These Kendall Jenner Bottega Veneta dresses are yet further proof that 'Quiet Luxury' is the style aesthetic to incorporate into your capsule wardrobe, for summer and beyond.

The model and 818 founder has been putting on quite the stylish display while in Paris this week, stepping out in not one but two retro-looking Bottega Veneta looks that just ooze old money and golden-age, Hollywood glamour vibes.

Though we thought she was all about the coastal-cowgirl vibes, which has been turning heads over on TikTok—not to mention her recent affinity with the sheer dress trend—Kendall has joined the likes of sister Kylie and Sofia Richie, to rep some seriously minimalist, but timeless silhouettes...

Kendall Jenner's Bottega Veneta dresses

In case you've not seen her recent Instagram serves, Kenny (who is rumored to be dating Bad Bunny) wore two rather special dresses, following the Jacquemus Versailles 2023 runway show.

The first, was a grey, mid-length corset dress, with a puffed, ruched and pleated skirt that looks very reminiscent of 1940/ '50s style. She paired the classy dress with a pair of loafers, a chunky clutch and her signature rectangle sunglasses—honestly, the Kendall Jenner sunglasses never miss.

The second dress was glittery and lemon yellow, with a shape that reminds us of the iconic white, Marilyn Monroe steam-vent dress—with its halter neck and A-line skirt. She paired the retro number with white strappy heels and a matching yellow shoulder bag.

These structured dresses are quite the departure from her recent, more daring sheer looks (like her sheer and flower nipple pasties dress) and along with pleated and thick poplin-style skirts, we're starting to see them everywhere as the season progresses. So, for anyone wanting to channel this expensive vibe for a not-so-expensive price, we've got you...
