Kylie Jenner made a bold statement at the 2026 Met Gala on Monday night by bleaching her eyebrows, a look that divided her fanbase. The 28-year-old cosmetics mogul, known for her signature thick, dark brows, opted for a nearly invisible brow to complement her daring flesh-toned Schiaparelli gown, which featured a bodice with molded nipple details.
Sharing highlights from the evening on Instagram, Jenner captioned a post: "Hold my brows, babe. I'm walking the Met." The post quickly drew thousands of comments, with many fans expressing disapproval of the bleached brows. One follower wrote, "Love it. Other than the blonde eyebrows," while another admitted, "I don't like this look, to be honest," adding that her sister Kendall Jenner appeared "more elegant." A third fan commented, "Perfection, but I love your eyebrows as is." A critical user summed up: "The makeup could be better," though they still called the star "stunning."
In an Instagram Stories video, Jenner revealed the aftermath of bleaching, showing one brow lightened and the other still dark. Laughing, she said, "My brows are ruined. What is this? What the f**k is this? This looks horrible." She later reassured fans with a follow-up post declaring, "The brows survived!!!"
Jenner attended the gala solo, turning heads on the red carpet and stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her Schiaparelli gown, designed to evoke a woman undressing, featured a half-undone ivory skirt. The embellished creation required 11,000 hours of embroidery, incorporating 2,000 satin stitch balls, 10,000 natural baroque pearls, and over 7,000 painted pearlescent fish scales. She styled her long, dark hair in a deep side part with soft waves cascading down her back and over one shoulder.
The former "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star expressed gratitude online, saying, "I can't believe I got to wear this perfect perfect dress," while thanking her "dream" glam team for bringing the look to life.
