Nowadays, celebrities hide from the paparazzi in a baseball cap, sunglasses, and even a Covid-era face mask. Today in Paris, Kendall Jenner took a page from Old Hollywood for her incognito look.
While it’s no secret that Jenner loves a fabulous fashion moment, the model always brings a little extra oomph to her Paris trips. Today, she left the Schiaparelli store wearing a classic gray gabardine double-breasted trench coat by The Row with matching cropped trousers poking out from underneath the hem. She upped the ante with a pair of brown-lensed sunglasses and a chocolate brown headscarf, tied under her chin like a babushka. She finished off the outfit with a brown tote bag, a pair of sleek black loafers and white socks scrunched around her ankles.
Jenner has long looked to the past for fashion and beauty inspiration, from Audrey Hepburn to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. With this look, though, Jenner is probably not channelling one specific person, but an era—the late 1950s through early 1960s. Sophia Loren wore the headscarf-trench combo in The Key in 1958, while Brigitte Bardot did it in Babette Goes to War in 1959, and Hepburn in Charade in 1966.
While this look probably draws more attention than it does repel, we could all stand to bring a little glamour back to off-duty style. Celebrities, take note from Kendall Jenner: this is how you do a pap walk.
