Kylie Jenner is no stranger to archival fashion, and her latest look proves she knows exactly how to bring it back with impact. Dipping into the archives of Gucci, Jenner revived a standout piece from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection. It was originally designed by Frida Giannini, and Jenner gave it a fresh, ultra-modern spin.
Kylie Jenner models Gucci swimsuit with huge cutouts that is giving sci-fi in the best way
The one-piece swimsuit is anything but basic. Crafted in a muted grey tone, the design leans heavily into a sculptural, almost futuristic aesthetic. At first glance, the strapless tube silhouette feels minimal, but it quickly reveals its complexity through dramatic side cutouts that carve into her waist. These openings are held together by elastic, bungee-style straps on the lower half. These stretch across the body, creating shape and tension simultaneously.
What really sets the piece apart is its hardware detailing. Silver-toned metallic elements anchor these elastic straps at the center. This forms a statement focal point that feels experimental yet polished. The construction gives the swimsuit a distinctly sci-fi edge. It feels more like wearable art than typical swimwear. This particular design originally walked the runway as a key look and even featured in the campaign, as noted by 1st Dibs. Thus making its revival all the more significant.
On Kylie Jenner, the piece feels completely contemporary. She keeps the styling pared back, letting the swimsuit take full focus. She has loose, messy, curled hair and soft glam makeup. This features glowy cheeks, a bold lip, and soft eyes that add to the effortless appeal. The overall vibe lands somewhere between futuristic and sultry, balancing sharp design with her signature aesthetic.
It is a reminder that great design doesn’t age, it just evolves, and in Jenner’s hands, this archival Gucci moment feels as bold and relevant as ever.
