Can someone please check on Kylie Jenner’s Y/Project balaclava, Paco Rabanne chainmail hooded top and Galliano-era Dior sets?

It seems like the winds of change must be blowing through Calabasas because the beauty mogul has taken to social media to unveil her latest sartorial era—an unexpected turn that has the reality star eschewing her signature skin-tight silhouettes for something a little more breezy.

Indeed, if you were one of Jenner’s 394 million Instagram followers to awoke to pictures of the mother-of-two wearing one of DÔEN’s signature prairie dresses in a grassy field, you may have thought it was a glitch in the matrix.

After all, the mainstream foray into the cottagecore aesthetic hasn’t occurred since the style peaked in 2020.

Just as the cottagecore aesthetic rose in prevalence after the pandemic forced us to crave simplicity and nostalgia, the style just as quickly fleeted after sensual dressing became the sartorial mode and debauchery was ushered in after finally tasting freedom again.

Given these billowing silhouettes are a style Jenner’s older sister, Kendall, usually gravitates to, seeing her don this romantic floral maxi skirt was very much a refreshing palette cleanser.

Then, a day later,  Jenner posted another Instagram dump of herself in the dress, potentially signalling that a cottagecore renaissance would soon be upon us.

In the images, Jenner mixed two signature aesthetics by pairing the square-neck cotton smock with puff sleeves, with a pair of low-top rubber and leather sneakers from French label Marine Serre.

Jenner also showed off the quiet luxury accessories she completed her ensemble with, including a pair of pearl-drop Chanel earrings, Bottega Veneta’s Cabat shoulder bag in camel and Loewe’s Maruja Mallo scarf.

Jenner didn’t address her new mode of dressing, however, given her recent trip to Paris, we can’t help but wonder if Jenner may be living out her Sofia Coppola Marie Antionette fantasy in this flirty and floral coquettish ensemble.
