Kendall Jenner has redefined the concept of high fashion during her recent private tour of the Louvre Museum in Paris. The model and reality TV star decided to forgo footwear while exploring the world-famous art institution after public hours, as seen in a series of Instagram photos she shared on Wednesday.
Jenner's "midnight" visit, as she described it in her caption, showcased her barefoot and relaxed as she admired iconic masterpieces such as Leonardo Da Vinci’s 'Mona Lisa' and Paolo Veronese’s 'The Wedding Feast at Cana'. Her decision to walk barefoot in the historic museum has stirred quite a reaction online.
Fans and critics alike are questioning Jenner's choice to abandon her shoes in a place that sees around 30,000 visitors daily. One Instagram user commented, "You know how powerful this woman is when she can have all the Louvre for herself in the middle of the night."
Others viewed the photos as a blatant display of celebrity privilege, with one user writing, “We get it. You’re so filthy rich you can get the Louvre to open at midnight just for you to walk barefoot around the historic halls.”
Another user wrote, "Where are your shoes girl."
The other user wrote, "Midnight date at the museum, romance is not dead and seeing you from Benito’s point of view!"
Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid mocked for horseback entry at Vogue Paris show
Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid made headlines with their unique entry at the Vogue World Paris show on Sunday, June 23. The supermodels arrived on horseback, riding Hermes-dressed horses through Place Vendome. This extravagant display was part of a larger celebration featuring singers Katy Perry, Sabrina Carpenter, and sports stars Serena and Venus Williams, who collectively transformed the city square into an impromptu runway.
Vogue described the event, stating, “Vogue World: Paris will look back, decade by decade, at the last century of French fashion and how it relates to the history of sports—from cycling to swimming to fencing to breakdancing—always with an eye to our present and future.”
The spectacle of Jenner and Hadid on horseback received mixed reactions. Some critics derided the display as overly theatrical, with one commentator labeling it a “circus.” Despite this, the event was meant to pay homage to the fusion of fashion and sports throughout the last century.
Anna Wintour, Vogue's global editorial director, expressed gratitude for the event's success. “We're here to celebrate the wonder of French fashion. So I'm just grateful for all the support from the French community and the world of fashion here in Paris,” she said.
Jenner and Hadid wore matching taupe blazers with shiny black collars, while their horses, Django and Napo, were adorned with colorful Hermes scarves, as reported by The Daily Mail.
The models later changed into different outfits for the show. Jenner stunned in a nude corset dress with a semi-sheer petticoat underskirt, complemented by stylish white gloves and bright red lipstick. Hadid opted for a custom Balmain ensemble featuring a gold-plated corset and a blue skirt with a dramatic thigh-high slit.
