The 22-year-old supermodel stepped out in New York City on Thursday wearing a head-turning ensemble: an oversized black satin blazer, matching black satin micro-shorts and baggy black boots with emerald green pointed toes. She topped off the look with that aforementioned oxymoronic statement piece: a millennial pink belt with a diamond-encrusted buckle.

Jenner wore her Barbie Dreamhouse-appropriate belt to a book launch hosted by fellow supermodels Cindy Crawford and Candice Swanepoel. (Which makes us wonder: What would we wear to a star-studded book launch? And could it also be found in Barbie’s wardrobe?)
We’re not so sure we could pull this look off ourselves, but we give Jenner Kudos for this daring move. It is Fashion Week, after all. And if there were ever a time to celebrate a bold look, it’s now.
