Turning 30 is no small feat—and Kendall Jenner did it the only way she knows how: effortlessly stylish, subtly decadent, and surrounded by her favorite people. The supermodel traded high-octane glamour for boho ease this year, ringing in her new decade with an island getaway that felt more quiet luxury meets coastal cool than typical Kardashian extravagance.
Set against a dreamy, undisclosed beach backdrop, Kendall’s birthday look captured a softer kind of confidence. She wore a scarf-turned-halter top and a floor-sweeping maxi skirt from Dries Van Noten’s new creative head, Julian Klausner—both pieces splashed with distorted polka dots and argyle-inspired prints. It wasn’t loud, it was lived-in. A quiet kind of statement that says, I’m thirty, and I’m chill.

Of course, no Jenner party is complete without the family lineup. Kris Jenner arrived in bold prints (as mothers of fashion dynasties do), while Hailey Bieber leaned into her signature model-off-duty-meets-glam aesthetic—a cheetah-print mini dress with a daring back cut-out, her husband Justin by her side.
Khloé went for color in a sheer pink number that shimmered under the seaside lights, while Kim and Kylie stayed true to their dark, sultry palettes. Kim’s leather-fringed strapless dress was pure “main character energy,” and Kylie’s cutout LBD proved once again that minimalism can still turn heads. (Kourtney didn’t make it but commented “FOMO miss u guys” on Kim’s Instagram post—sister love, digital edition.)

The evening was intimate but luxe. Think 1995 Château Haut-Brion (the same year Kendall was born), 818 Tequila shots, and a cake that looked like a vintage sculpture—complete with mini 818 bottles. A firework show over the water sealed the night with cinematic flair.

If your twenties are for the chaos of figuring it out, your thirties are for curating it—and Kendall Jenner just gave us a masterclass in doing both beautifully.
