The Kendall Jenner Wedding Dress Controversy Explained

In November, 2021 Instagram influencer Lauren Perez had a star-studded beach wedding with A-list celebrities attending from Hailey Bieber to Bella Hadid (via Elle). Perez's close friend Kendall Jenner also attended, and her dress essentially stole the thunder of the entire event. Countless snaps were shared from the celebration, many of which featured Jenner in a Mônot SS22 sleek black dress with slits all along its torso creating an essentially entirely bare midriff, as per Elle. Twitter instantly went into a frenzy, with people accusing Jenner of being inappropriate by wearing such an excessively revealing dress and claiming that it was "in bad taste," while others were quick to defend Jenner and simply noting how stunning she looked in it (via USA Today).

While most people weren't impressed by her choice of dress as a wedding guest, the bride herself was quick to come to Jenner's defense. Perez clapped back at a hater calling Jenner out by saying, "SHE LOOKED STUNNING AND I LOVED IT." To which Jenner finally commented on the whole saga by replying to Perez with, "Obvi asked for your approval in advance too, we love a beach wedding" (via People). Clearly the besties aren't as phased as the internet seems to be over the outfit choice.
