Kendall Jenner Was A Vision In Black at the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscars After-Party
Kendall Jenner returned to the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party following the ceremony, this time dressed impeccably in a black gown with an overflowing bust. She wore her hair in a slicked
ponytail and posed solo on the red carpet. (Her boyfriend, Devin Booker, did not appear to be in attendance.)
The appearance comes about as the Kardashian-Jenner family prepares to release their new Hulu series, The Kardashians—and face the wave of publicity that comes with it. Earlier in February 2022, Jenner gave a rare interview during which she opened up about how she came to accept the paparazzi and the public's interest in her life. “I used to be really angry,” Jenner told i-D. “I mean, you can literally find old videos of me screaming at the paparazzi for no reason, but also for a very obvious reason. I’m just a lot more at peace with things now. It’s hard to explain… it’s just something that you learn to live with, I guess.”
Jenner also addressed how she came to terms with her public image versus her private identity. “I’m a control freak at heart,” she said, adding that modeling taught her to put that part of herself on pause. “At a young age, I had to give up that control and let someone else portray me in the way that they wanted to, for an editorial or a campaign or commercial, whatever it was. That was my job. Now, being on the other side is taking that control back in a way, building my own brand [818 Tequila], and feeling empowered—and it has been really amazing. As a woman and as someone who comes from a really female-driven family, it was really cool to put all my tools to work.”
