Kris Jenner stole the spotlight this past weekend when she wore the same avant-garde gown that her daughter Kim Kardashian once wore. Jenner wore the gown for the wedding celebrations of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy. The purple Dolce & Gabbana train dress was known for its puffy sleeves and trailed the ground with a high slit that exposed Kris' sexy legs. Kim was the first to wear the gown for the brand's Alta Moda event in 2023.
Kris didn't simply borrow the gown - she copied the entire look with the diamond necklace and diamond drop earrings. Kim's look and Kris' look were nearly identical. The other Kardashian family members caught on too! Kris said in an Instagram post that she was "called out in the group chat" and was copying Kim. However, she did say Kim was her "style inspiration".
It was a quirky and fashionable contribution to a weekend of celebrity appearances and premium luxury. Once again, the Kardashian-Jenner family highlighted both their family and their fashion, whether on a carpet, or at their own events.
Kris Jenner's dress quickly got lots of online attention, and many fans and fashion commentators shared lots of opinions on the look. Most of the reactions were quite positive, regarding the fact that she had worn not just an iconic and unforgettable dress - a gown so shared with her daughter. Some simply viewed it as a nice reminder that we could see their connection as a close family, and wearing the same outfit is simply an extension of that closeness.
The Kardashian-Jenners have long recycled legendary ensembles -- whether that is clothing each other or reviving past fashion cycles. Kris's look was not only a reference to Kim, but also a more significant statement about celebrity fashion: wearing used or vintage pieces instead of new or cute but with no reference to the past.
The wedding itself had many famous guests, all of whom had some connection to the Kardashian First Family. Kim, for one, wore a sparkly gown by Versace for one of the weekend's other events. Though different from the Dolce & Gabbana moment of recent months, it still represented the luxury and glamour fans have come to expect from the family.
The conversation surrounding Kris's decision to rewear the dress opened up many dialogues on social media platforms, mostly because of the boldness of the outfit and also because of the chat that was brought up between the Kardashian family group text. While many celebrities rely on constant reinvention, the display by Jenner illustrated that there are not-so-iconic pieces, that can even be revived - and of course you can add fun, family-to-pack more magic in it!
