Given the trauma of last year’s ceremony – when she endured sub-zero temperatures that forced celebrities into red-carpet puffers, a Take That performance of “Greatest Day”, and presenter David Tennant comparing her to a lookalike – you might reasonably have assumed Kylie Jenner would chalk the BAFTAs up to a bad dream and move on. And yet: here she is again, returning to the scene of the crime, in a Mugler spring/summer 1999 number, to support Timothée Chalamet’s bid for best actor. (She must really like him.)

Since her inaugural awards-season appearance at the 2024 Golden Globes, Jenner has developed a red-carpet presence as relentless as any studio campaign. At the 2025 Globes, she took her place beside Chalamet and his A Complete Unknown co-stars in a vintage Versace chainmail dress that prompted instant comparisons to Elizabeth Hurley posing alongside Hugh Grant at the Four Weddings and a Funeral premiere in 1994. Then came a glittering Balenciaga pre-fall 2024 gown for the 2025 Berlinale; a custom Miu Miu body-con encrusted with black-caviar beads for the 2025 Oscars; and spaghetti-strapped Schiaparelli for the couple’s red-carpet debut at the 2025 David di Donatello Awards.
