Chloe Sims looked stunning in a black blazer mini dress as she partied with longtime boyfriend Vas J Morgan in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.

The former TOWIE star, 42, put on a very leggy display in a pair of sheer stockings and a garter belt, as she elevated her frame with pointy heels.

She wore stylish gold hoop earrings and carried her belongings in a Balenciaga handbag.

Vas, 35 – who, like Chloe, shot to fame on TOWIE – showed off his impeccable style in a brown leather jacket and matching trousers.

The TV personality paired a number of accessories with the outfit, including a brown cowboy hat, sunglasses and layered gold chains.

The couple seemed in good spirits as they arrived at actress Caylee Cowan’s 26th birthday.

Caylee turned heads in a nude leather strapless top and matching miniskirt.

The Spinning Gold star added height to her frame in sky-high black heels as she walked hand in hand with Vas

It comes after Chloe and her sisters Frankie and Demi returned to TV screens this month for their reality show House Of Sims season two.

In a trailer ahead of the release of the first episode, the girls had a very explosive argument during filming, which led to Frankie, 28, and Demi, 27, returning to Essex and quitting their American family show.

Things quickly got heated between the sisters when they were spotted having drinks at a rooftop bar before crew members were forced to intervene and separate the siblings.

Chloe told Frankie and Demi to “stop their attitude” after saying earlier in the trailer that she “put them the fuck where they are” in their careers.

As the temperature rose, Chloe grabbed her drink and launched it over Demi, causing their brother Charlie to hold them in a scroll before crew members helped.

As she threw the cocktail, Demi shouted: ‘What the f***, you f***ing c***’, while Frankie called Chloe a ‘piece of s***’.

Raising her voice, Chloe said, “You were rude to me, you’re my sisters. I do not think so!’

As Chloe walked away, Demi shouted after her: ‘You’re embarrassing and a bully. I’m done with her’.

While Frankie added: ‘I never want to see her again.’

As Chloe left the bar, she was joined by brother Charlie and told him she was ‘done with the two of them’.

The intense new series, which aired on OFTV on March 13, also features guest appearances from other former TOWIE stars, including Vas and Charlie’s fiancée Georgia Shults.

Speaking about the new series, Chloe said fans will love watching the reality stars go through the highs and lows as they ‘adjust to life in LA’.

She said: ‘Filming this season was amazing – there was so much happening and we got to do so many things you’ve never seen us do before, from seeing an amazing drag show at Hamburger Mary’s to getting surfing lessons.

“Fans of the show will love it. There are bound to be some tense moments like those in every family, and you’ll see the bumps in the road as we adjust to life in Los Angeles.

Chloe recently revealed that House Of Sims has signed a big-money deal with Netflix.

The TOWIE star, who co-produced the show with her brother Charlie, said working on the series has been ‘one of the highlights of her career’, and filming for the second season is already well underway.

Chloe moved to Los Angeles last year to appear on reality show OnlyFans with her siblings, with the star previously saying she is determined to break the US.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about the takeover, Chloe said: ‘Producing two seasons of House of Sims alongside my brother Charlie and starring in them was a very different challenge for me.

‘It’s one of the biggest highlights of my career! When I started at TOWIE over a decade ago, I never imagined I would be producing our own show in LA.

‘It’s not an easy journey, but it’s exciting, nerve-wracking and it keeps me on my toes!’

It’s undoubtedly the biggest night on the awards season calendar – and Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski pulled out all the stops for the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.

The reality star, 43, looked suitably glamorous in a sculptural white satin dress from Balenciaga as she arrived at the Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills.

The mother-of-four, who styled her hair in Hollywood waves, completed her look with a smokey eye and nude lip.

Meanwhile, Emily Ratajkowski, 32, opted for a similarly futuristic dress from French fashion label Jacquemus.

The backless dress had an asymmetrical bodice that tilted slightly to the left and almost seemed to separate from her figure.

The supermodel let her statement dress take center stage and opted for her signature tousled hair and minimal jewelry.

