Our favorite fashion girls largely have very distinct personal styles. It’s what sets the wardrobes of Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner apart from the likes of Emma Stone and Cate Blanchett, and truly, these subtle differences is what makes their fashion choices interesting to follow in the first place. In spite of their personal leanings, sometimes stars will co-sign, say, a trend or a certain color all at once. Last night, leading fashion girl Dua Lipa showed off a backless LBD that just so happened to be a riff on the exact silhouette Kylie Jenner sported a few weeks ago.
Dua pulled out the piece, a custom number from Jacqueumus’ spring 2024 collection, to appear on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show. The pared-back color way of the dress really allowed the various design details to shine—like a sizable cut-out at the back and a center slit which showed off the pop sensation’s matching sling back shoes.
While Dua and Kylie are more aligned on the fashion girl spectrum than most, their respective Jacquemus looks had some key differences. For starters, the floor-sweeping length of Dua’s dress provided a more formal feel than the ultra-mini cut of Kylie’s piece.

Both dresses did have one main factor in common, though—a sculptural, almost ’80s-style bodice complete with padded shoulders and the tiniest cut-out detail. Kylie paired her dress (which she wore for Jacquemus’ spring runway show) with matching heels and a pillbox bag while Dua styled her look with statement silver and gold jewels.

Although Dua opted for the longer dress of the two, her look was designed with considerably more sheer fabric than Kylie’s, mainly near the skirt and the back of the bodice.

Dua and Kylie’s choice to bring out varying degrees of the same Jacquemus dress only solidifies the differences in their respective styles currently. While Kylie seemed to be on an all-black streak late last year, she’s now leaning into louder silhouettes, and especially this particular shade of cherry red. Dua, on the other hand, has been all about muted and earth tones of late—like her chainmail Courrèges look at the Grammys and this Jacquemus LBD.
Zendaya’s Roksanda Suit Isn’t Just Off-the-Runway, It’s Pre-RunwayFASHIONBeyoncé Shocks Bushwick By Sitting Front Row At The Luar Showby
Now, what business does Beyoncé have in Bushwick? Luar does draw quite a sceney crowd every season, so it’s not rare to see a big name or two on the front row. It turned out, however, that Beyoncé’s nephew, Julez Smith Jr., would make his runway debut during the show. The night was a true family affair—Tina and Solange Knowles were both amongst the crowd, too—but Beyoncé’s attendance, predictably, sent the crowd into a frenzy (editors and press were standing on their seats to get a glimpse of the singer who was flanked by her very serious security detail). Not even the brand’s designer Raul Lopez, a longtime friend of Solange, knew that Queen Bey would be in attendance.
Expectedly, Beyoncé didn’t disappoint with her show look—and, in fact, her outfit might have given us a hint as to what we can expect from her upcoming era. She paired her blinged-out Gaurav Gupta couture blazer dress with blinding jewels and a ring from Jacob & Co. The star accessorized her outfit with bedazzled boots, a metallic Luar Ana bag, aviator shades, and a cowboy hat. She might’ve been in Bushwick, but her look was very much so “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

Ms. Tina also pulled out some pretty serious fashion of her own to watch her grandson on the runway. She slipped into one of Luar’s signature coats and rounded out her look with leather gloves, gold jewelry, and a red lip.

The mother-daughter duo watched closely as Julez did his thing on the runway. A few seats down, Solange looked on proudly—she just so happened to be seated next to another beloved New York designer, Christoper John Rogers.
You’d have to go back almost a decade to find Beyoncé’s last NYFW appearance. The Big Apple, historically, doesn’t draw the types of stars that Milan and Paris do—but, last night, Luar definitely had the biggest star of them all.
