From Kylie Jenner to Julia Fox, See What Guests Wore to the “Thierry Mugler: Couturissime” Exhibition Opening Night at Brooklyn Museum — See Photos

Celebs like Kylie Jenner and Julia Fox have gotten together to celebrate designer Thierry Mugler. There’s really no way to describe Thierry Mugler’s impact on the fashion world. The designer, who died in early 2022, brought an innovative vision to his work, including otherworldly haute couture and glamorous gowns with an element of surprise or shock. When you think of Mugler, you probably think of bold, strong shoulders, crystalline motifs, and couture pieces that look like they walked right out of a surrealist film.

Mugler’s influence continues to reverberate across red carpets and couture salons. Celebrities like Cardi B and Kim Kardashian have worn archival pieces to major events like the Grammys and the Met Gala. Even Mugler’s fragrances, like the iconic Angel in its signature star-shaped bottle, set a standard for design and shook up the fragrance industry. If you want to explore the world of Mugler in all its fascinating, jaw-dropping glory, the Brooklyn Museum is now home to the first Mugler retrospective, Thierry Mugler: Couturissime.

The exhibit runs from November 18 to May 7, and stars stepped out to celebrate the VIP opening in their Mugler-inspired best. As mentioned above, Kylie Jenner was in attendance wearing a corset gown with an elaborate jeweled crown, while Julia Fox donned a cutout blazer. Lourdes Leon threw it back in a vintage sheer Mugler catsuit and oversized cross necklace.

And while a glamorous red carpet is fun, it’s also worth noting that a union demonstration was happening outside the museum at the same time as the VIP opening. Museum workers are currently striking for fair wages, fair contracts, and affordable healthcare. You can learn more about their mission on their Instagram.
