A dramatic, sculptural gown became the focal point of the Schiaparelli Spring 2025 Haute Couture presentation in Paris this week, worn by model Kendall Jenner. The design showcased the house’s signature avant-garde approach to form and silhouette.
The custom creation featured a structured, strapless bodice in a neutral tone, engineered with precise seaming that created an optical illusion of an exaggerated hourglass figure. The architectural construction extended over the hips before flowing into a floor-length skirt of a lighter, silky fabric adorned with a subtle metallic motif. Jenner completed the look with a severe, slicked-back hairstyle, minimal dewy makeup, and pointed metallic shoes barely visible beneath the hem.
Notably, the model wore no jewelry, a choice that highlighted the gown’s intricate neckline and open back, which revealed toned shoulders and back muscles. Jenner shared professional images and backstage clips from the event on her social media, captioning the post with praise for Schiaparelli’s creative director Daniel Roseberry and the overall collection.
The look quickly garnered significant attention online, with comments ranging from admiration for its striking visual impact to remarks about its seemingly restrictive construction. This appearance continues Jenner’s ongoing collaboration with the historic fashion house, following previous runway walks that have also sparked widespread discussion.