White Lotus actress Alexandra Daddario was another glamorous guest who fully committed to the trend.

The star, 37, arrived on the red carpet in a figure-hugging white dress with a huge statement bow wrapping around her arms.

Alexandra put her brown hair in a bun and wore a bold, deep red shade of lipstick.

Alessandra Ambrosio also opted for a similarly striking white dress for the Vanity Fair after-party last night.

The former Victoria’s Secret model’s figure-hugging white dress featured a silk cape and bow neck.

The star, 42, styled her long brown hair into a bun and completed her look with some red nail polish and diamond earrings.

German actress Sandra Hüller – who starred in Anatomy of a Fall – arrived on the red carpet in a white v-neck dress with a statement bodice.

The shimmering dress featured a sculptural bodice adorned with gold studs and white lace.

In a nod to the trend, Olivia Munn appeared on the red carpet in a white strapless dress with a futuristic train.

Plus, Rashida Jones looked glamorous in a white floor-length dress with a pleated skirt and twisted shoulder straps, which turned into a train.

Earlier in the evening, Emily Blunt became the first star to wear a futuristic dress as she arrived in a gravity-defying beaded couture gown.

The cream Schiaparelli dress was covered in sequins and decorated with a quirky, bejeweled Y, which fans joked looked like the underwear outfit.

Meanwhile, Julianne Hough opted for an equally daring look as she arrived at the Oscars in a white voluminous jumpsuit with a gold sequin bodice.

Last night’s Oscars were filled with dazzling performances, controversial comments, a shocking pregnancy announcement, a naked onstage appearance, an awkward wardrobe malfunction — and a feud between host Jimmy Kimmel and former President Donald Trump.

It started with a lame monologue from the presenter in which he made a very crude joke about Robert Downey Jr.’s masculinity, which did not sit well with the actor.

But when Donald subsequently posted a scathing tweet about Jimmy, labeling him the “worst host” in Oscars history, the comedian decided to blow him off on national television, asking him, “Isn’t your prison sentence over ?’

During the three-hour, star-studded event, Ryan Gosling delivered a hilarious rendition of his hit song I’m Just Ken from Barbie, leaving many celebrity attendees in the audience in stitches and Emma Stone accidentally ripping her dress.

There were certainly some viral and shocking moments: the dog that appeared in Anatomy of a Fall became an internet sensation after being spotted cute in the audience, and John Cena came on stage naked, using the envelope with the lyrics on it. winner managed to cover his genitals.

The Oscars is the biggest event of the year in the movie calendar, but it’s also all about fashion as the stars step out on the red carpet dressed to impress in glamorous attire.

However, many outfits hold meaning beyond what meets the eye, with stars purposefully conveying messages through fashion statements.

Elsewhere, eagle-eyed fans have derived meaning from A-listers and their choice of gown.

For instance, Margot Robbie ditched the typical pink attire that she’s been wearing on repeat while promoting her role in Barbie in favour of a black dress – a move some have claimed is a reaction to her Oscar nomination snub.

Other stars, such as Emma Stone and Carey Mulligan, have openly declared the sweet meaning behind their glamorous dresses for the event – and how they link to the characters they portray on screen.

Here, FEMAIL reveals the A-Listers who conveyed hidden meanings through their fashion choices at the the 96th Annual Academy Awards. 

MARGOT ROBBIE 

Margot Robbie sent social media into a frenzy after she arrived at the Oscars 2024 red carpet in Los Angeles wearing an unexpected outfit.

The Australian beauty displayed her trim physique in a shimmery, structured Versace gown with help from stylist Andrew Mukamal. The metal-mesh gown is from the fashion house’s Fall 2024 collection.

It featured a subtly sloped neckline and flattering draping at the hips, creating a gorgeous hourglass silhouette. 

But it was the colour of Margot’s glamorous Versace gown that led to speculation online.   

