Kylie Jenner Honors Late Stylist at 2025 Oscars
In a poignant moment at the 2025 Oscars, Kylie Jenner took the red carpet without her beloved hairstylist and confidant, Jesus Guerrero, who tragically passed away just weeks prior. Known for his incredible talent and warmth, Jesus was only 34 when he left this world, and it’s clear his absence was felt deeply by Kylie and her glam squad. Makeup artist Ariel Tejada shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, revealing that Jesus was buzzing with excitement for Kylie’s debut at the Academy Awards alongside boyfriend Timothée Chalamet. “Today was really hard without you, but I know how excited you were for Ky to attend the Oscars,” he wrote, echoing the sentiments of anyone who has ever lost a close friend.
Kylie, who wore a stunning black Miu Miu gown, reflected on her decade-long friendship with Jesus, describing him as a “light” in her life—someone who made even the heaviest days feel lighter. Her emotional Instagram post encapsulated the deep bond they shared, stating, “The pain of losing you is just unbearable, and I don’t know how to move forward without you.” It’s a powerful reminder of how important chosen family can be in the high-pressure world of celebrity life.
For those who might not know, Jesus Guerrero was not just a hairstylist; he was a creative force who worked with numerous A-listers, helping them shine on and off the red carpet. His legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched with his talent and kindness. Ariel also highlighted Jesus’s humility and resilience, qualities that made him a beloved figure in the beauty industry.
As Kylie navigates life without him, it’s clear that her grief is a testament to the profound love they shared. While the Oscars are often a celebration of glamour, this year they also served as a bittersweet reminder of friendship, loss, and the enduring impact of those we cherish. So, while we were all dazzled by the sparkling gowns and star-studded arrivals, let’s not forget the heart behind the glam—because in Hollywood, it’s the people that truly make the spotlight shine.
