Keeping up with the Kardashian-Jenners('s jobs) is starting to feel like a full-time job. On October 13, the pop duo Terror Jr dropped "Fourth Strike," briefly featuring Kylie Jenner sing-rapping and whispering under the moniker King Kylie. Some people have billed the release as Jenner's musical debut, which ignores (1) her "rise and shine" anthem for daughter Stormi and (2) the main function of the track as a follow-up to a 2016 Kylie Cosmetics commercial. In case you missed her reign the first time around,here's what to know about why King Kylie is making a comeback.
The name - stemming from her handle on Snapchat - became synonymous with matte lips, teal hair, and fabulous mid-2010s manicures, as well as the phenomenon that was (and still is) Kylie Cosmetics. Back in 2022, the mogul took to social media to ask fans what they would want to see if she ever made a King Kylie-themed collection. One person mentioned skull packaging. Another said they needed a glittery gloss.
Seemingly taken in a studio, the Instagram photos showed the reality TV star wearing a pink triangle bra with barely any coverage. Designed like a bikini, it featured a halter neckline and a tie-back closure. She paired the slinky top with a matching skirt slung so low on her hips, it gave me Y2K low-rise PTSD (the *real* near-butt-cleavage-baring low-rise). While the number was already risqué and Jenner-esque, it was also crafted in body-hugging latex.
For Khy's latest collection, the brand partnered with Grace Ling, a designer known for her edgy yet sophisticated pieces. Sculptural designs and eccentric elegance are part of Ling's signature - and that's exactly what this collab brings. To celebrate the summer drop, Jenner took to Instagram to model a new look from the collection: a skimpy bandeau bra paired with a thorny accessory. In a behind-the-scenes video, Jenner sported a co-ord set from the new drop.
Kylie Jenner's candid response to a bold inquiry about her breast surgery is seen as a pivotal moment in promoting transparency among celebrities regarding beauty enhancements.
