Our Fair Lady! One thing about Kendall Jenner is she knows how to shut down a red carpet. Case in point, the 2021 Met Gala. With this year’s theme being In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, the stage was set for Kendall to pull off one of her most iconic looks to date. Inspired by Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, the model offered a modern take on a classic with her custom nude illusions Givenchy gown.

Every aspect of this ensemble is flawless. From the pumps to the jewels, all the way up to the hair—which is not surprising, given Mane Addicts’ founder Jen Atkin whipped up this dazzling updo. The soft, feminine bun paired so perfectly with this dress dripping in diamonds. It added a dainty feel to the overall look, while still paying homage to Audrey’s regal updo from the film.
