Kendall Jenner stepped out in New York City during New York Fashion Week on Saturday evening in a tightly fitted, low-cut midi dress and glasses, projecting an "office-siren" aesthetic just days after telling Vogue she is eyeing a shift into designing houses.
The 29-year-old model and reality television star wore a light-gray plaid bodycon dress with a low neckline, oval-shaped frames and a small black clutch. She completed the look with black patent-leather pumps with high heels and a slicked-back bun, and was later photographed leaving Brasserie Fouquet's in downtown Tribeca with a glass of red wine.
Earlier in the day Jenner was seen in a contrasting day look while out in Manhattan, pairing a black sleeveless top with a high V-neck and a double-layered cream silk midi skirt. That outfit was styled with thin flip-flop sandals and a woven leather tote, a more casual-chic counterpart to her evening ensemble.
Jenner, who has worked at the top of the modeling industry for more than a decade, discussed expanding her professional focus in a recent Vogue feature alongside fellow model Gigi Hadid, saying she is interested in designing houses. The comment follows a career built on runway work, high-profile campaigns and a long-running presence on the reality program The Kardashians.
Photographers captured Jenner on city streets during the busy schedule of shows and parties that accompany New York Fashion Week. The evening appearance resumed the trend of models and celebrities mixing tailored, workplace-inspired silhouettes with overtly glamorous styling at fashion-week events.
Representatives for Jenner did not immediately respond to a request for comment on her plans to pursue design. The Vogue profile remains the clearest public indication of the model's stated interest in branching into residential design, a move that would follow several other fashion and business ventures by members of her family and peers in the industry.
The sightings on Saturday mark one of several high-visibility outings for Jenner during the fashion week calendar, where public appearances often coincide with media interviews and promotional activity. Observers noted the juxtaposition of the evening's formal, structured look with the softer, daytime silk and sandal combination earlier in the day, underscoring a rapid shift in styling that has become common among fashion-week attendees.
