Kylie Jenner mocked over '100% plastic' clothing line after her ‘wonky lips’ grab attention at WSJ Awards
NEW YORK CITY, USA: Kylie Jenner stepped into the fashion world with great fanfare, launching her new clothing line, Khy, just a few days back.
The line was introduced with claims of being innovative and creative, but as soon as it hit the public eye, the internet wasn't shy about expressing its views.
Many critics dismissed the line as nothing more than "100% plastic," implying that it lacked genuine creativity or originality.
Amidst the chatter and online debates, Kris Jenner, Kylie's mother, took to social media to share a heartfelt message praising her daughter's entrepreneurial spirit and innovative approach.

"Congratulations Kylie on the launch of your new brand khy and on receiving the 2023 at wsj Innovator Award!!!! Kylie, you have always done things your own way, and with a creativity that is unparalleled. I have seen this beautiful spark in you since you were a little girl and I saw it light up when you created and launched your first lip kits, and I have watched as you’ve built kyliecosmetics over this last 8 years and seen how much love, time, thought and care goes into every detail," Kris wrote.
She added, "Your brands are a part of who you are and it makes me proud to see you put your heart and soul into every product. Every day you surprise and inspire me. And now we celebrate khy!!! We have been talking about creating your own fashion line for so many years and it’s always an amazing feeling to see it come to life. We did it!!!! Thank you for always trusting me. This first drop is so fabulous, and this is just the beginning! I can’t wait for everyone to see what Kylie has been working on. I am so proud of you Kylie and I know how long you’ve waited for this moment!!"
She expressed her pride in Kylie's accomplishments and her ability to push boundaries.
However, the internet's fashion sleuths on Reddit weren't convinced. They pointed out striking similarities between Khy's designs and those of fashion designer Betsy Johnson.
"Although no one should be surprised at this point that the KarJenners steal from creatives," said a user.
"I mean, Kylie copied her whole body from Blac Chyna. What’s a few designs?" said another. "Kardashian/jenner staple of stealing others' work. Still trash," quipped one user.
Accusations of copying and lack of originality stirred up more controversy around the fashion line's debut.
Kylie Jenner’s ‘wonky lips’ grabs attention at the WSJ awards
Kylie Jenner recently made headlines at the WSJ Awards, but not for the reasons she may have expected. Attendees couldn't help but notice a drastic change in her appearance, particularly in her lips.
The reality star was openly mocked thereafter by netizens, with the internet speculating that her lips appeared botched, leading to increased scrutiny over whether she'd had more fillers done.
Critics suggested her face looked somewhat paralyzed due to the effects of these procedures, making her facial expressions seem limited.
The sudden change in her features even prompted some to humorously wonder if she might be feeling a little numb with her new look and that her face looked so "stiff."
"She did something new to her face to look this extra botched," one user on Reddit commented. "There’s more of a droop on one side. I wonder if it’s a nerve issue. Plastic surgery can cause so many diff complications," another commented.
"One side looks permanently up, and the other side moves," said one user on Reddit. "The lips? The lines? The aggressive cheekbones? Who is she lmao," another shared.
"Someone said she's so botched her eyes don't blink at the same time, and now I can never not see it," commented users saying that her right side looks paralyzed. "Everything looks higher up."

Kylie Jenner found herself in the spotlight at the WSJ Innovators Awards for another unique reason. While attending the event, she walked the red carpet solo, even though actor and boyfriend Timothee Chalamet was also in attendance, as per W Magazine.
Internet trolls quickly jumped on the opportunity to speculate, who were eager to see the couple marking their debut red carpet at the event. However, the two chose to walk separately.
Although they walked separately on the red carpet, they were later seen talking and were even seated next to each other during the event.
