Jenner opted for a black-and-white polka dot look from head-to-toe, extending the pattern even to her kitten heel pumps. The outfit played with the classic pattern by varying the size of the dots and inverting the color scheme. Her pumps were a white satin style with black polka dots; the silhouette featured a classic pointed toe, low vamp and kitten heel.

Meanwhile, Jenner wore a custom Valentino dress featuring a glossy white skirt with large black polka dots and a side slit. The strapless black bodice contrasted this, flipping the palette and featuring ruching which altered the appearance of the pattern.
