Kendall Jenner, 26, was a favorite model of the late designer Virgil Abloh for many reasons— from her fierce runway walk to the many ways she can pull off his edgy designs in extravagant photo shoots.
Jenner recently honored Abloh by strutting the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week for his brand, Off-White, and showed off its sultry leather mini dress— a look that emphasized her ultra-toned figure. The short hemline of the strapless, bodycon garment is instantly iconic on Jenner, garnering buzz on social media from fans, and part of an overall bold ensemble (with a sweet sentiment behind it) that we won’t soon forget.

The black, body-hugging garment was made with sequined leather and stayed true to itself with the words “little black dress” printed in white lettering on its side. The supermodel (with newly red locks) donned a baseball cap backwards with cat ears sewn onto it and a black veil that was draped over her face. The dress was paired with matching, knee-high sparkling boots that further highlighted her tall frame and long legs.
Jenner shared footage of her look to Instagram on March 1st, writing, “V FOREVER, we miss you.” Her post garnered over 5 million likes and thousands of comments. Fans noted that they not only loved the dress on Jenner, but also missed the creative genius of the designer who passed in November 2021 at the age of 41 from cancer.

Jenner also slipped on elbow-length black gloves, had the word “babe” written on her face and carried a pink can as a prop. She smiled while on the runway, paying homage to her friend and designer that she worked with many times. Off-White also shared a video of Jenner hitting the runway to Instagram soon after, indicating in the caption that the Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh™ runway show was titled “Spaceship Earth” and was dubbed an “Imaginary Experience,” debuting a “High Fashion” collection.
