Kylie Jenner’s Awards Season Shift: From Red Carpet Companion to Rising Actress
Kylie Jenner is redefining her role during awards season, prioritizing support for her partner, Timothée Chalamet, while simultaneously stepping into the spotlight with her acting debut in The Moment.
This awards season has seen a notable change in Kylie Jenner’s public appearances. Rather than gracing the traditional red carpet, the beauty mogul has largely chosen to support her partner, actor Timothée Chalamet, star of Marty Supreme, from the audience. However, amidst the intense media focus on Chalamet, a significant development for Jenner herself has been somewhat overlooked: her foray into acting.
A Debut Role in The Moment
Jenner’s first acting role comes in The Moment, a false documentary centered around pop artist Charli XCX. The film’s Los Angeles premiere saw Jenner making a statement of her own, arriving in a striking ensemble by Maison Margiela. This marked the debut collection by Glenn Martens for the prestigious house, previewing the Spring-Summer 2026 ready-to-wear line.
Deconstructed Elegance: Jenner’s Premiere Look
Styled by Rose and Mackenzie Grandquist, Jenner’s outfit featured a cream-colored blouse with dramatic, excessive ruffles. This was paired with a double-layered black and cream skirt that flowed into a captivating, liquid train. Demonstrating a bold fashion choice, Jenner opted to forgo the garment’s original four-seamed mouthpiece and removed the navel panel, revealing a glimpse of her midriff. Her signature beauty look – a tanned complexion, subtle makeup, and a sleek, tied-back hairstyle – completed the ensemble.
Jenner posed on the red carpet alongside her The Moment collaborators, including Tish Weinstock, Bertie Brandes, Kate Berlant, Aidan Zamiri, Charli XCX, Trew Mullen, and Richard Perez. A cohesive sartorial rhythm connected the group, with many opting for transparent fabrics, black accents, and touches of cool mint tones. Charli XCX, for example, wore a vintage Alexander McQueen leather bra and a custom Paul Gaultier x Ludovic corset from Sant Sernin, paired with her signature leather micro shorts from R and M. Jenner later shared a photo with Charli XCX and director Zamiri, playfully captioning it “triplet energy.”
This shift in focus for Jenner signals a new chapter, showcasing her ambition beyond the beauty industry and into the world of film.
