In the words of Kylie Jenner’s ex-brother-in-law Kanye West, her presence is a present.
The makeup mogul fronts Vanity Fair’s spring issue in a (literally) stripped-down take on equestrian attire, lighting up a cig in a satin Dolce & Gabbana bra and Hermès riding breeches — but the cover shot’s downright conservative compared to some of the others from her spread.
In one particularly racy pic, the 28-year-old style star struts down the hallway of an opulent manse, wearing absolutely nothing besides a gigantic Chanel bow (technically a cape, per the credits) and brooch.

Other standout snaps from Mert Alas’ shoot for the mag see Jenner reclining in bed in a ruffly Saint Laurent gown, modeling a scalloped Miu Miu bra and even channeling West’s new wife, Bianca Censori, in sheer hosiery styled sans shirt.
In the accompanying interview by Nate Freeman, the youngest Kardashian-Jenner discusses her acting debut in Charli XCX’s A24 mockumentary “The Moment,” the origins of her Kylie Cosmetics empire — “It was probably, like, half the money I had in my bank account,” she recalls of the $250,000 she spent to get her beauty company off the ground — and her viral appearance at a 2023 Schiaparelli show in a dress adorned with a lion’s head.
Her relationship with fellow A-lister Timothée Chalamet also came up during the chat, with Freeman asking Jenner how it felt having the “Marty Supreme” actor declare his love for her onstage at the Critics Choice Awards.

“Is it fun?” Freeman asked.
“Of course,” Jenner replied.
Following their fashionable joint appearances throughout awards season — matching orange leather Chrome Hearts looks at the “Marty Supreme” premiere, all-black ensembles at the BAFTA Awards and more — we can’t wait to see what the pair pull out for Sunday’s Oscars.
