I might have signed off on Marie Claire's Met Gala best-dressed list a few hours early. When I woke up this morning and saw the vintage Mugler Kendall Jenner and stylist Dani Michelle had sourced for the 2025 Met Gala after-parties, I felt it needed an update. I also Slacked my boss immediately: "This is what chic actually looks like."
Let me set the scene: Jenner's official Met Gala red carpet look had been a refreshing fashion curveball. Instead of wearing one of her usual favorites—say, The Row or Gucci—she tapped the emerging designer Torishéju Dumi for a gray gown that "took inspiration from Gladys Bentley and the elegance of 1920s Harlem Renaissance women." Jenner has a thing for gray suiting (especially when she's traveling to Paris), but this look's combination of historic vintage references and exquisite tailoring felt like a swerve. I thought the night ended there; I thought wrong.
