If Kendall Jenner is embracing restraint this festive season, Kylie Jenner is doing the exact opposite — and unapologetically so. At her annual Kylie Cosmetics holiday party, the beauty mogul leaned fully into maximalism, delivering a lesson in showgirl glamour that left subtlety at the door.
Arriving at Casa Vega in Los Angeles, Kylie stepped out in a flamingo-pink statement gown from Conner Ives’ Spring 2026 collection. The London-based designer’s creation clung to her frame, sculpted in sheer chiffon and fuchsia satin, with a halter neckline and daring cut-outs running along the sides and back. But the true drama lay in the details: vintage feather plumes cascaded from the neckline, hips, and back of the dress, transforming the look into something theatrical, playful, and deliberately excessive.
In keeping with Ives’ commitment to sustainability, the feathers were sourced vintage — proof that extravagance and conscious design don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Kylie kept the styling sharp and intentional, opting for a slicked-back bun, nude lace-up sandals that wrapped around her legs, and a jet-black manicure that grounded the otherwise sugary palette.
The look stood in stark contrast to Kendall Jenner’s pared-back approach to holiday dressing. Just days earlier, Kendall attended an intimate gathering in Los Angeles wearing fitted stirrup leggings and a fur-trimmed wool Valentino coat, finished with a burgundy shoulder bag and sleek heels. Hailey Bieber, who joined her, echoed the mood in a navy skirt suit with a subtle peplum — understated, controlled, and quietly festive.
As ever, the sisters’ fashion philosophies diverge. Kendall favours restraint and mood, Kylie embraces spectacle and fantasy. And during the holidays, that contrast feels especially poetic.
In the end, it’s a tale of two Jenners: one keeps it cool and composed, the other brings feathers, colour, and unapologetic excess.
