Fashion observers noted a striking trend with Kylie Jenner after she made her red carpet debut with her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet earlier this month — she almost exclusively wears black when supporting him at public events.
Prior to wearing a gorgeous black Schiaparelli gown at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome on May 7, she previously sported black ensembles at nearly every awards-season event that she accompanied the 29-year-old Oscar nominee to.
And now Kylie — who recently stunned in a scarlet dress — has finally revealed why she has turned to black so often amid her romance with Timothée.
The 27-year-old cosmetics mogul admitted to Harper’s Bazaar in an article published Wednesday that she opted for jet black so as not to distract from her boyfriend’s achievements.
‘Although these are the most beautiful, iconic gowns that I’ve been wearing, I think a black dress is also kind of like, not too attention grabbing in the best way,’ she explained.

‘You can never go wrong with a black dress,’ Kylie added.
Although the monochrome looks served an important function for her, she didn’t set out to wear nothing but black throughout awards season.
‘I think it just like happened that way,’ she admitted.
Prior to making her red carpet debut with Timothée in Italy, Kylie was thinking of trying out something more colorful.
‘I can’t wear another black dress,’ she recalled thinking.
‘And then of course the most perfect, gorgeous Schiaparelli black dress shows up,’ the reality star added with a laugh.
The plunging gown ended up being the perfect way to highlight her curves, and it also drew attention to her sweet PDA with Timothée.
The Dune star wrapped an arm around her and rested his hand on her midriff as she affectionately grasped his finger, and her patterned black dress created the ideal contrast to show off the hands.

Timothée tended to favor more eye-catching outfits during awards season, including a yellow leather suit that he wore to the Oscars, but he matched Kylie in Rome with a chic double-breasted black velvet suit and a matching black shirt that he wore without a tie.

In the run-up to the Oscars, she stunned in a backless vintage John Galliano gown dating from 1995 that was decorated with shimmering tear drop–shaped spangles at the BAFTA Film Awards in February.
Kylie’s black pattern doesn’t appear to have emerged until after the Golden Globes were held on January 5 of this year, as she wore a striking silver dress to that ceremony.
Her turn toward black was also a return to tradition, as it is traditionally a more conservative, formal color.
Although women attending awards shows often favor colorful ensembles to contrast men’s more conservative attire, Kylie highlighted the more formal roots of the ceremonies with her black outfits.
Her public appearances with Timothée were more limited in 2024, but she also favored a black outfit at the 2024 Golden Globes, though she wore a sheer patterned look that was far more risqué than many of her outfits this year

However, the younger sister of Kim Kardashian has also shown that she’s willing to stand out when the spotlights aren’t as glaring.
When she appeared with Timothée at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, California, in March, Kylie stood out in a tied-off cropped red blouse covered in white stripes, which stood out against her love’s white track suit.
