Nothing screams “mom jar” like a pastel power suit.
And there’s no mother like Kris Jenner.
The mother-of-six (and manager) shared a photo on Instagram wearing a bright purple power suit that featured a miniskirt and a blazer with shoulder pads. This is an archival Thierry Mugler piece from Fall/Winter 1998, the era of power suiting.
The suit had all the hallmarks of iconic ’80s style: a knee-length pencil silhouette, nipped waist, plunging neckline, and curved peplum shape. In an era known for its colorful and often clashing hues, Jenner’s choice of bright purple doubles down on the post-disco era vibe.
Whether she’s wearing spandex leggings or a haute couture dress, Chris commands her own. But there’s something special about this unexpected vintage power suit moment.
She took a more contemporary approach with her accessories, including nude fishnet stockings, nude point-toe shoes, diamond earrings, and a sparkling diamond cross pendant around her neck.
Styled by Oscar Pera, her hair is slicked back and cut into a chic bob with volume at the top.
The Kardashian-Jenners love archival moments. This year, the whole family seems to be into vintage haute couture more than ever.
However, women are particularly interested in Mugler’s work.
This summer, Kim pulled out a sheer bodysuit with a built-in garter from her 1998 collection. Previously, she wore a corseted look at the Academy Museum Gala in the same archival year.
Kylie also often opts for vintage Mugler ensembles, which she has continued to wear over the years, from the design house’s archives to the 2024 Academy Museum Gala to the 2022 CFDA Awards and other high-fashion events.
