Kylie Jenner just showed fashion fans how simple it is to add a little unexpected edge to a season-friendly holiday ensemble.

Styling & glam

The 28-year-old reality TV star and brand mogul took to both TikTok and Instagram over the weekend to teach her millions of followers precisely how it’s done. For the laidback look, Jenner combined a few closet staples into a stylish outfit for the Chrome Hearts Holiday Party. And thanks to the fabric, the look provided a little edgy twist to an otherwise traditional holiday moment.

For her night out in Los Angeles, Jenner channeled Y2K vibes with a pair of low-rise, dark-wash, bootcut denim jeans. From there, she styled a cropped leather top in a holiday-friendly cherry-red shade. The eye-catching item was the centerpiece of the ensemble, providing some extra edge courtesy of the hardware on the zipper—which only zipped halfway for a sultry low-cut silhouette—and the vertical stitching, hugging her torso for a marvelously molded moment.

The brand mogul kept the accessories to a minimum, opting for a few silver rings, a black handbag and a matching pair of open-toe heels. She parted her shiny, layered hair down the middle, and her makeup was a classic Jenner glam featuring matte skin, neutral eyeshadows and a pop of pink on the cheeks.

Fans & famous friends feel the holiday cheer

Still, we weren’t the only ones admiring Jenner’s sleek and stylish take on traditional holiday party fashion, with several of her followers and famous friends taking to the comment sections on both Instagram and TikTok to applaud her choices:

“❤️❤️❤️,” sister Khloe Kardashian wrote on Instagram.

“You look absolutely stunning 🔥🔥🔥,” Markell Washington added.

“So pretty ❤️,” Heather Sanders penned.

“King Kylie is back? 😍,” one commenter concluded.

The return of “King Kylie”

And that commenter wasn’t incorrect, as 2025 also saw the return of Jenner’s “King Kylie” persona via her popular cosmetics line.

Back in October, the Kylie Cosmetics founder dropped a very special collection, which brought back several fan-favorite items from the beauty line’s original launch nearly a decade ago. And alongside these throwback items came several nostalgic looks from Jenner, specifically referencing her “King Kylie” days on Snapchat in the mid-2010s (think trends like her teal ombré hair and her wildly popular lip kits).
