Kylie Jenner has finally addressed the fashion mystery behind her frequent choice of black dresses while attending major award shows with her boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet. In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, published on Wednesday, May 28, the beauty mogul and reality TV star opened up about the subtle yet intentional thinking behind her signature style when stepping out with the Dune actor.
“I think it just happened that way,” Jenner said when asked about the trend. The Kardashians star, 27, recently made her official red carpet debut with Chalamet at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome, where she stunned in a sleek black Schiaparelli gown that quickly drew fashion acclaim.

“Even recently, I was like, I can’t wear another black dress. And then, of course, the most perfect, gorgeous Schiaparelli black dress shows up,” Jenner recalled of the gown she wore to the event, where Chalamet was honored with the David Award for Cinematic Excellence.
“Although these are the most beautiful, iconic gowns I’ve been wearing, I think a black dress is also kind of like, not too attention-grabbing in the best way. You can never go wrong with a black dress,” the Khy founder added. The couple has been seen together frequently since romance rumors began circulating in April 2023, but the David Di Donatello Awards marked their first official appearance on the red carpet together.

While her black dress choices may appear understated, Jenner continues to make bold fashion statements. At the 2025 Oscars, she wore a daring Miu Miu gown featuring a dramatic cutout framed by delicate straps. She followed the look with another black ensemble for the after-party, this time opting for a lace corset bodice and sheer flowing skirt.

Despite the growing attention surrounding her relationship with Chalamet, Jenner’s fashion selections seem to reflect a conscious effort to stay stylish yet composed. Her understated elegance in black allows her to strike the balance between glamour and subtlety, especially in the spotlight of Hollywood’s most high-profile events.
And while Jenner’s wardrobe choices may vary in fabric and silhouette, her message remains clear: a black dress offers timeless appeal and just the right amount of restraint. Whether she’s supporting Chalamet’s cinematic achievements or commanding attention on her own terms, Jenner has proven that black dresses — far from being basic — are the ultimate red carpet power move.
