To show off the timeless, old Hollywood look, Jenner posed near a large open window in a nondescript building in Italy, where she is currently vacationing.
"When in Italy," Jenner captioned the Instagram post, which featuring a series of photos showing Jenner in various poses, including poses with her hair both up and down to better accentuate the backless feature of her quintessential little black dress.