The 33-year-old actress — whose hit film Barbie received eight nominations — ended her run of pink awards show looks in the strapless black gown.

The colour choice led some to believe that Margot was commenting on her lack of nominations through the colour. 

Despite Barbie’s impressive eight nominations, Robbie was not nominated for Best Actress, while Greta Gerwig was not nominated for Best Director.

America Ferrera was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film, with pundits saying her character’s impassioned speech on feminism sealed the deal.

Barbie’s other nominations include Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling and two nods for Best Song — including Gosling’s tune I’m Just Ken.

In a decision that sparked controversy, Margot was notably absent from the slew of nominations.

Social media users have claimed that Robbie ditching her typical Barbie-esque red carpet look in favour for a black outfit choice represents her ‘mourning the award she didn’t get’.

EMMA STONE 

It was a successful night for Emma Stone, who took home the prize for Best Actress following her role in Poor Things.

But before the big win, Emma, 35, wowed in pastel green and showed off her stunning frame in a peplum detail Louis Vuitton gown with floral brocade on the red carpet.

Fans of Poor Things will know a bit about its main character, Bella Baxter, a young woman explored in the tale after being brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist, Dr Goodwin Baxter.

With a special nod to the character that secured her one of the most significant accolades in her career, Emma dedicated her dress to Bella.

In an interview with British Vogue, Petra Flannery, Emma’s stylist said: ‘We wanted to keep Emma, Emma but show her affinity with the character and Bella’s spirit.’

The peplum feature nods to Bella Baxter’s love of ruffles, as created by costume designer Holly Waddington.

After winning the award, the Cruella star said she was ‘in awe’ of all of the team behind the surreal comedy, where she plays a woman who is reanimated and implanted with the brain of a baby.

Emma looked visibly pleased with herself as she entered the Winners’ Room at the ceremony.

The actress fought off competition from Maestro actress Carey Mulligan, Rye Lane’s Vivian Oparah, Anatomy of a Fall actress Sandra Huller and former American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino – who had been nominated for her role in The Color Purple – for the gong.

LILY GLADSTONE 

Best Actress nominee, Lily Gladstone, looked sensational as she arrived at the 2024 Oscars on Sunday.

Gladstone, 37, was the first Native American nominated for Best Actress for her performance in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon – and was the favourite in the category thanks to her wins at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards.

She missed out on the award to Emma Stone. However, the 37-year-old made a touching nod to her Indigenous community through her attire.

The Killers of the Flower Moon actress radiated glamour on the red carpet in a midnight blue strapless gown with a flowing train.

While the dress, which featured a lavender trim and white floral detail across the skirt, was stunning in itself, it was the designer that created meaning behind the look.

Lily, whose heritage includes Blackfeet and Nez Perce roots, and her stylist, Jason Rembert, chose to bring a design that represents Native American culture to cinema’s most prestigious event.

The custom look was made in collaboration by Gucci’s creative director Sabato De Sarno and Indigenous artist Joe Big Mountain comes from the Mohawk, Cree & Comanche Nation.

Talking of the collaboration, Sabato De Sarno told Vogue: ‘Lily is an incredible talent. Her selecting Gucci to dress her for this historic moment is an honour.’

‘Creating a dress that conveys beauty and illuminates Indigenous designers and artistry, passed down through generations, is powerful; The collaboration with Joe and [his wife] Sunshine in Italy was a special moment for me.’

It comes after Lily was the first Indigenous actor to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress in the ceremony’s 81-year history.

Gladstone said: ‘This is a historic one, and it doesn’t belong to just me,’ Gladstone said in English, after opening their acceptance speech speaking in the Blackfeet language.

‘I’m holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film and my mother [in the film], Tantoo Cardinal.’

SYDNEY SWEENEY 

Sydney Sweeny caused waves online for emulating Marilyn Monroe’s iconic sex appeal as she posed on the red carpet at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

However, it wasn’t just Marilyn who Sydney took inspiration from on Sunday, but also Angelina Jolie. 

