In one of the more surprising occurrences of twinning in recent history, Kendall Jenner reimagined Paris Hilton's 2002 21st birthday look for her own 21st birthday look last night. Jenner was dressed by her long time stylist Monica Rose in the custom Swarovski crystal LaBourjoisie slip of a dress that cost a reported $9,000.
Hilton was at the height of her fame in 2002, and this sexy, glittery creation is the epitome of the ultra-girlish style that she was synonymous with—Hilton paired the frock with pink heels, blingy choker, butterfly hair clips and pink box bag, of course.
While the dress is staggering in its dedication to the original, in contrast, Jenner has stood out in the fashion realm for her appreciation for streamlined, luxe minimalism with a bare-it-all-and-then-some insouciance. True to form, the model wore clear, heeled sandals, a lucite clutch, diamond choker by Noudar and a fur stole with her glimmering dress.

The lesson here is clear—if you want notes on how to stand out for your all-important twenty-first birthday at a club in La La Land, look no further than the original master.
