Kylie Jenner Dips Into Mugler Archive and Is Set to Win at the 2026 BAFTAs
kylie jenner skipped the red carpet but joined boyfriend Timothée Chalamet inside London’s Royal Festival Hall for the 79th BAFTA Film Awards, wearing a spring 1999 Thierry Mugler gown. The appearance came as she is set to win Best Hype Woman at the 2026 BAFTAs, and unfolded while Chalamet was up for Best Leading Actor for his role in Marty Supreme.
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet arrived together at the 79th BAFTAs
Jenner attended the ceremony alongside boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for Best Leading Actor for his role in the ping-pong drama Marty Supreme. Rather than walk the red carpet, Jenner joined Chalamet inside London’s Royal Festival Hall, where they watched the awards proceedings from the audience.
Mugler spring 1999 gown sourced through Tab Vintage
The dress Jenner wore was identified as a spring 1999 Thierry Mugler gown sourced through Tab Vintage. The piece brought classic Mugler structure in black velvet, cut with slim straps, a low, curved neckline and a straight, floor-length skirt. Mixed-cut stones formed a concentrated crystal burst that spread outward from a large orange-toned gem at the center of the bust.
Styling details: Alexandra Rose, Mackenzie Grandquist and Lorraine Schwartz
The Kylie Cosmetics founder worked with stylists Alexandra Rose and Mackenzie Grandquist for the BAFTAs appearance. Jenner paired the Mugler gown with teardrop diamond earrings by Lorraine Schwartz and a blue stone ring. She wore her hair straight with a subtle side part and kept makeup minimal, with defined brows, neutral eye makeup and a soft pink lip.
Vintage run on the Marty Supreme campaign trail and the Critics Choice look
The Mugler moment continued Jenner’s emerging run of trophy vintage on the Marty Supreme campaign trail. At the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, Jenner wore a lingerie-inspired slip dress from Versace’s fall 1996 collection, another piece sourced through Tab Vintage, at the same event where Chalamet received the Best Actor trophy for Marty Supreme.
Family archive choices, peers, and the BAFTA results
Other figures have turned to the house’s archive this season: Kim Kardashian opted for a metallic winter 1986 Mugler gown for her family’s Christmas Eve party in December, while Kendall Jenner wore a black rubber lace dress from spring 1992 at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party last March. Performer Chappell Roan also wore Mugler’s spring 1998 “nipple ring” couture dress in burgundy on the 2026 Grammys red carpet, a look noted for its sheer construction and ring-fastened bodice.
Inside the Royal Festival Hall, Jenner and Chalamet watched One Battle After Another take Best Film, and British actor Robert Aramayo won Best Leading Actor for I Swear. Marty Supreme left without a win despite its 11 nominations, tying the BAFTA record for most losses in a single night.
Where the BAFTAs left Kylie Jenner’s season
Beyond the trophy count for Marty Supreme, the night reinforced Jenner’s pattern of archival dressing across premieres and awards appearances. The combination of a spring 1999 Mugler gown, Tab Vintage sourcing and a styling team of Alexandra Rose and Mackenzie Grandquist extended an aesthetic thread that linked the Critics Choice Awards and the BAFTAs. Meanwhile, the headline detail that kylie jenner is set to win Best Hype Woman at the 2026 BAFTAs marks a parallel personal accolade amid the broader sweep of campaign and red‑carpet activity.
