Have you ever wondered what goes into a celebrity’s look for a major event? The video above gives a sneak peek. It shows Kendall Jenner getting ready for the prestigious Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Her preparation offers insights into beauty, fashion, and even mental wellness.
1. The Balenciaga Gown: A Statement Piece
Kendall Jenner’s choice of attire for the Oscar after-party was a showstopper. A custom Balenciaga gown was selected. This dress arrived all the way from Paris.
Demna Gvasalia, Balenciaga’s creative director, personally reached out to Kendall. She felt extremely honored to wear the brand’s head-to-toe creation. The gown was considered gorgeous and very different for her style. It still felt very Balenciaga but remained elegant. This Balenciaga design was deemed perfect for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
2. Glam Team: Hair and Makeup Harmony
Next, it was time for hair and makeup. Kendall works with her trusted glam squad. Mary Phillips is her legendary makeup artist. Jen Atkin is her one-and-only hairstylist. Oscar, her best friend’s dog, even made a cameo.
Kendall believes in letting one element have its moment. This means either the hair, makeup, or outfit takes the spotlight. Doing everything bold can often become too much. The stunning Balenciaga dress was given its full moment tonight. So, hair and makeup were kept fun yet simple. Jen Atkin styled Kendall’s recently dyed hair into a chic ponytail. Extra-long extensions were added just for the evening. This gave her a mermaid-like feel.
3. Skincare Philosophy: Less is Truly More
Regarding skincare, Kendall has a clear philosophy. She finds that less is truly more. Her routine emphasizes hydration above all else. A hydrating mask or treatment mask is often used. This is applied either the day before or the morning of an event. Drinking tons of water all day is also crucial. This helps her skin feel truly hydrated from within. This simple approach helps maintain natural glow. It avoids overwhelming the skin with too many products.
4. Mental Preparation for Big Nights
Physical preparation is important. Yet, mental and emotional preparation is also key for Kendall. She describes herself as a naturally sleepy person. Big nights out are rare for her. When they do happen, she prepares herself thoroughly. Friends get excited when she comes out. She does not want to disappoint them.
First, Kendall acknowledges the unseen internal struggles people face. These struggles happen before stepping into public settings. Many people grapple with insecurities daily. This could be before a major Oscar after-party. It could also be before a simple birthday party or a wedding. Kendall herself has struggled with confidence before. Breakouts, for example, affected her self-esteem. She tries to be understanding and empathetic towards everyone. She believes people’s struggles are often hidden. A small tequila drink was enjoyed to loosen up before the red carpet. This shows a lighthearted approach to managing pre-event nerves.
5. The Final Reveal and a Surprise Guest
Finally, it was time for Kendall to get changed. The anticipation built for her stunning reveal. She showed off the complete look. The full Balenciaga ensemble was breathtaking. Her simple yet elegant glam complemented the dress. A special guest also arrived for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Kim Kardashian joined Kendall. She was excited to go with her to the party. This moment highlighted the fun and family aspect of Hollywood events.
