Kendall Jenner is embracing her inner feline.
The model jetted over to New York City for an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday night, wearing a sequin-covered sheath dress from Chanel’s Métiers d’Art show.
The orange and black dress was designed to look like a Bengal tiger, with a sparkling paillette neckline and hem. She accessorized with classic black patent leather Chanel slingbacks.
Jenner’s shoulder-length brown hair was parted in the middle, a little bit of sparkle poking out from each ear.
The look was first shown on the runway in a New York City subway station in December, marking creative director Matthieu Blazy’s second collection for the house.
The sparkling texture of Jenner’s tiger-emblazoned dress was emblematic of Chanel’s new look as a whole, rife with tweeds, sequins, hand-embroidered detail and beading.
While on Fallon’s show, the model chatted about wearing the iconic sequin bustier look from “Moulin Rouge,” chosen for her for this fall’s Vogue World, calling it “such a dream come true.”
The model revealed that the dress was not the original but rather a dupe. “The woman who made the original made this one for me, so it was a perfect replica, and it was so cool.”
“I didn’t get to see Nicole in it but honestly,” she added, “probably for the better because I would have been like ‘I am so sorry, I should not be wearing this, you did it so much better.’”
What’s more, Jenner is now the proud owner of the piece of movie history, sharing, “And for my 30th… Vogue let me keep it as a birthday present. So, it’s in my archive.”
The model, who is currently proving the “Kardashian Curse” wrong in a new Super Bowl commercial that pokes fun at her family’s alleged dating curse, officially made the New England Patriots her pick for the big game.
