ALBAWABA - Kylie Jenner stuns Vanity Fair cover shoot, sparking global debate.
Kylie Jenner is going for a striking appearance as the cover girl of the Vanity Fair spring issue, featuring in a collection of high-fashion and avant-garde styles. Shot by Mert Alas, the shoot sees Jenner in equestrian-inspired looks, including a satin Dolce & Gabbana bra and Hermès riding breeches.
Another stunning shot shows the 28-year-old tycoon wearing nothing but a giant Chanel bow, proving she is still a boundary-pushing fashion icon. In a wide-ranging talk with Nate Freeman, Jenner spoke about how her work has evolved beyond reality TV.
Looking back on the beginnings of her business empire, she revealed she spent around $250,000—what she remembered as, "probably, like, half the money I had in my bank account"—to create Kylie Cosmetics.
She also discussed her relationship with actor Timothée Chalamet, especially after his viral moment at the Critics’ Choice Awards when he openly professed his love for her. The interview also touched on her entry into the realm of cinema with her role in the A24 mockumentary The Moment.
Kylie Jenner said she lobbied for her role in the movie herself while on a flight with the director and Charli XCX. She acknowledged being somewhat concerned about making the jump to written work but quickly found her feet on set.
“I think after the first take I was like, ‘Okay. I'm feeling good about this,'" she said in the debate. The Moment, which opened January 30, is a satirical look at the constraints of modern musical fame and the cultural phenomena of “Brat Summer.”
The film is directed by Aidan Zamiri and co-written by Aidan Zamiri and Bertie Brandes and stars Charli XCX as an exaggerated fictionalized version of herself. Critics have identified a key sequence featuring Jenner as a pivotal moment in the film's narrative.
The mockumentary features a killer ensemble cast including Alexander Skarsgård, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, and Jamie Demetriou. Skarsgård has been especially appreciated for his work as Johannes, a dominating director and one of the film’s main antagonists.
The project has also been praised for its unusual soundtrack, produced by A.G. Cook, which comprises a host of new compositions that encapsulate the film’s frenetic and high-energy vibe.
It looks like Kylie Jenner’s nascent interest in acting is more than just a one-off, as she’s already been sent a number of new screenplays. She said she enjoys the comedy genre specifically while waiting for the appropriate opportunity to come along.
“I love comedy. “I think I’m excellent at it,” she said, adding that she’d even be open to leading an action film in the future. Kylie Jenner remains one of the most powerful figures in pop culture as she juggles motherhood, her huge business ventures, and her new acting pursuits.
Her recent high-profile appearances, like the Critics’ Choice Awards with Chalamet, indicate she’s successfully bridging the gap between the reality stars and the Hollywood inner circle.
