Candy Cane & Cutoffs: Why Kylie’s Red Leather + Denim Combo Is 2025’s Holiday Mood
She took “jeans and a nice top” — and turned it into a Christmas-tree glow-up with major femme fatale energy.
Girl, Santa called — and he said he wants Kylie’s phone number. For a private holiday soirée thrown by Chrome Hearts in West Hollywood, Kylie stepped out in a vintage red leather jacket from Gucci ’s Fall/Winter 1997 vault — plunging neckline, cropped waist, and mood-setting attitude. She paired it with low-rise dark-wash jeans and black heels: the ultimate “jeans + a nice top” moment — elevated.

But here’s the magic trick: she didn’t trade comfort for glam. The denim grounds the outfit in real-girl energy — like “holiday party meets last-minute mall run,” but make it couture. The jacket gives red-carpet edge; the jeans give “I’m about to leave the party, grab tacos, and still look fire.”
Her glam was whole: long soft waves, a glossy nude lip, and rings that twinkle like Christmas lights. In one Instagram Story, she captioned the look with a single “🎁” — and honestly? The gift was Us seeing her in color.
Holiday Hack:
If you’re copying this look — grab a cropped red jacket (bonus points if it’s vintage), dark denim that hits low on the hips, and throw on black heels. Big red lip? Optional. But the energy? Mandatory. Add a white Christmas tree backdrop and a hot cocoa in one hand — and you’re officially giving “silent night, saucy night™.”