In a touching nod to Angelina’s style prowess, the Euphoria star, 26, replicated her 76th Annual Academy Awards look from 2004. 

The Old Hollywood Marc Bouwer cream gown cemented Angelina’s status as a fashion icon in the early 2000s.

Some 20 years later, Sydney followed Angelina’s footsteps and modelled the glamorous plunging halter neckline at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills yesterday evening.

Sydney recreated the bombshell look with the gown, matching shawl and accessories with a similar collection of layered pendant necklaces.

With the help of hair and makeup, Sydney managed to add her own touch to the archival look.

The White Lotus alum previously rocked her usual long, blonde tresses when she recently hosted Saturday Night Live.

For the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Sydney changed it up and showcased a darker honey-blonde colour and her shoulder-length bob styled in bouncy waves.

The style differed from Angelina’s 2004 red carpet look, which saw the then 29-year-old’s long locks run loose.

With the incredible look, Sydney joined Angelina, 48, and the many A-list bombshells recognized for their red carpet outfits and graced many best-dressed lists.

ARIANA GRANDE 

The singer’s extravagant pink look might seem like a stylish choice merely intended to wow, but film fanatics will know that her attire paid tribute to the Wicked character Glinda.

Ariana Grande took to the prestigious event in a billowing pink gown – as she walked her first red carpet in four years.

After turning up to the red carpet late, the 30-year-old turned heads wearing a fitted, strapless pink gown from Giambattista Valli Haute Couture.

The dress contained ruched material as well as billowing fabric that flowed down into a train behind her for a dramatic flare.

It was a choice that channelled her character – Glinda the Good Fairy – in the upcoming adaptation of Wicked.

The singer – who recently revealed that she ‘cried herself to sleep’ following split from ex Dalton Gomez – is set to portray the beautiful witch with an adoration for all things pink.

The film is based on Gregory Maguire’s best selling novel and the hit Broadway musical adaptation, which debuted in 2003 starring Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel.

It is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz in which the storyline proceeds with Dorothy and details the one-time friendship between the Elphaba and Glinda characters.

It also stars Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible and Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, as well as Bowen Yang, Adam James, Keala Settle and Bronwyn James.

CAREY MULLIGAN 

If she’s not behind the camera showcasing her skills as an actress, she’s gracing the red carpet in tasteful looks. 

But Carey Mulligan put a lot of extra thought into the gown she wore to Sunday’s Academy Awards, where she was nominated in the Best Actress category.

The actress wowed in a black and white Balenciaga dress accessorised with opera gloves and Boucheron jewels for her red carpet moment at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

And speaking to Vogue, she revealed how the carefully chosen dress was a tribute to her character in her nominated movie Maestro.

‘I think it’s my favourite dress I’ve ever worn,’ Carey gushed, explaining that the dress is a precise recreation of a 1951 gown from the Balenciaga archives. 

The date is significant as 1951 also happens to be the year that Felicia Montealegre and Leonard Bernstein got married, making the dress a fitting tribute to the woman Carey plays in the movie.

Carey said it was her stylist Andrew Mukamal who pitched the idea to Balenciaga, marking the first time the fashion house has remade a look from its archives for the red carpet.

Carey’s Oscar gown was the pinnacle of her vintage awards season wardrobe, having dazzled in recreations from Schiaparelli and Dior at the Golden Globes and BAFTAs respectively.

And she was delighted with the vintage cut of her Balenciaga gown, describing it as ‘the most incredible shape and so classic, but feels really modern. It just feels amazing to wear, and not constrictive; I’m not going to be sitting there holding my breath for three hours.’

The star was happy her glam squad could accompany her to the red carpet, with the group arriving in a party bus, so Carey could remain upright and not crease the gown, with tunes blasting.

Her arrival was in stark contrast to the 2021 ceremony, the last Oscars red carpet she walked, with Covid restrictions meaning she was only permitted to bring her husband Marcus Mumford.

