Jenner hit the Met Gala red carpet wearing a Givenchy gown by Alexander McQueen from the 1999 fall collection. The black dress featured beautiful beaded details, including long beaded accents on each arm, a plunging neckline and a daring backside cutout.
Jenner paired the look with long curled hair, contrasting the high-up pony she wore with the Marc Jacob bodysuit she showcased at last year's Met Gala.

MET GALA 2024: RED CARPET ARRIVALS
"I am so, so incredibly honored to wear it," Jenner told Vogue of the Givenchy dress on the red carpet for the Met Gala May 6.
Jenner added that she was the first human to wear the dress. It had only ever been showcased on a mannequin before her.

Some celebs go with a custom look for the Met Gala, while others, like Jenner, hope to bring back an old piece, although there are some challenges with this approach. Jenner told Vogue she was unable to tailor or make any adjustments to the dress.

"For me, when I heard it, the first thing I thought of was something archival, and, so, that’s kind of when I started doing a little research and, in my research, kind of came across this dress," Jenner told Vogue when asked about what "The Garden of Time," the dress code of the night, meant to her.

"The chances that they had it available was really slim. And the chances that it fit me were also pretty slim, and I couldn’t do any tailoring. I couldn’t do anything, and it just fit perfectly," Jenner said.
Jenner and the rest of the Kardashian crew are no strangers to the New York City event. Jenner has been attending the Met Gala since she was 18 years old.
