Kylie Jenner and Charli XCX stripped down to bikinis and white waffle-knit bathrobes for a behind-the-scenes snap from their upcoming A24 mockumentary “The Moment,” which Jenner shared to Instagram on Thursday.
The reality star, 28, wore the same black latex bikini she’s seen wearing in the film’s trailer, which dropped last month.
The “365” singer, 33, meanwhile, wore a skimpy set and dark sunglasses as the pair posed together with a film slate bearing the movie’s title and an April shoot date.
“The Moment” premieres at the Sundance Film Festival later this month before hitting theaters nationwide Jan. 30.
It’s Jenner’s acting debut — and she recently revealed on sister Khloé Kardashian’s “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast just how terrified she was to take on the role.
“Oh my god. For the Charli movie coming out, I was — Khloé, I was so scared for days to actually do it,” the Kylie Cosmetics founder said. “I had a very small part. I mean, I had a lot of lines, but I was just so afraid.”
Jenner explained that years of public scrutiny have made her more hesitant to step outside her comfort zone.
“I think I used to do a lot more things out of my comfort zone, and now I’m used to being very sheltered, staying in like a, you know, safe box for me,” she admitted. “It’s probably the reason why I don’t share as much, just to not be judged or criticized or — years of that takes a toll on you and I think at a certain point you’re like, ‘Okay, I’m going to do A, B, and C to just protect myself.’”
When nerves got the better of her, she turned to sister Kim Kardashian — who’s been making her own foray into acting with roles in “All’s Fair,” “American Horror Story,” and other projects — for encouragement.
“I actually called Kim and I was just like, ‘I know you’re like in your acting bag right now and I just need a little encouragement and some advice,’” Jenner recalled. “And I read the lines to her like how I would say it, and she was like, ‘You’re saying it perfect. You got this. This is so easy.’”
The pep talk clearly worked. “I was very scared to do this and very proud of myself when I did it,” Jenner added.
In the mockumentary, Jenner plays herself and appears to offer some pointed advice to Charli’s character. “The second people are getting sick of you,” she tells the pop star in the trailer, “that’s when you need to go even harder.”
“The Moment” follows a fictional version of the “Brat” singer as she navigates newfound fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut.
The behind-the-scenes snap isn’t Jenner’s only recent latex moment. The mom of two channeled Britney Spears in a red latex catsuit for her Kylie Cosmetics fragrance campaign earlier this week, and she and Kim also both wore holiday-ready red latex looks in December.
Jenner also reprised her 2016 King Kylie era in a pink wig and matching pastel latex dress at an October anniversary party for her cosmetics brand.
