Kylie Jenner has responded to speculation that her new more conservative ‘clean girl’ style has been inspired by boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
The lip kit mogul, 26, discussed her new look in an interview with The New York Times, which referenced a puff-sleeve ‘cottagecore’ maxi dress she wore on vacation last year.
The mom-of-two was asked if the style evolution has been prompted by her relationship with the American/French Dune actor, 28, whom she’s been linked to since 2023.
‘I don’t know how I feel about that,’ Kylie — whose fans recently voiced fears that the couple have split — replied, adding, ‘I just don’t want to talk about personal things.’
The Kardashians star also shared she had not seen any comments about the theories regarding her style as she only reads feedback about her businesses and products.

She said the birth of her second child — son Aire Webster, 2 — was the reason for her new style.
‘It takes me a while after I have a baby to feel like myself again,’ she revealed. ‘Then you get your body back, and you’re like, “Wait, the trends have changed.”‘
During the interview she also touched on the impact of the criticism regarding her appearance, and speculation about whether she’s had more cosmetic surgery — which can be set off by a photo of her at an event with harsh lighting.
‘It’s just years and years of not feeling like my face or looks are accepted,’ she said. ‘There’s nothing anyone could ever say now that would hurt me.’
The publication further stated that Kylie no longer wears ‘wigs or bold makeup every day’ and is ‘stripping down a little bit.’
‘I don’t have this thick mane down to my butt, I don’t have lash extensions, I don’t have these long claws,’ she shared.
Over the past months fans have noticed a style reinvention, with the reality star opting for more pared back looks, including the one she wore to the Jean Paul Gaultier show during Paris Fashion Week in January.
Many believed that she appeared to have switched up her style after going public with the Hollywood actor.
Channeling a high fashion look with a classic hair style and stripped back natural make-up, Kylie looked worlds away from her past bold statements and body-hugging ensembles.
