Caitlyn Jenner

I wrote twice about Ms. Jenner before her public transition from (male) Bruce to (female) Caitlyn. (Here and here.) I haven't discussed her publicly since then. I applaud her courage and wish her well. The widespread media-coverage of her story benefits the transgender community because it normalizes us to people who lack basic information about our lives.

Here are some pictures of outfits Caitlyn has been wearing in public lately. What's your impression of her fashion choices?

One thing that jumps out at me is how much younger she looks than her age (65).

  1. I LOVE that she keeps wearing the same shoes! Those classic sling backs go with pretty much everything. They compliment her classic style so well.

    I think she looks lovely <3

  2. I think she looks awesome - she's got a great mature look, but is obviously having fun with dressing her new look. That leopard dress is a fab corporate look.

  3. I think she has much better style as a woman than she ever had as a man.

  5. Seriously, she looks so much younger than 65. More like 45 - 50, in my opinion. I think she's making great fashion choices. There are a lot of Diane von furstenberg-esque notes to these styles and they really work well for a middle aged lady (and for that matter, most gals of any age).

  7. Caitlyn's style is so immaculate and chic, it's really a testament to how our identities are in some ways our callings. When you're able to be true to yourself, your gifts and talents do seem to shine, don't they? :)

  8. She looks fantastic, flawless, and (most importantly) very happy. I applaud all of her fashions (except for leopard print. Because really no one should wear leopard). LOL :) I love her and applaud her for finding her happiness, even if it did come later on in life.

  9. I love how awesome and confident she looks! However, celebrities always tend to look good for their age, even in "bad" pics. She looks hella young for her age!

  10. Much classier that her stepdaughters.
    I'd wear all of these looks - she looks really good.
    I wonder if she has a stylist...

  11. She does look excellent! Reminds me of Lana Del Rey in some photos. She looks like she's having fun with her clothing, which is the best. Especially that last skirt, what a delightful garment.

  12. I think she looks very classy. Tbh, I think she's even prettier than her ex-wife, Kris. She dresses very gorgeous and yes, looks younger than her age! I'm glad she's getting to be the person she is. It's a very brave thing to come out, to transition, and to simply be yourself.

    1. I've had that same thought, Megan. Though Kris Jenner has ruined her looks with surgery, I've noticed. It makes me sad that people do that, feeling they are not beautiful as they are.

  13. I agree that she looks great but I do think we have to keep in mind that cosmetic surgery, lots of makeup and photo retouching are all involved and she will receive more retouching as Caitlyn than she did as Bruce. I do hope that her story helps the transgender community to be better understood and supported. xoxo

  14. She does look great for her age, but she's had hundreds of thousands of dollars of reconstructive surgery...if I were already under the knife for feminization surgery, I'd go ahead and tell them to take a few years off, too! ;) Her sartorial sense is totally on point. You can tell she really understands what it means to dress her age. Mostly though, I'm just happy to see her out and about, being comfortable in her own skin :)

  15. I have to say, Caitlin's fashion choices are spot on. She always looks so polished and elegant-- like DVF!

  16. She looks amazing and I'm loving her classy chic style choices, hair and makeup. She appears very confident and happy. I agree that her story is one having the capability to educate and enlighten many... and that's a good thing.

  17. Yes she looks great. I am excited to watch her show. And there is a show on the Family Channel about transgender children, can you believe it?

    1. I've been watching the show about the kids. Children who are transgender remind me of my youth. I'm glad their fate is better than mine was.

  18. Caitlyn's fashion choices are spot on...she's nailing it! I'm so happy for her in that she is finally able to express who she truly is.
