Kendall Jenner's sheer black tights and fuchsia knit dress: her Paris, Texas Halloween look

A platinum bob, a fuchsia knit mini that looks brushed rather than woven, and below the hem a veil of black. For her Halloween birthday party, Kendall Jenner turned into Jane Henderson, Nastassja Kinski's character in Wim Wenders's Paris, Texas (1984). You recognise the costume by the pink, but it is the sheer black tights that hold it together.

Here is the night, who made the dress, what we know about the tights and why sheer black is the right partner for a pink this bright.

The night: Bar Marmont, 30 October

The party, Elle reports, took place on Friday 30 October at Bar Marmont in Los Angeles, marking both Halloween and the model's 31st birthday, which falls on 3 November. Elle lists Charli XCX, Hailey Bieber and Laura Harrier among the guests; some of the night's costumes are in our round-up of Halloween 2026. According to Elle and Harper's Bazaar, Jacob Elordi went as Travis Henderson, Jane's husband, played in the film by Harry Dean Stanton: a couple's costume.

She posted the photos herself, on Instagram, on 31 October: nine pictures, captioned only with the film's title, "Paris, Texas". There are black-and-white frames that look like they came out of a photo booth, colour close-ups and two shots at a bar counter.

The look: a custom fuchsia knit by Suss Knits

The dress is by Suss Knits, a Los Angeles knitwear label. The label said so itself on 1 November, on Instagram: "custom knit for @kendalljenner inspired by paris, texas (1984). styled by @danixmichelle". Marie Claire confirms that Dani Michelle is Jenner's stylist and that the dress was made for her.

Top to bottom, as the photos show it. A wide boat neck that leaves the collarbones bare. Three-quarter sleeves, lightly gathered at the shoulder. The bodice follows the figure to the hips and ends in a mini, the hem dissolving into the long pile of the knit. At the back, a deep scoop: Elle calls it "low-back". The yarn is long-haired and soft, and the colour is a full fuchsia with no drift towards purple.

The Suss Knits post also shows how the piece was made: cones of fuchsia yarn, a panel on the knitting machine, a sketch labelled "fuzzy pink dress", the open back and even a sleeveless "tank option". In the film, Marie Claire notes, Jane wears a bright pink, off-the-shoulder sweater as a dress: Suss Knits kept the colour and the idea of a jumper worn as a dress.

The rest of the costume comes from The Zoe Report's credits: the blonde bob wig, with flipped-out ends and a centre parting, by Irinel de León; make-up by Mary Phillips. The shoes do not appear in any photo, and no source mentions them.

The tights: what we know and what we don't

The sources agree on the type: Elle writes "transparent black tights", The Zoe Report "sheer black tights". None gives a brand, a style or a denier, and neither Suss Knits nor Dani Michelle mentions them. So: not credited.

What the photos show, and this is our reading. In Jenner's second photo, below the hem, the skin shows clearly and the black is even, with no shine: a matte sheer. In the fourth, seated at the bar, the black deepens where the leg bends, as light sheers do. No seam, no pattern, no visible logo. That puts them at roughly 15 to 20 denier.

For a similar pair, the shop the look box lists a 20 denier sheer black from Calzedonia, marked "similar": it is not Kendall Jenner's pair.

Why it works: fuchsia and sheer black

Saturated pink and black is a classic contrast, one of fashion's oldest. It holds here, with one condition: the right black is a sheer one.

Opaque black under a fuchsia mini would cut the figure into two blocks, pink on top and black below, and the legs would become a second focal point. Sheer does something else. It lets the skin through, so the black reads as shadow rather than colour, and the fuchsia stays the only solid colour in the look. It is the same job sheer black has been doing on this autumn's red carpets, as we wrote in why sheer black tights are back: standing in for bare legs, with more polish.

There is a practical reason too. A costume based on a film always risks looking like fancy dress; sheer black tights are an everyday piece, and they bring the 1984 pink back to something you could wear at the end of October without changing the silhouette.

How to wear it

• Choose 15 to 20 denier, black, matte. Below 15 the black almost vanishes; above 30 the skin disappears and the contrast turns blocky. Our denier guide explains the scale.
• One strong colour on top. Fuchsia, magenta, hot pink: sheer black works because it does not compete. No bag or belt in a third bright colour.
• Black shoes, in the same black as the tights. A black pump or Mary Jane extends the line; a pink shoe matched to the dress breaks the leg at the ankle.
• With fuzzy knits, keep the tights plain. A long-pile yarn is already very textured: choose tights with no pattern, no lurex and no visible seam.
• Opaque only if the pink is dark. With a fuchsia that leans towards plum, or under a heavy coat, a 40 denier black holds up; with a bright pink and a mini, stay sheer.
• For Halloween, start from the character. When the costume is a coloured dress, the tights are what make it wearable: more ideas in our guide to the right tights for 2026's Halloween costumes.

A pink jumper from 1984 turned into a custom mini, and a veil of black that carries it into autumn: the costume is over, but the look works just as well in December.

The photos

The images on this page are embedded Instagram posts from the official profiles of Suss Knits (at the top) and Kendall Jenner, and stay on their servers. Both open on a close-up: the tights appear as you swipe, as the captions say. No official post from the night (stylist, make-up, hair, guests, magazines) opens on a full-length shot. Getty Images has no photos of the 30 October party, and we do not use paparazzi shots. The description of the look comes from Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire and The Zoe Report (via Yahoo where noted); none of them credits the tights.
