Kylie Jenner has posted photos in a micro bikini and tiara on Instagram after facing online backlash over her dress at Jordyn Woods's Malibu wedding.
The 29-year-old makeup maven showed off her curves in the tiny black two-piece swimsuit while lounging poolside, captioning the post with a queen emoji. The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Jenner for comment.
Her four-image carousel included a close-up selfie of Jenner wearing lime green earphones while presenting her famous pout. Another image featured a mirror selfie highlighting her augmented chest and a bejeweled phone case, while a third photo gave a point-of-view look at her phone and a lighter printed with her own image resting in her lap.
Backlash Over Wedding Outfit
The poolside photos arrived following widespread criticism of the ensemble Jenner chose for the Malibu wedding of her on-again friend Jordyn Woods to professional basketball player Karl-Anthony Townes. Jenner attended the star-studded ceremony alongside her boyfriend, actor Timothee Chalamet.
Jenner wore a black halter neck gown that featured midriff cutouts and a risqué thigh-high slit to the event. The revealing ensemble also teased side-boob as she posed with Chalamet during the celebrations.
Social media users quickly targeted the reality star's attire on Reddit. "How does Kylie always manage to look so gaudy and cheap," one person commented on a Reddit thread. Another social media user snarked, "Imagine having billions and dressing straight out of Fashion Nova."
Criticism extended to other attendees as well, with one user remarking, "They all look tired.. Even Kylie's dress is awful." Another commenter questioned the family's choices, writing, "Kardashians/Jenners have all the money and resources in the world and still can’t dress themselves for a wedding, like what?"
One commenter advised Jenner to adjust her wardrobe for private events, stating, "Please look at the dress code and get out of red-carpet mode. Not every event requires your most revealing/attention-grabbing outfit." However, others defended the outfit. One user marveled at her appearance, writing, "Kylie!!! Wow."
Defending Celebrity Standards
Some commentators argued that celebrity events operate under different standards. One person noted that the outfit might be "too much" for some, but added that "different people have different attitudes about that" and guaranteed that the wedding group would not care at all about scanty outfits.
While one user insisted the dress was "a lil much for a wedding," another rebutted, "I agree for a typical wedding, but this is a celeb wedding. Different standards, I feel."
Another fan highlighted the positive aspect of Jenner attending the ceremony, noting that Jenner and Woods had successfully moved past their previous personal conflicts. User Dependent_Special957 commented, "It's cute. They’ve all remained friends for a long time. I also like that Kylie and Jordyn ended up remaining friends in the end."
History of the Friendship
Jenner, the founder of Kylie Cosmetics and former star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, shares a long history with Woods. The two close friends experienced a high-profile falling out over seven years ago following a love triangle involving Woods, Khloe Kardashian, and Kardashian's then-boyfriend, NBA player Tristan Thompson.
Their friendship was severed in February 2019 following the publicized cheating scandal. Woods later appeared on Facebook's Red Table Talk, explaining that Thompson had kissed her at an afterparty after both had been drinking. The incident led to Woods moving out of Jenner's guest house, and the pair were not seen together publicly for several years afterward.
The duo publicly resurfaced as friends in July 2023 when they were spotted getting sushi together. By September 2024, they appeared together on social media, proving that their relationship was on the mend. Jenner showed further support in December 2025 by commenting "jordyyyyyyy" alongside teary-eyed emojis under Woods's Instagram post announcing her engagement to Townes.
