Kendall Jenner was kind of quiet in 2021, right? She launched her stupid 818 Tequila last February, but other than that, she just kind of wandered around here and there, working occasionally and mostly staying quiet. Towards the end of 2021, she did one notable thing: she was bridesmaid at her friend Lauren Perez’s wedding. For the ceremony, Kendall wore a simple-looking blue satin/sateen dress. For the reception, she changed into the Monot dress you can see in these pics from Lauren’s Instagram. Ladies, what would you do if one of your bridesmaids changed into boob floss for your wedding reception? Lauren seemed fine with it.
All eyes may have been on Kendall Jenner at BFF Lauren Perez’s wedding, but the bride didn’t seem to mind. After Jenner, 26, served as a bridesmaid alongside Bella Hadid for the November 2021 nuptials, the group changed out of their blue silk dresses into separate outfits for the reception — and the supermodel caused quite a stir with her barely-there Mônot LBD covered in cutouts.
Perez shared snaps from her big day on Instagram, including a few of Jenner in the skin-baring design, which sparked backlash.
“Inappropriate outfit at a wedding @kendalljenner I’m embarrassed for you,” one person commented, adding “#cringe.”
After Perez chimed in, saying she thought Jenner looked “stunning” and that she “loved” the look, the model herself replied, “@laurenperez obvi asked for your approval in advance too.”
While Jenner went an unconventional route with her bridesmaid attire, the bride kept things traditional in a strapless Vera Wang gown for her Jewish ceremony in Miami — though she did change into a Vivienne Westwood dress and custom Nike Air Force 1s for the reception.
Yeah… I actually think it’s fine, especially if Kendall got the bride to approve her boob floss ahead of time? Personally, I think these days, reception dresses are more like “anything goes.” Most people want to change into something comfortable that they can eat, drink and dance in, although I’m not sure this Monot dress is that. And hey, at least Kendall didn’t wear white to another woman’s wedding. Also: I definitely feel that over the past decade especially, it’s become more common for wedding guests to wear black to the ceremony and party. Which I like!

Do I like it? No.
Does my opinion matter? No!
As long as the bride is happy then I’ll just sit here and shrug at that ugly dress and the place of nepotism models in the world.
Although based on the B&W pic at the bottom I think their actual bridesmaid dresses may be worse… What are they made of??
It looked so is cheap. With exception to Bella and the bride all the dresses look kind of cheap. But as long as the bride is happy.
This was a thirst trap dress.
All of these dresses look like they were bought at Shein.
@ Pink Flamingo, or one of those websites that Buzzfeed will feature with “I ordered this, but this is what I got” articles, where the dresses look nothing like the picture and you can’t get a refund or returns.
Fredericks of Hollywood vibes. So tacky.
What are those bridesmaid dresses and why do they exist? So odd, like loose sausage casing?
I mean… going solely off the bride’s facial expression in that one photo, I wouldn’t say she is okay with the dress (or rather – state of undress)…. My personal 5 cents: the dress is inappropriate and it makes a rare bride to be okay with that kind of outfit at her wedding reception. I would be furious and my night would’ve been ruined (I know, I know, it’s silly, but I’m just being honest, I know I would feel that way). I probably wouldn’t say anything because I’m shy and unassertive but if she showed me the dress in advance I would never agree to this.
I agree with you , I would have been a pissed off bitch . No, you cannot wear that monstrosity to my wedding reception , it’s my day , get on board or stay home . So cheap, so tacky , then there was the dress ….
If you’re so focused on what someone else is wearing to your wedding that it ruins your night then I’d be questioning if you’re focused on the right things. Marriage is a big deal, the party afterwards not so much. Just let them look tacky and enjoy the occasion.
Seriously a friend of mine wore a white dress to mine and I didn’t even notice until I looked at the pictures afterwards.
@Ange: Good point.
One does not have two models as bridesmaids if they aren’t fully confident themselves. They just don’t.
@Christine Scorpio:
Great point.
Kendall sure likes attention. Anyway she can get it.
Yeah this dress was all about her getting attention. I would question the loyalty of a friend who took a special day for me and decided to wear extremely, undeniably attention- grabbing attire to my wedding.
And many people don’t have the confidence to say “I would rather you not wear that”. Kendall should have just known better. But of all the Kardashians I’ve always seen her to be the most self-absorbed, most entitled and least empathetic (which is saying something considering the group I’m talking about lol). People always say she’s so chill, but this move is the opposite of chill. It’s rude and trashy.
