Kendall Jenner wears a custom Cinderella blue Chanel dress and Tiffany jewelry to the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. For last year’s event, the model chose a sheer lace Mugler dress. She recently reflected on how the fashion industry has changed over the past decade, telling ELLE that it’s fun but “challenging at times.”
Kendall Jenner made her first red carpet appearance of the year at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, bringing supermodel energy and a stunning Chanel dress to the festival. The model wore a custom Cinderella blue sleeveless dress accessorized with white sandal heels by Gianvito Rossi and a platinum diamond ring and earrings by Tiffany & Co.
The dress had a slit in the back, which Jenner showed off on the red carpet.
Jenner is a regular at lively Oscar afterparties. Last year, she was photographed wearing a body-hugging sheer lace Mugler dress.
Jenner recently spoke to ELLE about how the fashion industry has changed since she began her modeling career. “Well, it’s been 11 years, so it’s necessarily different, right?” she said. “Everything changes so quickly. It’s fun, but it can be difficult at times. I think we all like and dislike things in different ways. We have to be willing to shape and change with it, but at the same time know where we fit. I think that might be another strength of mine.”
Her view of beauty has also evolved over the years, saying, “I see it completely differently now. You see beautiful women outwardly on magazine covers, on runways, in campaigns, but you never know what’s going on behind the scenes or what that woman does personally. I don’t know exactly. You can see beautiful covers, but they’re not necessarily beautiful on the inside. It doesn’t mean they’re not beautiful people. I’m (mentioning) their struggles, their heartaches, their spiritual stuff.” I’ve become more empathetic (like health), and I’ve learned to be kinder to people, realizing that everyone has their own story, and there’s always a story behind the scenes. ”
