In case you missed it: The dress worn by Kylie Jenner at the Met Gala, designed to sculpt her waist, required 11,000 hours to create.

      The Kardashian-Jenner women are well-acquainted with the Met Gala, having attended since 2013 when Kim Kardashian made her first appearance. Subsequently, Kendall Jenner attended in 2014, Kris Jenner in 2015, Kylie Jenner in 2016, and both Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian in 2022. Regardless of the year, they consistently bring stylish fashion to the event and tend to arrive fashionably late to the Met steps. The 2026 Met Gala is no exception; as the red carpet begins to wind down, the Kardashian-Jenner family has just made their entrance, sparking plenty of conversations, starting with Kylie's outfit.

      For fashion's most notable evening, Kylie opted for a custom Schiaparelli "dropped ball gown" designed by Daniel Roseberry. This piece showcases a "rigid bustier in brown corset toile adorned with a sfumato effect, and a voluminous skirt featuring over 2,000 satin stitching balls, 10,000 natural baroque pearls, and more than 7,000 painted pearlescent fish scales," according to a press release from the brand. To enhance her look, Kylie selected an antique silver necklace embellished with rhinestones, pearls, and delicately sculpted bird heads, along with matching chandelier earrings.

      Jenner's gown is a genuine masterpiece, perfectly reflecting the Fashion Is Art dress code. The intricate embroidery took roughly 11,000 hours to create, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship. The beaded accents emphasize the intensive labor and narrative behind the design. Additionally, the inclusion of a "sfumato effect," a technique rooted in Renaissance painting, reinforces the artistic nature of the gown.