Fun story about people wearing attention-grabbing attire at weddings:
My (now ex) Mother-in-Law wore a FULL LENGTH, FLORAL LACE, WHITE MERMAID GOWN to my wedding to her son. She also wore flowers in her hair. It was decidedly weird… in our pictures, she looked like she was marrying her own son. (It was a casual, outdoor affair, and I wore a tea-length semi-formal dress in off-white.)
There were a lot of red flags… his family was just one of them, and his mother by far the biggest, LOL.
@Megan2 Love your story! My sister-in-law (in her 50’s) wore a bride costume to her son’s Halloween-themed wedding (all the guests dressed up). Completely decked out in a floor-length white bridal gown with flowers in her hair also. So cringe my god.
My ex mother-in-law wore something similarly terrible to my wedding. Back and boobs were out at a formal catholic ceremony – not to mention a new platinum dye job . She got the attention she wanted but not in a good way. She obviously did it for spite but it wasn’t enough to ruin my day. It was just a poor reflection on her, embarrassed her son, and solidified my thoughts of her. Glad I’m done with that rubbish.
On the filp side, if a friend or bridesmaid wanted to change into something like that for the reception, I don’t think I’d care. And if the bride in this case didn’t care, why should we? I personally think the dress is tacky and inappropriate but it’s a reflection on her.
Yeah. Cosign. I read the link, was like “well, if the bride is cool with the dress being black who cares” then clicked the link and was like “whew, no, not appropriate, regardless of what the bridge says”. It was a dress designed to steal focus and that is what makes it a faux pas, even at a reception, and no one wants to have to tell someone not to wear a specific dress.
Yeah, I think it’s pretty rude. Although, I would never have looked at this chick’s wedding photos if Kendall hadn’t worn that dress and this post was written, so there’s that.
Neither would I. But yes, this dress is an example of what NOT to wear at the bridal party. Nope, nada, zip, and absolutely not. Reminds me of someone else…….
The only issue I have is that its got an optical illusion vibe and is really and truly giving me a headache staring at it. Migraine sufferers beware.
I see she’s starting to get the Kardashian special at the plastic surgeon. Never would’ve known it was her.
Which is such a shame because she was so much prettier with her original face. It was so youthful and normal, and now she looks like an overworked clone of her 40-60 something year old sisters and mom.
YES
That was going to be my reply, one word -Yes.
Yes, it’s inappropriate, because it ensures that all attention is on her.
This. Also she was a bridesmaid so she wore another dress to the ceremony then changed into that. I just think it is so so tacky and rude to call attention to yourself like that at your friends wedding.
Also it doesn’t mean much to me that her friend allegedly ok’ed the outfit. What was she going to say?? Maybe I’m too much of a people pleaser but it would have been so painfully awkward for me to tell a friend and an adult person “no because I’m the bride so don’t upstage me.”
You just hope that your friends have a shred of decency.
The bride invited Kendall Jenner (and apparently chooses to be friends with the above referenced). So clearly the bride is cool with/enjoys this stupid drama. More power to them all.
How about the groom? It was his wedding too.
I don’t know anything about either one of them but the story is about the bride. Using the transitive property, though, I would say the groom loves this circus too if he’s marrying a woman who’s close friends/or is himself close friends with a K-Jenner.
I bet the bride approved it because she knew then her wedding would be in all the tabloids.
What is Bella Hadid wearing though? Looks like a sale dress at Charlotte Russe at the mall circa 2000.
It looks like someone vomited on a blue dress
Aww I kinda like it. I think it’s meant to be reminiscent of (and, who knows, maybe actually is) 90s Versace
I like it as well, the colors are magnificent too!
No. It also looks like the quality of something from Shein.
That third pic looks like the bride is walking to her doom.
Also all of them are going to get omicron.
I think it looks like she knows her bridesmaids are planning to tear the train off of her wedding dress.
Terrible and unintentionally funny photo.
I’m gonna say no. She stands out more than the bride. That said, I’m sure the bride doesn’t even care. I just read that the IG model who got fame by licking toilet seats on airplanes, Ava Louise, is teasing a reveal of Kendall’s boyfriend, Devin Booker, on her DM’s. Waiting for the drama.
I think it sucks that she couldn’t let her friend have the spotlight for one measly day. Being friends with a hugely well known celebrity would have its challenges and you’d constantly be playing second fiddle to them… I think the right thing to do on their wedding day would be to wear a dress that doesn’t scream for attention.
+1
Idk. Maybe the bride loved it precisely because she gets more attention due to it (both Kendall’s dress and having famous friends). The wedding was in November. It’s a new year and we’re still talking about it.
