Kim Kardashian wore a beige silicone column gown last night—one that was made-to-measure for her. The star co-hosted Kering’s Caring for Women dinner at the Pool, wearing Balenciaga’s “molded wet dress” from its summer 2024 collection.
For glam, Kardashian kept with the theme and had her dark brown hair styled in wet waves. A nude lip and smokey eye completed the look.
At the dinner, Kardashian was photographed with an array of stars, including Dakota Johnson, Salma Hayek, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom.
This is Kardashian’s first fashion week appearance this season so far. The reality star spoke to Vogue Italia last year about how, with her divorce from Kanye West well behind her, she feels like this is a new era for her.
“I do feel like it’s a new me,” Kardashian said. “My prior confidence stemmed from having a partner whose opinion I trusted so much. When that happens you kind of lose your own. Now I’m at a time where I just want to do the right thing. I want to appreciate everything and everyone around me, mind my own business, and value my relationships with my kids. In terms of what I want to leave behind, I’m not the type of person who forgets about she came from. I am grateful for all of it.”
She also spoke about how she approaches what kind of designers she works with, calling it a “mix” of established and emerging brands.
“I love emerging talent,” she said. “My stylist is always looking for new relationships and brands. We’re always always keeping an ear to the streets and seeing what’s out there and what everyone’s loving and wearing, even when we travel. If I am going to Armenia, I always ask who the local designers are. When I go to Miami or London, I’ll always keep in mind a little bit of a different style. I love dressing local when I can.”
