Kris Jenner proved that her $100,000 facelift is not slipping as she looked remarkably youthful at the 2026 Met Gala in New York City on Monday. The 70-year-old momager, who recently broke her silence on claims that she is 'mad' about the results of the cosmetic surgery 'slipping,' joined other celebrities on the red carpet, including her daughters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.
Outfit and Appearance
The television personality donned an ivory satin ensemble complemented by an outer piece featuring intricate patterns and shimmering bronze material. She slipped into a pair of open-toed heels and added dangling white earrings to accessorize her outfit. Her shorter dark locks were parted in the middle, allowing her bangs to fall straight onto her forehead. The reality star's makeup was glamorous for the special evening, featuring a layer of mascara on her lashes and a smoky shadow around her eyes. A warm blush accentuated her cheekbones, while a nude-colored glossy tint adorned her lips.
Arrival and Family Moments
Jenner made her grand arrival at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the festivities took place, and paused for a brief photo session. At one point, she crossed paths with her daughter Kim, and the pair stopped to take several memorable snapshots together. The SKIMS founder made a bold statement wearing an eye-catching sculpted bodysuit with fabric that fell behind her.
Addressing Facelift Rumors
Jenner's latest appearance comes shortly after she broke her silence on rumors that her $100,000 facelift is 'slipping.' In May of last year, a representative for the star confirmed that she had seen celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine, known as the 'facelift maestro,' according to Page Six. However, Jenner shut down speculation that she was unhappy with the results during an episode of her daughter Khloe Kardashian's podcast, Khloe In Wonderland, last month.
'Lately, it's this headline about my facelift, which is really truly driving me crazy,' she expressed. 'The headline right now is that I hate my facelift, and I'm really mad at... I'm furious at my doctor, Steven Levine, which couldn't be further from the truth.' The Kardashians star continued, 'It's a flat-out lie. I love my facelift. I adore my doctor. I'm obsessed with him.' She further discussed the surgery and results, stating, 'The goal was to do a beautiful lift and give me a refresh and do a beautiful jawline, which I achieved.'
Jenner also explained that she addressed the rumors because they were 'really hurting someone else,' referring to Dr. Levine. The reality star brushed aside negative criticism on the internet and social media. 'At 70 years old, I don't really care what someone thinks of me. I don't need anyone's approval. I love my face. And I'm really okay with the way I look.'
Previous Comments on Facelift
Late last year during an episode of The Kardashians, Jenner revealed the 'only' real thing on her face after undergoing the costly cosmetic procedure. While talking with her daughter Kim in Paris before a shopping outing, she admitted that her nose is 'probably the only thing on my face that's real.'
Jenner also reflected on her facelift during an interview with Vogue Arabia published in August 2025. 'I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh,' she explained. 'I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy.' She shared her thoughts on aging, stating, 'Just because you get older, it doesn't mean you should give up on yourself. If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully – meaning you don't want to do anything – then don't do anything. But for me, this is aging gracefully. It's my version.'
During an appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Jenner explained that she decided to be open about undergoing the procedure to prevent others from being 'afraid.' 'It really is somehow my way of showing people and trying to inspire others not to be afraid of surgeries that you need that are necessary or even something you wanna do because you wanna feel better about yourself.'
Past Procedures
In 2011, Jenner notably underwent a facelift performed by Dr. Garth Fisher, the same doctor who performed her daughter Kylie's breast augmentation in 2019. The momager has had other procedures in the past, such as Botox and a breast augmentation in the 1980s. In 2018, she had earlobe reduction surgery, and in 2022, she underwent a 'very scary' hip replacement.