She has always had famous friends thought . The guy cudding her is the group photo is Dan Chetrit who dad owns a big chunk of Manhatten/Chicago(they are both Morrocan Jews) . They met through Miles Ritchie who it Lionels boy
And now her father in law owns 100+ Dukin Donuts and whole load of other NY retail
I’ve worn black to every wedding I’ve been too, even my own. But my tits were not out. Whatever floats her goat I guess.
Just because you Can doesnt mean you Should. And these Kardashian women are a bunch of bullies,that bride probably agreed so she doesnt face their wrath, you only have to look at them sideways once and they kick you out of their little cliques.
If the bride is OK with you wearing a skanky $5 Yandy dress to her wedding reception, she’s not your friend. She is your frenemy and she is using you to make herself look hotter.
No it’s not, she wore it to the reception.
I wore white to my best friend’s wedding. It was a Bohemian flowy tunic, skirt set. She doesn’t remember, but I cringe when I think about it. Tbf, it was end of May in hot as hell southern Texas (OUTSIDE!) and everyone was dripping in sweat. Thank God it was a small, home family wedding with few pictures. Kendall looks fine to me only because the outfit seems to fit the vibe of her group of friends. Still can’t stand her.
Same – only it was just a semi-friends’ wedding AND I asked permission before! It was very 50s – boat neck, tea length…I cringe now, but I don’t think I stole anyone’s thunder!
That dress looks really uncomfortable and awkward to wear at a party. She probably wore it just long enough for attention grabbing, money generating photos and then changed.
I hope the bride really was ok with it, and didn’t feel pressured to agree.
Personally, I think it looks kind of cheap, and all eyes go to Kendall in every photo, not the bride and groom.
We are all assuming the bride was fine but I have to wonder. Plus, how stressful to ask the bride if a dress you want to wear is appropriate for her, when she has one million things still to accomplish! If you have to ask then you shouldn’t need to ask!
I mean, as other’s have said, the bride was fine with it.
But as long as we are sharing our non asked for opinions, I find it weird to even think of ASKING the bride.
“Hey friend, I am thinking of wearing this nipple slip dress that looks more like it belongs in a bondage club than a wedding, do you mind ?”
I am not a prude, but weddings aren’t nightclubs. Presumably family was there. What a weird thing to wear in front of your friend’s dad, aunties, grandparents…
And I cannot imagine DANCING in it comfortably. Wardrobe malfunctions are nearly guaranteed.
This happened in November so Kendull really hasn’t done anything interesting except wear a skanky dress to a reception.
I don’t think it’s appropriate, not because of the skin, but because it’s the bride’s day and you don’t make it about you.
Years ago, I, who grew up in the South with punch & cake weddings in church basements, attended a wedding in New Jersey. The crowd was much less rarified than that of this wedding, I’m sure. After worrying a little about showing cleavage, I was stunned to see a wedding guest in a backless black dress with her thong on full display above the cutout back. No one batted an eye. (To be fair, the bride’s mother wore a skintight gold lame dress & a giant teased side ponytail.)
I learned that day that expectations for weddings can vary quite a bit.
I cannot think of many situations outside of a photo shoot where that dress is appropriate. But it’s a different world and people live for clicks and views.
It’s in poor taste, but Kardashians aren’t really known for good taste.
It’s ugly but if the bride is ok, it’s ok.
What did Bella do to her face…
This dress is 100% tacky for ANY occasion.
I wouldn’t have worn it but if the bride okay’d it then…It does seem as though these Kar-Jenner girls are getting meaner and more selfish.
Does the dress itself look good? No. But since the bride okayed it, it’s fine. The fact that Kendall got the bride’s permission first also shows respect and good manners. The coolest thing about this story is how quickly the friend shut down any validity to the pearl-clutching hiss train and was like “nope, I approved it.”
There’s an assumption that all women are deeply obsessive about other women looking too pretty or too hot at their wedding, or otherwise disrupting their Cinderella pageant moment with a happy announcement (like Meghan Markle’s pregnancy). But sometimes women are a little bit less competitive than that, and have other priorities when it comes to their weddings. I think Kendall’s dress only outshined the bride with the public, because the public doesn’t know the bride as much. For people actually at the wedding who knew the bride and groom, it probably didn’t, because they were focused on how their little girl, niece, cousin, etc. was married.
