Kendall Jenner Wore a Dress With a Slit Up to There at the CFDA Awards

Too many words and so little time is the best way to describe how I feel about the Alexandre Vauthier Couture lilac feather dress Kendall Jenner wore on the 2018 CFDA Awards red carpet. Between the belt, the hue, the texture, and the asymmetrical hem, this dress was truly one for the books. Yes, the look is extremely on-trend for summer 2018 thanks to the feathers and lilac coloring, but the past-the-thigh slit is what really caught our attention.
If anyone can pull off a slit moment "up to there," it's Kendall. After all, she is known for taking red carpet risks, including this sheer red carpet moment at the Met Gala last year. She kept her accessories minimal, allowing the true colors of the dress shine, which did just the trick. Below, check out her full look on the red carpet in addition to a sneak peek she gave us on her Instagram stories.