‘[He] was in charge of everything: he had to make sure the dress was laid out nicely; he was texting my hair and make-up team. He was incredibly stressed,’ she told Vogue.

Carey lost out on the Best Actress Oscar on Sunday night to Emma Stone, who scooped the win for her role in Poor Things. 

It’s awards season and that means one thing: eagle-eyed fashion fans are watching the events as intently as movie buffs.

For some viewers, seeing what the A-listers choose to wear as they strut down the red carpet is just as important as seeing who picked up the gong.

And two actors who get a lot of attention – much of it unwanted – for their ensembles are Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt.

The two theater makers opted for a trend that upset some fashionistas – with one even wondering if their dresses had fallen victim to the dreaded ‘wardrobe malfunction’.

And the feature in question is “floating straps,” a design where the stars wore dresses with the shoulder straps placed several inches above their shoulders instead of resting on top.

Best Supporting Actress nominee Emily Blunt may not have won her category, but she did appear on several best-dressed lists, thanks to her champagne-colored, beaded Schiaparelli dress with floating shoulders.

Stylist Jessica Paster, who helped Emily choose the dress, shared Vanity fair: ‘Did I know that people started talking over their shoulders? Absolute. Do I care what anyone else has to say? Absolutely not.’

Jessica added: ‘At the end of the day she looked absolutely beautiful. It was such a beautiful dress.’

She also noted that she was surprised to see Florence Pugh wearing a similar detail on her silver Del Core dress, as she “thought” [Blunt] would be the first to wear it [the floating shoulder]’.

While the stylist may have liked the details, it was surprisingly controversial among some viewers, who shared their negative thoughts on social media.

One Instagrammer said: ‘I thought it was a wardrobe malfunction.’

And an X user (formerly Twitter) wrote: ‘The floating bands need to go. one of the worst trends in years. I just want to push them all DOWN.”

Another said: ‘Why are Emily Blunt’s dress straps just floating in the air?’

In a similar vein, another commenter wrote, “What’s going on with Emily’s top dress straps? They look like they’re floating.’

Meanwhile, another wrote: ‘Apparently there are floating straps in there?’

However, a small minority of viewers seemed to be fans of the trend and shared positive thoughts about the new look.

One wrote: ‘I didn’t know what to think at first… but I love Emily Blunt and Flo Pugh’s floating shoulder straps.’

And another added: ‘OMG FLOATING BANDS OF BEAUTIFULNESS. Charlize! I live!’

Additionally, Emily’s figure-hugging sequined Schiaparelli couture gown faced a backlash due to the dress’s quirky, bejeweled Y-front.

Emily’s stylist Jessica Paster took offense to fans who said the girth of the underwear ‘ruined the whole look’ when she shared photos on Instagram.

She replied: ‘because you have absolutely no refined taste.’

When another criticized: ‘I just think this is too cool a dress for her and the glamor didn’t help’, Jessica hit back: ‘I didn’t see you on the red carpet???’.

The cream-colored dress was covered in sequins and had gravity-defying straps, but as Emily walked the red carpet, all viewers could talk about was the beaded outline of a pair of Y-fronts on her dress and the bizarre shoulders.

One wrote: ‘Is Emily Blunt wearing the tight white men’s underwear dress? Yes she is’, while another said: ‘thanks Emily Blunt for bringing back the handball goalkeeper jockstrap’.

Others said: ‘Why does Emily Blunt’s dress have rhinestone fronts?’ and “Emily Blunt’s dress has shopping bag handles for shoulder straps.”

“Emily Blunt wearing that dress makes me miss Joan Rivers and Fashion Police. Joan would have made great jokes.”

‘What’s going on with Emily Blunt’s dress? Miranda Priestly frowns.’

Jessica has been a stylist for over twenty years and has dressed a number of stars, including Eva Longoria, Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston, for major red carpet events such as the Emmys, Golden Globes and the Met Gala.

Cate Blanchett once raved about her when she said, “The great thing about Jessica is [her ability] to inhabit the fashion world and be human and real.”

