Kylie Jenner reveals her real skin tone as she ditches fake tan in behind-the-scenes clip

Kylie Jenner has shown her natural skin tone in a behind-the-scenes video about her getting ready for the Met Gala.

The reality TV star, 24, was among the celebrity guests at the annual fundraising gala earlier this week, with her opting to wear a wedding dress that had a special meaning.

She has since given fans a glimpse at the process behind the fashion choice in a vlog on YouTube, in which a fresh-faced Kylie is seen modelling potential dresses for the event.

The video shows the mother-of-two trying on a couple of outfits at a fitting in Palm Springs, California, on April 14. She's seen posing in the options in front of her team.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum showed off her natural complexion at the fitting, with the youngest sibling of the family appearing to go makeup free for it as well.

It was in stark contrast to the way she looked at the Met Gala itself in New York City weeks later, where she was photographed sporting a deep tan and heavy makeup.

Fans have been complimentary about the natural look, with a number of them having shared their thoughts about it in response to the recent vlog on the social platform Reddit.

"She looks absolutely beautiful. Omg, we haven't seen her look so fresh in so long and it suits her so much," wrote one fan. Another said: "She looks better without makeup imo."

Another said: "I don't think I've ever seen a photo of her sans tan and her natural skin tone looks and suits her better." "Love her without a tan," agreed another fan.

"Holy s*** I didn't think this was her actual skin color. She needs to lay off the tan," encouraged one fan. Others said that she looks "cute" and "beautiful without makeup".

Another said: "She's so pretty. These are some of the rawest bare faced photos of Kylie I've seen in a long time." Whilst one fan wrote: "She looks great without the orange tan."

During the vlog, Kylie opened up about her inspiration for the outfit - which sparked conversation this week as some felt it didn't fit the 'Gilded Glamor and White Tie' theme.

She explained to it was in honour of late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, who passed away in November last year. He was a longtime friend of the Kardashian-Jenner family.

Virgil - who had worked for Louis Vuitton - was the founder of fashion label Off-White, with Kylie having chosen to wear one of its dresses to the Met Gala in tribute to him.

She said: "I feel like I was supposed to go with Off-White because Virgil and I talked about this for the last two years. It feels right that my Met comeback [is] Off-White."

"It also puts off the pressure of what people think about my look because I love it so much and it's so much more special to me. I don't care what people think," she added.
