Kendall Jenner called out by fashion fans as they unearth snap of Winona Ryder in SAME Met Gala dress after the model claimed to be ‘first human’ to wear it

Kendall Jenner has come under fire from online fashionistas for her claim that she was the “first human” to wear her Givenchy by Alexander McQueen 1999 Met Gala gown.

Kardashian naysayers were then quick to point out that actress Winona Ryder had worn the dress in a 1999 photo for Flaunt magazine.

“What a scam, it turns out Kendall Jenner isn’t the first to wear this Givenchy by McQueen dress!” one fashion fan raged at X.

“Not sure why Kendall said she was the first person to wear it, she may not have known it was worn before unless Winona’s version isn’t the original,” wrote another.

The supermodel donned the vintage garment at Monday’s Met Gala and boasted that she was the first person to ever wear it during a red carpet interview with Fashion.

β€œThis is Givenchy, it’s archive McQueen from 1999,” she explained to La La Anthony.

β€œI’m so incredibly honored to wear it. I’m the first person to wear it. It was on a mannequin,” she continued.

β€œIt was a miracle that it fit, it was a miracle that we found it and it just feels that way and I’m so happy.”

Although some fans online suggested that Jenner may have been wearing a replica of the original dress, the model seemed to suggest that it was the original dress.

β€œThe chances of them having it available were pretty slim, and the odds of it fitting me were pretty slim, and I couldn’t do any tailoring, I couldn’t do anything, and it just fit perfectly,” she said.

However, one fan suggested it might have been Winona wearing a replica, and not Jenner.

β€œIf Winona’s is a custom replica, that’s insane because of the amount of beading and work it would have taken,” they wrote.

Givenchy has backed Jenner’s comments and released an official statement declaring that the reality star is indeed the first person to wear the archive garment.

“Look 14 HC FW99 was not worn in the past and was only presented on a bust,” the luxury fashion house said.

‘Since then, the dress has been kept in the Givenchy archives until the MET Gala. It has never been presented before and it goes back to the Givenchy archives.”

They added: ‘The dress took 500 hours to embroider by hand, using more than 100,000 beads and sequins.’