Emily’s film Oppenheimer won a whopping seven Oscars at Sunday night’s Academy Awards, while rival Barbie won just one.

The two actors weren’t the only ones looking unusual: Also sporting modernist ensembles, Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski pulled out all the stops for the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.

Kim opted for a sculptural white satin dress from Balenciaga for the ‘do at the Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills.

However, the 43-year-old mother of four contrasted the ultra-modern dress with a classic cosmetic look.

She styled her hair in waves, stunning in an old Hollywood style, and then finished her look with a smokey eye and nude lip.

Also dressed in a futuristic dress was Emily Ratajkowski, 32, by French fashion label Jacquemus.

Emily posed sideways and showed off the backless gown, which had an unusual asymmetrical bodice.

The bodice tilted slightly to the left and almost seemed to detach from her figure.

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.

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.’

Kim Kardashian leidde zondag de aankomsten naar de Balenciaga-show tijdens Paris Fashion Week.

Het icoon, 43, pronkte met haar zandloperlichaam in een nauwsluitende zwarte kanten jurk terwijl ze een storm trotseerde.

Ze zag er geweldig uit in het chique model dat haar taille nauwsluitend vormde en had een sexy laag uitgesneden rugontwerp.

Kim droeg haar donkere lokken in een slanke paardenstaart en koos voor een typisch glamoureuze make-uplook voor het evenement.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s vriendin, supermodel Vittoria Ceretti, 25, was ook aanwezig en droeg een enorme witte jas met ruches.

Het komt nadat Kim eerder dit jaar door fans werd bekritiseerd nadat ze had onthuld dat ze ambassadeur voor Balenciaga is geworden, een jaar nadat het merk te maken kreeg met controverse vanwege een advertentie met kinderen en BDSM-artikelen.

De reality-tv-ster kondigde in januari haar samenwerking met het label aan, onder leiding van creatief directeur Demna Gvasalia.

De moeder van vier kinderen weigerde eerder de banden met het modehuis te verbreken, maar zei dat ze ‘geschokt en walgend’ was door de beelden die tot verzet tegen het merk leidden.

Na de aankondiging van haar nieuwe samenwerking waren veel fans teleurgesteld door de beslissing en kwamen terug op haar verklaring, waarin ze schreef dat haar relatie met het merk was gebouwd op een ‘toewijding om te doen wat goed is’.

‘Van alle merken moest ze het merk kiezen met beschuldigingen van kindermisbruik. Maar niet eens verrast…’ schreef de een, terwijl een ander haar als een ‘hypocriet’ bestempelde en eraan toevoegde: ‘Geld is het enige dat voor haar telt.’

Een andere persoon beschuldigde Kim ervan haar ‘moraal uit het raam te gooien’ voor geld, terwijl iemand anders eraan toevoegde: ‘Alles voor geld en een hoger vermogen, denk ik.’

‘Waar zal ze al het geld en de roem bewaren als ze weg is?’

‘Dus we zijn dat kinderbondage-gedoe vergeten? lol’, vroeg een commentator.

‘Maar Kim, dit bedrijf doet alles behalve wat goed is’, voegde een ander toe met verwijzing naar haar verklaring.

De reacties bleven binnenstromen, en een andere vroeg: ‘Dus Kim vergat gewoon wat Balenciaga met de kinderen adverteerde?’ K.’

‘Heeft ze niets geleerd?’ vroeg iemand anders.

‘Zelfs na het schandaal?’ vroeg een andere Twitter-gebruiker.

Eén opmerking luidde simpelweg: ‘Meisje… Gênant.’

Anderen spraken de oprichter van SKIMS aan vanwege hypocriet gedrag: ‘Dus eigenlijk zei ze f**k Balenciaga toen ze kritiek kregen, maar nu het veilig is voor haar merk is ze terug?’

Vele anderen hadden kritiek op het merk en noemden het ‘vuilnis’ en ‘geannuleerd’.

