The mushroom motif represents a thoughtful artistic collaboration with new Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy, showcasing Kendall's genuine connection to wellness and her personal brand of self-care.
Insiders note this isn't the first time Kendall has referenced her mushroom tea habit — she publicly shared her wellness routine with The Wall Street Journal back in 2022, making this red carpet moment a subtle but deliberate brand alignment.
The gown featured 4-carat diamond drop earrings and a 6-carat diamond ring from Tiffany & Co. This was Kendall's seventh Vanity Fair Oscar Party attendance since 2018, missing only 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19.
The Kar-Jenner sisters showed up in coordinated sequins but didn't pose together — because when you have that much star power, sometimes the individual moments shine brighter than the family portrait.
Kendall Jenner brought more than just model good looks to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026 — she brought a secret message stitched into her couture. The 30-year-old supermodel slipped into a baby blue Chanel corset gown from the brand's latest collection, but this wasn't just any red carpet look. The dress, designed by new creative director Matthieu Blazy, featured a whimsical mushroom motif throughout, with gradient sun sequins and multiple layers of fabric in shades of blue and white depicting the whimsical fungi.
The painterly hidden message was no accident — it was a subtle nod to Jenner's well-documented love of wellness. In 2022, the model publicly shared her affinity for mushroom tea as part of her self-care routine with The Wall Street Journal, cementing her status as one of Hollywood's most wellness-observed celebrities. The mushroom heels in the collection were present on the runway, though it's unclear which shoes Jenner herself selected for her red carpet moment. Either way, the reference was intentional — a quiet but unmistakable callback to her personal brand of holistic living.
Jenner accessorized with Tiffany & Co. for the occasion, wearing a pair of stunning 4-carat diamond drop earrings and coordinating 6-carat diamond ring, both set in platinum. The look was ethereal, elevated, and distinctly Kendall — a model who has mastered the art of making even the most elaborate couture feel approachable. She was joined at the bash by sisters Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian, all three opting for sequined dresses for the evening, though they notably did not pose together on the carpet.
This year's VF Oscar Party carry particular significance for the Jenner-Kardashian clan — Kylie Jenner is gracing the glossy's cover this month, making it a family affair in more ways than one. For Kendall, it's her seventh time at the iconic event, having attended every year since 2018 with the exception of 2020 and 2021 (the latter of which didn't happen due to COVID-19). From her daring sheer Maison Margiela corset in 2024 to her thigh-high slit Rami Kadi dress in 2019, Jenner's Vanity Fair Oscar Party history is filled with memorable fashion moments — and this year's mushroom-infused Chanel look just added another chapter to that legacy.