I agree with you, the bride and groom are always the center of the wedding, that’s the point! They never get overshadowed as all guests are interested in them.
i’m always fascinated by the power dynamics and unspoken rules around weddings
the idea that the bride MUST NOT BE UPSTAGED and that dressing or looking too sexy/attractive somehow detracts from her day is so interesting and i feel like it’s begging to be unpacked critically
way back I attended a wedding where the bride wore a very muted, non-bridal gown, and encouraged her bridesmaids to wear whatever made them feel most beautiful with no restrictions or vetting, which resulted in some very dramatic, colourful and revealing choices.
the bride wasn’t interested in controlling her friends and didn’t care if they “upstaged” her, and it made me reexamine my own relationship to other womens’ beauty, sexuality and self-expression.
when i got married i followed her example and seven years later my girlfriends still talk about how beautiful and comfortable they felt that day
All of this. That’s awesome!
This would be a great submission to AITA on Reddit.
I’m inclined to say YTA even though she had the bride’s approval just because you’re not supposed to take attention away from the bride and groom and the only purpose of that outfit is to get everyone’s attention. Its purpose is certainly not to cover anything up.
I’m in two minds: I think that as long as the bride is ok, it should be fine. Then I also think that everyone should wear whatever they want, the bride is not a dictator and she shouldn’t have a say in the guest’s attaires.
It’s a Kardashian adjacent wedding. I suspect the bride is happy Kendall wore that dress because now people are talking about her, even by association.
I had a thought, maybe she was confused and that is really the BACK of the dress.
If she got the approval, guess it’s fine. The dress is hideous tho
The KardashianJenners are always inappropriate, let’s not try to get deep about this.
If the bride was okay, then I guess it was okay.
It was still a butt ugly dress though.
I was at my nephew’s wedding, and his step-brother (from previous to my sister’s marriage so not my nephew) and wife wore jeans with dressier shirts. It didn’t even register with me at the time (well we are in Texas) but I heard the bride and groom were livid at what they thought was a disrespectful act. So I guess the point I’m making is the difference is the asking ahead of time if something like that is okay. As this couple didn’t I guess the bride and groom was were right in thinking it was meant to be disrespectful.
For some reason she’s the one I can’t stand the most out of all of them. Untalented. Annoying. Has has everything handed to her. Brat. Whiny. “Model”
I think if a genuine friend asked me if I liked what they picked to wear to my wedding I’d be like “of course you can wear whatever you want!” So I feel bad for the bride. The optical illusion nature of the dress puts Kendall at the center of every photo. It seems mean spirited.
I mean, you kind of know what you’re getting with the Kardashian/Jenners, right? I’m not saying the bride deserved to get her thunder stolen, but you don’t involve the thirstiest family in pop culture in your special day without expecting them to be thirsty. The bride seems to be enjoying the adjacent attention.
That’s exactly my thought. They’re not classy people, they’re always going to go for the most attention-grabbing choice.
So tacky, looks like something from an old-time Frederick’s of Hollywood catalog…
Normal wedding: absolutely inappropriate
Hollywood/Instagram wedding: Eh 🤷♀️ I doubt anyone was surprised by her outfit
This is the most attention Kendall’s gotten in months and I’m sure that was the plan
There was the thing last week about her and her BF if they were married/engaged
Tacky & gross, exactly what I would expect from her.
Alexandria, soon we will all never ask the question, “What did she do to her face?” because a constantly morphing face will become the norm (it already has with the moneyed). For example, I just saw a pic of Kendall with a whole new face–with prominent cat eyes. I didn’t even ask. I know.
That’s such a “look at me, not her”thing to wear to someone’s wedding, but if the Bride can roll with it, it’s all good.
My biggest issue with the “dress” is that it absolutely cost more than my housing for the month, which is more than half my income. But have fun at the wedding, I guess!
I wouldn’t wear that dress to a wedding because its ugly as sin.
The bride does not want to be upstaged. Just look at her hair…and all her bridesmaids’ hair. Dreadful!!!! The uniform, center-part flowing locks makes this wedding party look like some trashy cult. If she wanted to stand out, pull her hair up or wear a veil or tiara. Even Kendull’s body language and expression in that first pic centers herself as the life of the party…I honestly couldn’t even tell that was a pic from a wedding, let alone the fact that there’s a bride sandwiched in the middle.
She did have a veil that covered her upper body but is a Jewish wedding and they have to remove it . She changed as well as they were getting henna tats
My friend had to photoshop her SIL’s cleavage out of all their formal wedding pictures. And that was nothing compared to this! How does Kendall’s dress even stay on?
