While Kylie Jenner frequently associates with high-profile celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Rosalia, her genuine inner circle presents a markedly different picture. On Thursday evening, the 28-year-old cosmetics mogul made a rare public appearance partying with her longstanding friends from her childhood neighborhood in Calabasas, California.
A Loyal Crew from Calabasas
The gathering was not merely a casual get-together but a significant event supporting one of Jenner's close companions. The soirée was the Nahmias x Maxfield Host Pop Up, held at the Maxfield store in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. This exclusive event highlighted Jenner's dedication to her roots and her commitment to uplifting her friends' ventures.
The Attendees
Jenner's crew included model Anastasia Karanikolaou, widely known as Stassie Baby, alongside Zack Ashley, Victoria Villarroel—a personal assistant turned Instagram influencer—and Doni Nahmias. Nahmias is the founder and creative director of the luxury menswear brand NAHMIAS, which launched in 2018 and is based in Los Angeles. This group represents Jenner's authentic social network, distinct from her more public celebrity associations.
Jenner's Casual Yet Chic Appearance
For the occasion, Jenner opted for a more relaxed ensemble than her typical glamorous looks. She wore a black leather jacket featuring a silver star on the zipper, paired with blue denim jeans and slender black sunglasses. Her hair was slicked back, completing the effortlessly cool aesthetic. The reality television star shared a selfie on her Instagram Stories, showcasing her intense eye makeup, which mirrored the similar looks sported by her friends Karanikolaou and Villarroel.
Decade-Long Friendships
Jenner, Karanikolaou, and Villarroel have maintained their friendship for over ten years, frequently vacationing together in destinations like Mexico and the Caribbean. Their bond extends beyond personal outings; they actively support each other's professional endeavors, promoting brands and tagging one another on social media to build a powerful and influential network.
Notable Absence
Absent from the event was Jenner's boyfriend of three years, actor Timothee Chalamet. Chalamet has been engrossed in the awards circuit, campaigning for an Academy Award for his performance in Marty Supreme. The Oscars are scheduled for March 15 in Los Angeles, keeping him occupied with industry commitments.
Recent Professional Highlights
This appearance follows Jenner's recent brunette transformation, highlighted in new images she shared on Instagram just a day prior. The television personality modeled brown, white, and nude-toned bra and underwear sets from the blockbuster brand SKIMS, designed by her half-sister Kim Kardashian. Photographed by renowned fashion photographer Mert Alas, Jenner showcased a remarkably toned physique with a tiny waistline, defined abs, sculpted arms, and lean legs.
Her caption, 'Me for @skims everyday cotton <3,' accompanied the stunning shots, with SKIMS announcing the launch of their next-generation collection on February 17. Fans and celebrities alike, including Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian, supermodel Candice Swanepoel, and reality star Gia Giudice, praised the images, with comments lauding Jenner as 'hotter than ever, the queen.'
Venturing into Film
Beyond fashion and beauty, Jenner is expanding her horizons into the film industry. She is starring in a new mockumentary titled The Moment alongside singer Charli XCX. The 33-year-old musician expressed her enjoyment of working with Jenner, noting during a Q&A in Brooklyn that shooting scenes with the makeup mogul was a highlight. The film features cameos from various stars, including Rachel Sennott, with Charli describing the experience as 'pretty cool' to bookend the shoot with such legendary figures playing themselves.
