Abstract: This research aims to the existence of modern kebaya in the cultural identity of Javanese women who have undergone transformation in the era of generation Z and the current contemporary era. The method is a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through a survey in the form of a questionnaire. The object of this research is the existence of modern kebaya in the cultural identity of Javanese women, and the subjects are Javanese women of generation Z. The results show that in the current contemporary era, cultural development is increasingly rapid, thus giving birth to various new, more modern kebaya models. This kebaya then became a very popular innovation among Generation Z today, especially among Javanese women. They use modern kebaya as a tool to freely express themselves as a Javanese woman's identity without having to eliminate the meaning and cultural philosophy that is inherent in it.
