Supermodel Kendall Jenner has been turning heads with her diverse summer wardrobe as she globetrots from the Paris Olympics to Ibiza, and most recently, to the Bahamas for her sister Kylie’s 27th birthday bash. The fashion icon took to Instagram to showcase her latest look: a stunning, gold-toned halter dress that perfectly captured the essence of a tropical celebration.
This body-hugging number, a blend of silk and spandex, featured intricate ruching and a daring vertical line of cut-outs, accentuated by gleaming gold crescent-shaped hardware from chest to hip. Jenner complemented the ensemble with delicate brown strappy sandals, trading in her trending Nike sneakers for a more elegant touch. A glass of white wine, matching the dress’s golden hue, completed the picture-perfect moment.
But this isn’t just any vacation dress – it’s a piece of fashion history. The mini dress is a rare find from Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2005 collection, marking Alessandra Facchinetti’s debut for the brand following Tom Ford’s departure. Currently valued at $3,245 on 1st Dibs, the Metal Spine Bodycon Mini Dress is a testament to Jenner’s keen eye for vintage couture.
This glamorous outfit marks a departure from Jenner’s typical beach attire, which usually consists of micro bikinis and diaphanous cover-ups. Just days before, she was spotted in a cheeky gold string bikini and a see-through striped sundress from Australian brand DISSH.
The tropical glam look is a far cry from Jenner’s Olympic-inspired ensembles seen earlier in Paris. There, she sported a mix of sporty and patriotic outfits, including a show-stopping gold slip skirt and official Ralph Lauren Olympic gear. She expertly blended high fashion with athletic wear, pairing designer pieces from Khaite and The Row with sporty caps and bomber jackets.
From the sidelines of Olympic events to the shores of exotic islands, Kendall Jenner continues to prove her status as a global style icon, effortlessly transitioning between sporty chic and tropical glamour.