I think she looks tacky. I think the only thing that would annoy me is the fact that it’s a wedding and I would hope my guests wouldn’t dress like it’s a night out clubbing.
Huge eye roll. She wanted people talking about her and used her friend’s wedding. Normal Kardashian shame.
I can’t actually stop staring at her upper lip, it’s to fake, she didn’t need it that.
Meh, at this point I think if you invite a Kardashian to your wedding and there are cameras around, this might happen. Now if she had shown up in a floor length white gown…
Tacky, tacky, tacky and selfish. Never upstage the bride.
A lot of people are saying “Well if the bride is ok with it.” What is she supposed to say?? I am sure the bride is not happy with it, as Kendall really did upstage her. It is super tacky and not very nice. As far Bella goes, I like her dress and thinks she looks beautiful.
I think we’re saying it because hey, she knows the devil she’s dealing with, she knew what she was getting.
As a bisexual woman, I would be over the moon if Kendall jenner turned up to my wedding wearing this. A few of my friends are still in good enough shape to pull something like this off, so more power to them if they wanted to (not their style though). Frankly if I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin and with my husband, I wouldn’t be getting married in tbe first place. Maybe some women feel like it’s ‘their day,’ but having 50 plus people’s attention on me sounds like a nightmare.
Personally, I don’t like it – to wear myself that is.
If it’s on someone else and it’s my rehearsal – I guess it depends on the friend.
I have one family member I could see wearing it, it’s kind of her style, but if it was on someone else with a different style in general, I would be like, “what the heck?”.
Our wedding was black tie, but I have a dear friend who is a bit alternative/eccentric and he said he didn’t have a tuxedo, so I told him to just come as himself and be creative. So he came in a grey jacket, with grey shorts, and a huge colorful bowtie he made himself, and sneakers. He looked so great. I loved it.
Isn’t she a lesbian btw?
Why I say this is because I can see how she is dressing like this just for fun, and not to make all the guys drool after her.
This is the woman who people have been saying she has been sleeping with for years
None of the guests brought a date the all went as a big crew with their mates . Hailey did not bring Justin,Bella did not bring her guy ,Kendall did not bring DBook and Jesse Jo did not bring Yungblud
Even if the bride said it was ok…this means Kendall knew it wasn’t something considered appropriate for a wedding reception. She had to get “permission” to wear it. Like, come on Kendall, if you have to ask, then you should know it’s probably not ok. It looks cheap and tacky. Of all the dresses she could have worn…this family LOVES attention.
I can’t think of a single occasion that it *would* be appropriate for. It’s vile.
If you have to ASK the bride , you already know that shit is inappropriate. And to then pretend the bride was ok with it …. No, she just wasn’t assertive enough to tell you to stay home .
It’s tacky. The design is unflattering on a good day, but it’s also designed to get attention. That’s fine at a club or a party where you can be the center of attention. It’s less so when it’s another couple’s big day. Even if she cleared it with the bride, like…it’s tacky to even ask that, right? The fact that you have to ask means you know it’s inappropriate.
Is it on backwards?
Totally inappropriate dress for any occasion and, while the bride was okay with it, I wonder what her parents and grandparents thought, not to mention the groom’s parents and grandparents.
Everything about this family is vulgar… And low class. My two cents.
agreed
It’s funny that people assume the bride just must have secretly been offended, but wasn’t assertive enough to say no when asked directly. I’ll take her at her word for it. Judging by her inner circle, it’s not hard to believe she’s not the kind of woman who has very strong negative opinions about that kind of thing anyway. She may have even been in on the attention it would get. As for parents/grandparents- not their event, not their dress code. Harry Styles or Lil Nas X probably would have worn the hell out of this though, and actually made it more interesting.
If she felt the need to ask the bride for approval before wearing it, that means she knew it was sketchy and inappropriate before hand.
I’m trying to think of an occasion this dress is actually appropriate for. I can only think of the bedroom and a sex video shoot. Wearing appropriate clothes is also a sign of good behavior. Gen Z never heard of this concept it seems. The amount of thorax bones visible in those pics is worrisome as well.
Ted Bundy wore suits. That female doctor from a few years ago who got exposed for performing female genital mutilation procedures was a very classy looking, modestly dressed woman. Modesty or lack thereof really doesn’t tell us anything about whether or not a person is truly good, decent, or bad, or what behaviors they’re actually up to.
I mean, it’s not something I’d wear to a wedding reception – even if I had the body for it lol. But invite a Kardashian/Jenner, get a Kardashian/Jenner.
