Jenner and Charli are starring in “The Moment,” a mockumentary inspired by Charli’s iconic “Brat” tour. The film stars a stacked cast that includes Alexander Skarsgard, Rachel Sennot, and Jenner herself, in her breakout moment.
While promoting the project, Jenner shared a photo on her Instagram, sharing a look at herself and Charli on set. Both are seen wearing matching black bikinis, completing the look with open white robes. While both looks are nearly identical, there are some subtle differences, with Jenner wearing a triangle bikini top made out of latex with high-cut bottoms. Charli wore a string bikini with gold hardware.
Jenner is seen holding the movie slate, looking straight at the camera. Adding an edge of surreality are their relatively similar look, with both having their dark hair styled loose. Charli complemented her look with her trademark dark sunglasses.
“The moment!!! can’t wait to see u at the movies xx la and ny tickets on sale now <3,” wrote Jenner on the post’s caption.

Kylie’s decision to act
While few details have been released, a trailer for “The Moment” is available, with Jenner teasing some of her lines. “The second people are getting sick of you, that’s when you have to go even harder,” she says. Jenner appears to be playing a version of herself.
In an appearance on “Khloe in Wonderland,” Jenner opened up about acting and how nervous she was to do something she’s never tried before. “Oh my god. For the Charli movie coming out, I was — Khloé, I was so scared for days to actually do it. I had a very small part. I mean, I had a lot of lines, but I was just so afraid,” said Jenner.

“I think I used to do a lot more things out of my comfort zone, and now I’m used to being very sheltered, staying in like a, you know, safe box for me.”
“It’s probably the reason why I don’t share as much, just to not be judged or criticized or… Years of that takes a toll on you, and I think at a certain point you’re like, ‘Okay, I’m going to do A, B, and C to just protect myself’ … I was very scared to do this and very proud of myself when I did it,” Jenner concluded.
“The Moment” premieres in theaters on January 30th.
