Kylie Jenner is making a strong case for polka dots this season. The 27-year-old took to Instagram to flaunt a perfectly coordinated beachside look that felt both retro and refreshingly modern.

The fashion and beauty mogul stunned in a black-and-white triangle bikini paired with matching low-rise capri pants and a structured tote bag, all featuring a playful monochrome polka dot print.

The set hails from Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2000 collection, an iconic archival look first worn by Gisele Bündchen on the runway.

With her signature soft waves, feathered brows and sun-kissed glow, the Sprinter and Kylie Cosmetics founder once again proved her unmatched ability to revive a vintage look and make it feel entirely of the moment.

“a polka dot summer,” the reality TV star captioned the carousel. View the post here.

The polka dot, which traces its popularity back to the 19th century, has long been associated with femininity and flair. From 1950s pin-up icons to Princess Diana’s regal renditions, the print has remained a fashion staple. In recent years, polka dots have made a major comeback—reimagined in contemporary silhouettes and cool-girl styling.

It’s not the first time the entrepreneur has hinted at a summer of dots. She’s been quietly teasing pieces from her upcoming KHY x Frankies Bikinis collaboration, and eagle-eyed fans have already spotted polka-dotted swimwear among the previews. KHY, Jenner’s fashion brand launched in late 2023, has quickly become known for its rotating roster of buzzy partners. Each drop is designed alongside emerging creatives, allowing Jenner to spotlight fresh talent while offering up limited-edition capsules that reflect her evolving style.

From sleek elevated basics to sexy latex partywear and now trending swimwear, KHY has redefined what it means to be a celebrity-led label. “I want to see who’s doing cool things and specializes in a specific look,” Jenner previously said of her approach to selecting design partners. “Then I think about creating pieces that would be interesting to the KHY audience, but staying true to the designer throughout the whole process.”

The mom of two—who shares her children, Stormi and Aire, with ex-boyfriend and rapper Travis Scott—is currently vacationing in St. Tropez with her sisters. Even her boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet, made an appearance, briefly crashing the Kardashian-Jenner getaway. Each new outfit has been a masterclass in summer styling. On another day, she turned heads in a futuristic white one-piece from Isabel Marant, featuring sleek side cutouts and a midriff-covering panel.

She paired the suit with black Otra sunglasses, a minimal, sporty touch that grounded the bold silhouette. The frames are part of an upcoming collaboration between Jenner and the Grandquist Sisters and she’s been spotted styling multiple pairs from the line throughout the summer. From casual travel looks to chic wedding guest ensembles, the versatile eyewear has quickly become a staple in her vacation wardrobe.
