Kylie Jenner is the future of fashion, all right.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star made Met Gala debut in New York City Monday, where she wholly embraced the night's theme: Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. The 18-year-old reality star modeled an embellished Balmain dress that featured nude illusion panels and feather details. Kylie—who rocked a chin-length bob—was dripping in Lorraine Schwartz jewels, as were her family members Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kris Jenner. Both Balmain's Olivier Rousteing and Lorraine Schwartz are family friends, so Kylie was in good hands.

Kylie's boyfriend, Tyga, hadn't seen her by the time he hit the red carpet—but we'd venture to guess he'd name her best dressed of the night. Meanwhile, a Balmain-clad Kris told E! News' Catt Sadler that Kylie was feeling "nervous" about her big debut. "She goes, 'Mom, the dress is tight. How am I supposed to get up the stairs?" Luckily, Kylie found her footing and struck a confident pose. "Mission accomplished!" Kris said.

It's sure to be a fun night for the entire family. After all, Kris told E! News, the Met Gala is "about celebrating fashion, and Anna [Wintour] does such a great job of bringing everyone together."

With 59.9 million Instagram followers coveting her style and beauty looks, it's no wonder why Kylie scored an invite to fashion's biggest night. Not to mention, just eight months after she appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue, Kylie made her debut in Vogue alongside Bella Hadid and Lottie Moss. Like Kylie, Bella and Lottie both have famous sisters in the fashion industry and are social media stars in their own right.
