Pop sensation and actress Jennie Kim may have already notched several achievements on the Hollywood must-do list (like attending the Met Gala, walking the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, and becoming an ambassador for Chanel and Calvin Klein), but one thing that she hadn’t yet checked off? Her runway debut. That changed today.
On Sunday afternoon ahead of Jacquemus’s 15th-anniversary show in Capri, buddies Simon Porte Jacquemus and Kim teased that there was something more coming than Kim just sitting front row at his show, as she usually does. Style Not Com posted that Kim was spotted at rehearsals for the show at Casa Malaparte with other models. Then Jacquemus took to his own Instagram to share a carousel of photos and videos of the singer with the caption “24 hours before the show…15 years of Jacquemus,” alongside a sneak peek at some of the pieces from the collection including a Capri blue dress. Quickly the post amassed over 300,000 likes and 5,000-plus comments.
When the show’s live stream kicked off today, and she wasn’t in the front row, fans really started wondering if she’d walk. And there she was: closing out the show not in the sheer gown that was posted by Jacquemus, but a simple and elegant LBD accented with funky accessories like a pair of zebra-printed mules and a very Mediterranean-inspired Capri blue clutch. She was joined in the show by her friend, the model Hyunji Shin. During the finale, Jacquemus embraced the singer before taking his bow in front of his guests.
