Kendall Jenner Wears Tiger Print Chanel to The Tonight Show

Kendall Jenner appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in New York City on Wednesday night. Her stylist, Dani Michelle, selected a look from Chanel’s Métiers d’art 2026 collection, adapting a runway design for late-night setting. The collection was first presented in December in a New York City subway station, marking Matthieu Blazy’s second collection for Chanel.

The orange-and-black gown featured a tiger print and made from tiny reflective beads that created a textured surface. The midi dress was narrowed at the waist, with a paillette-trimmed neckline and hem adding contrast.

Jenner wore minimal accessories.The outfit was paired with black patent leather Chanel slingback heels and gold stud earrings. Forgoing the matching tiger print bag used on the runway, she opted for a strappy Chanel bag. Her shoulder-length hair was styled simply with a center-part. For makeup, she went for a natural base with softly defined eyebrows, finishing the look with a pale orange lip that mirrored the tones of the dress.

The model revealed that the gown was not the original runway piece, but a replica made by the artisan who made the runway version. According to Jenner, the recreation was the perfect replica.

The tiger motif was one of several animal references seen throughout Chanel’s Métiers d’art 2026 collection, which also incorporated python, zebra, and leopard patterns. Tiger print is trending this year and other designers aside from Chanel, such as Alaïa and Gucci, have also featured tiger stripes in recent collections. The likes of Rihanna were seen last week wearing animal-print in a fuzzy jacquard coat by Alaïa, paired with matching heels.
