To show off the timeless, old Hollywood look, Jenner posed near a large open window in a nondescript building in Italy, where she is currently vacationing.

    "When in Italy," Jenner captioned the Instagram post, which featuring a series of photos showing Jenner in various poses, including poses with her hair both up and down to better accentuate the backless feature of her quintessential little black dress.

    "Quick change for dinner," Jenner captioned the second post, while also highlighting a few of her makeup products.

    "Wearing ‘cappuccino’ lip liner & ‘love that 4 u’ tinted butter balm @kyliecosmetics," Jenner explained, because you don't become one of the most successful makeup moguls on the planet without some well-timed self-promotion.

    Jenner has been leaning into various 2024 summer trends lately, including the throwback trend of reviving old but timeless looks. Not only did she recently elevate the simple black dress by going backless, she was also spotted reviving the little white dress during a recent girls' night out.

    On June 8, while celebrating BFF Anastasia Karanikolaou's birthday, Jenner wore a form-fitting miniature white dress by Defaïence, featuring ruching details and an asymmetrical cut.

    She completed her night-out look with a pair of yellow, open-toed strappy sandals and a knee-high black leather jacket.
