Kendall Jenner was photographed arriving at Bar Pitti in New York City on Thursday, flashing her midriff in a cropped white T-shirt and bright red cardigan days after appearing on the cover of Vogue with her friend Gigi Hadid and hinting at a career shift toward home design.
The 29-year-old model walked into the celebrity-frequented restaurant with an entourage, wearing low-rise black trousers and black flip-flop sandals, and was seen wearing glasses and minimal makeup. The sighting came shortly after a joint Vogue interview and photo spread in which Jenner discussed plans to pursue designing houses and described a desire for a simpler daily life.
In the Vogue conversation, Jenner said, "I swear to God, I'm going to stop everything and just design homes. I'm not kidding." Gigi Hadid, who joined Jenner for the cover and interview, said Jenner is "one of the only people" she would allow to decorate her home. Jenner told the magazine she is building a house out West and enjoys a freer routine in Los Angeles, where she said she often dresses casually and goes without makeup.
Jenner, who co-owns 818 Tequila, also told Vogue she values privacy and normalcy. She recounted traveling with Hadid to visit Hadid's family in the Netherlands and attending the Efteling theme park in disguise with masks. She described competing at horse shows under an assumed name while wearing standard riding attire and a helmet, saying such anonymity allows her to participate without celebrity scrutiny.
The comments echo earlier on-camera moments in which Jenner discussed an interest in interiors. Last Christmas she gave Architectural Digest a filmed tour of her Los Angeles home, describing it as "cozy" and showing furnishings including a mustard-colored corduroy couch, a real wood fireplace and a cream-and-brown gingham tablecloth. She said she worked with event designer Jeff Leatham on seasonal decorations and aimed for wreaths and greenery that looked "as organic as possible." The AD tour garnered positive comments on social media about her lived-in aesthetic.
In addition to plans for home design, Jenner has recently addressed persistent questions about the appearance of her lips. In a separate conversation she credited a commercial lip-plumping product rather than injectable fillers, naming L'Oreal's Plump Ambition Hyaluron Lip Oil. The product, which she said she uses in place of fillers, contains hyaluronic acid and tripeptides and is sold in multiple shades.
Jenner has maintained for years that she does not use lip fillers, attributing changes in her lip appearance to makeup techniques, such as overlining, as well as topical products. The Vogue interview and recent public appearances underline a broader mix of professional pursuits and personal interests for Jenner, who has spent more than a decade in the modeling industry while expanding into business and creative projects.
Her appearance at an A-list Manhattan restaurant follows a series of public and media moments that highlight both her celebrity status and an interest in retreating from it when possible. Jenner's statements in Vogue present design as a potential next step in a career that has included runway modeling, brand partnerships and spirits ownership, and provide the clearest public indication to date that she is seriously considering a shift toward residential design.
