When it comes to fashionable families, the Kar-Jenners have always found their place at the top of many Hollywood best-dressed lists, and while she may be the youngest of the A-list sisters, Kylie Jenner has certainly made her mark on the Met Gala.
From sheer, bedazzled bodycon dresses to cathedral-length trains and ruffled wedding gowns, her Met Gala moments have showcased her evolving aesthetics, and while we still are holding out for a King Kylie comeback, her most recent red carpet moments have fashion fans counting down the days until her latest avant-garde look.
