker, began swirling.
Sources report that while the pair aren’t officially back together, they’ve been spending significant time reconnecting in the wake of Jenner’s brief romance with rapper Bad Bunny. “He’s happy to have a shot with Kendall again because he really missed her,” an insider revealed to Us Weekly. The source added that Jenner’s inner circle had long hoped for a Booker reunion, having “never seen her dating Bad Bunny long-term.”
As the enviable It Girl continues her Parisian reverie, all eyes are on whether her rekindled flame with Booker will reignite into a full-fledged romance. But one thing is certain: with her impeccable style on display, Kendall is single-handedly reviving the peplum—and we’re fully on board.
