Kim Kardashian appears to make fashion faux-pas as she slips into figure-hugging lace dress for Balenciaga show during PFW
She is known for her impeccable style and bold red carpet looks.
But Kim Kardashian appeared to make a major fashion blunder on Sunday as she led the arrivals to the star-studded Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week.
The reality TV star, 43, showed off her hourglass body in a figure-hugging black lace dress as she posed up a storm for the cameras.
The mother of four wore her dark hair in a sleek ponytail to show off the low-cut design of her dress.
However, many eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice the big price tag still hanging on the dress.

The reality TV star, 43, showed off her hourglass body in a figure-hugging black lace dress as she posed up a storm for the cameras
She wore her dark hair in a tight ponytail to show off the low-cut design of her dress, but also showed off the big price tag still attached to the dress.
As Kim headed to watch the runway show, the tag waved freely behind her, but then was seemingly absent as she entered the venue and took a seat in the front row.
However, she often opts for fashionable looks and unconventional outfits, meaning the label was likely an intentional accessory and conversation piece.
It comes after Kim was criticized by fans earlier this year after revealing she has become an ambassador for Balenciaga, a year after the brand faced controversy over an ad featuring children and BDSM items.
The reality TV star announced her partnership with the label in January, led by creative director Demna Gvasalia.
She previously refused to cut ties with the fashion house but said she was “shocked and disgusted” by the images that sparked a backlash against the brand.
She has since made her loyalty clear by taking part in an ad for Balenciaga’s upcoming summer 2024 collection.
Following the announcement of her new collaboration, many fans were disappointed by the decision and pushed back on her statement, writing that her relationship with the brand was built on a “commitment to doing what’s right.”
‘Of all the brands, she had to choose the brand with accusations of child abuse. But not even surprised…’ one wrote, while another branded her a ‘hypocrite’ and added: ‘Money is all that matters to her.’

Another person accused Kim of throwing her “morals out the window” for money, while someone else added: “Anything for money and a higher net worth, I guess.”
Others called out the SKIMS founder for hypocritical behavior: “So basically she said f**k Balenciaga when they were criticized, but now that it’s safe for her brand she’s back?”
Many others criticized the brand, calling it “garbage” and “cancelled.”
Kim’s full statement about her ambassadorship for the brand read: “Balenciaga designs have been part of my many looks for a number of years – and some of my most iconic fashion moments.”
‘This historic fashion house embraces modernity, craftsmanship and takes an innovative approach to design under Demna.’
‘For me, this long-term relationship is based on mutual trust and the commitment to do what is right. I’m excited about this next chapter for the brand and becoming their ambassador.”
Kim has starred in Balenciaga campaigns, walked in their show and accompanied Demna to the 2021 Met Gala.
Following Balenciaga’s poorly reviewed campaign, Kim shared a statement on her Instagram writing, “I have been quiet these past few days, not because I am not shocked and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I want an opportunity to to speak to their team to understand for themselves how this could have happened.

‘As a mother of four children, I am shocked by these disturbing images. The safety of children must be respected with the highest regard and anything that goes against this must have no place in our society.”
She then reissued the statement, changing some of the wording to stronger language, adding, “any attempt to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society – period.”
On balance, however, Kim said she was comfortable with the way the company responded to the scandal.
“I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal from the campaigns and apology. “By talking to them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary steps to ensure this never happens again.”
In an additional post on both Instagram and Twitter, she said she was reconsidering her relationship with the fashion brand, but hadn’t made many final decisions yet.
‘Regarding my future at Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it on their willingness to accept responsibility for something that should never have happened – and the actions I expect them to take to protect children.’
