While Jenner, 30, walked the catwalk in a flowing black gown, Elordi, 29, was seen watching her from the audience. As the report notes, the couple had not been seen together since a late August outing at a Japanese barbecue restaurant in Los Angeles.
The event was a significant gathering for the fashion industry, featuring several other high-profile attendees. Julianne Moore added a pop of color to the event in an all-black ensemble with red earrings, while Lauren Hutton appeared in an oversized grey suit. Travis Scott, the ex-boyfriend of Jenner's sister Kylie Jenner, was also in attendance, maintaining the family's visible presence in the celebrity circuit.

The couple also shared a glamorous dinner at Cipriani with Elordi's father, John, on Wednesday, furthher cementing the personal nature of their recent travels. This follows a pattern of high-profile international outings, including previous trips to Hawaii and Tokyo.
Kylie Jenner’s "alpha sister" matchmaking strategy
The origin of the Jenner-Elordi romance appears to be a calculated move by Kylie Jenner . Sources suggest that Kylie, acting as the "alpha sister," pushed Kendall toward Elordi to facilitate double dates with Timothée Chalamet. This matchmaking effort took place during a high-pressure period in Hollywood, as Chalamet was campaigning for an Oscar for his role in Marty Supreme.
At the same time, Elordi was navigating his own professional milestones,including nominations for his role in Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation of Frankenstein. The insider noted that the four individuals became close at Kendall's home ,where the chemistry between Jenner and Elordi eventually became apparent.
The February versus April dating discrepancy
While the Milan appearance offers a united front, the exact timeline of the couple's romance remains unverified. There is a notable discrepancy between different reports regarding when the pair actually began dating. While some sources cited by Deuxmoi claim they were seen together at a Justin Bieber Coachella afterparty in April, an insider told the Daily Mail that the relationship actually dates back to early February.
This lack of clarity leaves several questions regarding the true beginning of their relationship. It remains unconfirmed whether the "chemistry" reported by insiders was an immediate connection or a gradual development following the matchmaking efforts of the Jenner sisters.
