Kendall Jenner Brings Y2K Nostalgia to the Slopes
Kim Kardashian isn’t the only one channeling Y2K icons in Aspen. It seems Kendall Jenner’s latest going out look payed homage to one of the most memorable red carpet dresses of all time.
On January 20, the 28-year-old model shared multiple OOTD photos and video from her recent Colorado vacation, featuring what may be the plungiest plunge dress to ever plunge dress—you know, aside from Jennifer Lopez’s iconic Versace moment from the 2000 Grammy Awards.
Then again, the fashion world’s obsession with the early aughts has yet to loose steam, so the reference tracks. Kendall Jenner, the supermodel and reality TV scion, took a brief respite from the California sunshine to head to the snow-capped mountains, and she brought some serious early-aughts style with her.
On Saturday, Jenner took to Instagram to give her followers a peek at the slinky LBD she chose for a night out on the town with sisters Kim and Khloé Kardashian and mother Kris Jenner. The form-fitting silk gown featured a plunging neckline that dipped daringly below the model’s belly button, showing off her envy-inducing torso. Jenner’s photos and video clips offered up her glamorous beauty look as well, including a smoky eye, nude lip, and gold hoops peeking out from underneath long, espresso-hued locks.
The sexy black dress was just one of many nostalgic looks for Jenner on this winter getaway. Earlier on in the trip, she embraced the current revival of Juicy Couture tracksuits that has many a millennial feeling like it’s 2004 again. The velour zip-up uniform became the it look of the early aughts thanks to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, but now it’s back to dominate slopes as well as streets. Jenner gave the look her own modern twist, pairing the baby blue jacket and pants with a white cropped tank, Louis Vuitton snow boots, and tiny sunglasses perched high on her nose.
Of course, Jenner knows a thing or two about enriching trends from days gone by. Her status as both a runway regular and an influencer with massive social media reach enables the model to anticipate — and shape — what’s on the fashion horizon. If her recent penchant for visible thong straps, bedazzled handbags, and belly chains says anything, it seems Y2K is here to stay awhile longer. So whether you’re hitting the slopes or the city streets, take a page from Kendall Jenner’s book and pull out your favorite pieces from the early 2000s. Playful nostalgia never goes out of style.
