Kylie Jenner shocked Met Gala fans and attendees on Monday with what might be her most bizarre outfit to date.
The 28-year-old Kardashians star scandalized her fans when she wore a flesh-colored Schiaparelli gown featuring a bodysuit with what appeared to be fake nipple imprints.
She left little to the imagination with the head-scratching outfit, which emphasized her shockingly slim waist.
Jenner added an extra confrontational touch by seemingly bleaching her eyebrows before she strutted down the iconic red carpet in New York City, while her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet was nowhere to be seen.
Jenner's ensemble featured a flesh-colored bodysuit - possibly inspired by her sister Kim Kardashian's Skims line - that reached up to highlight her prominent cleavage.
The bodysuit was cinched at the back like a corset, and bunched up around Jenner's hips was what would have been an elegant cream-colored satin gown decorated with pale pink and lavender beads and embroidery.

Jenner's boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, was nowhere to be seen.
The dress also laced up the back, but it was left undone and bunched up at Jenner's hips, as if she had struggled to fit into it and had simply given up halfway through.
Jenner paired her gown with a set of lustrous beige heels with pointy toes, and she required two attendants behind her to hold her train aloft.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, also known as the Met Gala, falls on the first Monday in May every year.
The theme of this year's event - widely considered the Super Bowl of celebrity red carpets - is 'Costume Art', while the dress code is 'Fashion Is Art.'
The dress code calls on the A-list attendees to explore how designers use the human body as a blank canvas.
Leading the charge is a powerhouse trio of co-chairs, with Beyonce, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams joining forces with Vogue's global editorial director Anna Wintour to oversee fashion's biggest night.
It's the first time tennis superstar Williams has co-chaired the gala. Kidman previously co-chaired the star-studded event in 2003 as well as 2005, and Beyoncé was an honorary chair in 2013.
The New York City museum will pair historical and contemporary garments from the Costume Institute for the exhibition, which will be loosely divided into three categories, including the classical and the nude body, aging and pregnant bodies, and the anatomical body.

The exhibit - set to unveil the Met's sprawling new Conde M. Nast Galleries - has been made possible by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez, who are the lead sponsors and honorary co-chairs.
'The title "Costume Art" refers to the history of the costume institute,' Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute's curator, said at a press conference.
Bolton, who selects the theme, said fashion has 'the status of art because of, and not in spite of, its relation to the body.'
French luxury fashion house Yves Saint Laurent is also sponsoring the exhibit.
The 2026 Met Gala will also have a host committee that includes committee co-chairs Anthony Vaccarello and Zoe Kravitz, along with members Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Angela Bassett, Gwendoline Christie, Misty Copeland, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Sam Smith, Teyana Taylor and more.
Costume Art will run from May 10, 2026 through January 10, 2027, following the Met Gala on May 4.
The Met Gala is a huge money-maker for the museum, and provides the Costume Institute with its main source of funding.
The 2026 Met Gala marks a major moment because it's the first one since Wintour technically stepped back from one of her famed roles at Vogue.

Anna Wintour has reigned supreme as the chairwoman of the Costume Institute benefit for over 30 years; Wintour seen at the 2025 Met Gala.
In June 2025, Wintour announced she was stepping down as the editor-in-chief of American Vogue after 37 years.
The global director for Vogue and global chief content officer at Conde Nast hired Chloe Malle as the new head of editorial content at Vogue.
Wintour has famously been incredibly hands-on with the Met Gala over the years, and is credited with making it the splashy A-list affair it has become, beloved by celebrities like Rihanna, the Kardashians, Blake Lively, Zendaya and more.
Last year, many stars did not attend the Met Gala, and some people thought it was to avoid making a faux pas because of the theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which was centered around the political and aesthetic constructs of Black dandyism.
