Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Bring '90s Date Night Dressing to Paris Fashion Week
They looked straight out of 'Sex and the City.'
Rumor has it, Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi began dating in April 2026, meaning they just missed the chance to make their relationship Fashion Month Official. Now, the celebrity couple is making up for lost street style looks. Following the Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2027 show, where Jenner closed the collection and Elordi applauded adoringly from the front row, their romantic dinners migrated from Milan to Paris Fashion Week. On September 29, after Jenner walked the runway at the L'Oréal Paris Le Défilé 2026: Express Your Worth event, the supermodel and Elordi delivered a master class in '90s-inspired date night dressing.
First, Jenner set the casually cool tone in a little gray dress that Carrie Bradshaw would've worn during a rendezvous with Mr. Big. It featured three-quarter-length sleeves, a subtle wrap-style V-neck, and a thigh-grazing hemline.
Turns out, the mini dress is from that era, too. It debuted on Miu Miu's Fall 1997 runway, the year before the HBO show aired, beneath a semi-sheer black shawl. Her stylist, Dani Michelle, scored the 29-year-old vintage design from Cheree Cheree, a secondhand London-based boutique whose celebrity client list also includes Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, and Zoë Kravitz. This dress marks the second Cheree Cheree pull of the month: Jenner wore an anti-"no white after Labor Day" look from the store for the 2026 Venice Film Festival earlier in September.
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi were all smiles, wearing '90s-inspired date night looks in Paris.
Beyond the Miu Miu find, Jenner committed to the minimalist bit even more, slipping on The Row's Liisa Wedge Pumps, the same hybrid shoe she styled on a previous public date with Elordi. (That's right, there are itty-bitty wedges behind the pointy uppers.) After dinner, Jenner brought a metallic gold, seashell-shaped clutch and a timeless trench coat out of hiding. It was the perfect "I'm not a French girl, but I want to be" disguise. It also called back to the belted funnel-neck style the A-lister wore over jeans and The Row's Liisa Pumps in March 2025.
Now, as for the Frankenstein actor's latest look, he kept it classic in a white button-down, black trousers, and the Jenner-supported soft loafers trend. His only accessories (a baseball cap he held in his hands, a slim gold-buckle belt, sunglasses, and a watch) ensured the fashion focus went to his fashion girlfriend.
After dinner, Jenner added a trench coat and clutch to her date-night look.
Slowly but surely, Jenner and Elordi are syncing their personal styles. Last month, the couple tested the color-blocking trend with Jenner in a cobalt blue button-down and Elordi in a forest green windbreaker. Last week in Milan, they shared the same taste in cool-toned neutral trousers. Elordi, Bottega Veneta's global brand ambassador, may even have influenced Jenner to add more It bags from the Italian label to her accessories collection.
All this to say? Right now, Jenner and Elordi are influencing couples on both sides of the Atlantic to follow their lead. Here's hoping they have more date nights planned in between Paris Fashion Week fêtes. Elordi needs to board the French-boy bandwagon, too, perhaps with a trench coat of his own.
