Kylie Jenner has always been a polarizing figure in pop culture. Whether people love her or criticize her, there’s no denying she has a powerful presence in the media. As a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family, Kylie has built an empire that includes beauty, skincare, and now fashion. She’s become an incredibly successful entrepreneur with her brands Kylie Cosmetics, Kylie Skin, and her latest venture, Khy, a clothing line that’s been getting a lot of attention lately—some good, and some not so much. Recently, Kylie caused quite a stir online with a video she posted promoting Khy’s newest collection. In the clip, she’s wearing a bold red latex dress with a plunging neckline, and while showing it off, she makes a comment that immediately set social media on fire. Kylie joked that she would wear the skin-tight outfit to pick up her kids from school, and people had a lot to say about it.
In the video, Kylie sits confidently in the striking red gown, answering questions from a member of her team who’s behind the camera. She talks about how the dress makes her feel, using the word “snatched” to describe her look. She mentions how versatile she believes the outfit is, saying she’d wear it to the club, to business meetings, and yes, even to pick up her children from school. As many know, Kylie shares two children with her ex-boyfriend, rapper Travis Scott: Stormi, who is 7 years old, and Aire, who is 3. The idea of wearing such a provocative outfit for a school run didn’t sit well with a number of people, and many took to social media to express their opinions.
Kylie explained in the video that she loves how the latex pieces in her collection make her feel. “My favorite thing about this collection is probably the way that it makes me feel,” she said. “It’s our sexiest collection yet. We have the best latex, and the reason I fell in love with the Poster Girl dresses is because I love how thin and comfortable their latex is, so it makes me happy.” She added, “I would wear this outfit to the clurb. I would wear this outfit to pick up my kids from school. I would wear this outfit to take business meetings. I feel very snatched in this outfit.” While Kylie may have intended the comment as a joke, the reaction was swift and divided.
Some fans jumped to Kylie’s defense, suggesting that people simply didn’t understand her sense of humor. One user commented, “You guys do NOT know Kylie’s humor, she can be VERY unserious.” They pointed out that the remark was likely made in jest and not meant to be taken literally. However, not everyone was as forgiving. Critics accused Kylie of being out of touch and overly focused on projecting a sultry image. One person wrote, “She ain’t picking up kids in that shit. Stop it.” Another added, “Kylie’s obsession to be sultry is so aggravating.” The backlash highlights the ongoing debate about how female celebrities, especially mothers, choose to present themselves in public.
Despite the controversy, Kylie continues to push forward with her business ventures. Just last week, she unveiled a series of photos on Instagram, showing off her latest latex dress collection. The new line is a collaboration between Khy and the fashion brand POSTER GIRL. This latest launch came shortly after Kylie was spotted out in public with her current boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet. The two were seen at the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament, where Timothée appeared focused on the game while Kylie was