Kim’s volledige verklaring over haar ambassadeurschap voor het merk luidde: ‘De ontwerpen van Balenciaga maken al een aantal jaren deel uit van mijn vele looks – en van enkele van mijn meest iconische modemomenten.’

‘Dit historische modehuis omarmt moderniteit, vakmanschap en hanteert een innovatieve benadering van design onder Demna.’

‘Voor mij is deze langdurige relatie gebaseerd op wederzijds vertrouwen en de toewijding om te doen wat goed is. Ik ben enthousiast over dit volgende hoofdstuk voor het merk en om hun ambassadeur te worden.’

Kardashian speelde eerder in Balenciaga-campagnes, liep in hun show en vergezelde Demna naar het Met Gala van 2021.

In november 2022 kwam het modehuis onder vuur te liggen nadat het een advertentie had uitgebracht waarin kinderen poseerden naast verschillende items met een BDSM-thema.

Kim kreeg aanvankelijk te maken met terugslag omdat ze weigerde de banden met het merk te verbreken en prees de manier waarop het met het schandaal omging, ondanks dat ze beweerde ‘geschokt’ en ‘walgelijk’ te zijn door de beelden.

Sindsdien heeft ze haar loyaliteit duidelijk gemaakt door deel te nemen aan een advertentie voor de aankomende zomercollectie van Balenciaga voor 2024.

Duidelijk in verlegenheid gebracht door hun slecht beoordeelde campagne, nam Balenciaga de drastische stap om zijn sociale mediapagina’s schoon te vegen.

‘Ik ben de afgelopen dagen stil geweest, niet omdat ik niet geschokt en verontwaardigd ben door de recente campagnes van Balenciaga, maar omdat ik de kans wilde krijgen om met hun team te spreken om voor mezelf te begrijpen hoe dit heeft kunnen gebeuren’, zei de woordvoerder. Dat zei de in Los Angeles geboren beroemdheid destijds in een verklaring op haar Instagram-pagina.

Ze vervolgt: ‘Als moeder van vier kinderen ben ik geschokt door die verontrustende beelden. De veiligheid van kinderen moet met de hoogste achting worden gerespecteerd en alles wat daartegen in strijd is, mag geen plaats hebben in onze samenleving.’

Vervolgens bracht ze de verklaring opnieuw uit, waarin een deel van de bewoordingen werd veranderd in krachtiger taalgebruik, en voegde eraan toe: ‘elke poging om kindermisbruik van welke aard dan ook te normaliseren zou geen plaats moeten hebben in onze samenleving – punt uit.’

Per saldo zei Kardashian echter dat ze zich op haar gemak voelt met de manier waarop het bedrijf op het schandaal reageerde.

‘Ik waardeer Balenciaga’s verwijdering van de campagnes en excuses. Door met hen te praten, denk ik dat ze de ernst van de kwestie begrijpen en de nodige maatregelen zullen nemen om ervoor te zorgen dat dit nooit meer zal gebeuren.’

In een aanvullende post op zowel Instagram als Twitter zei Kardashian dat ze haar relatie met het modemerk aan het heroverwegen was, maar nog niet veel definitieve beslissingen had genomen.

‘Wat mijn toekomst bij Balenciaga betreft, ben ik momenteel mijn relatie met het merk opnieuw aan het evalueren, waarbij ik deze baseer op hun bereidheid om verantwoordelijkheid te aanvaarden voor iets dat nooit had mogen gebeuren – en de acties die ik verwacht dat ze zullen ondernemen om kinderen te beschermen.’

Ze werd op beroemde wijze voorgesteld aan Balenciaga Creative Director Demna door haar ex, Kanye West, terwijl de dochters van het stel ook het merk droegen, nadat ze onlangs waren gespot met tassen van het merk met vier cijfers.

Ze erkende de rol die haar ex-man in de relatie had gespeeld in december 2021 toen ze sprak op de People’s Choice Awards, waar ze een prijs voor mode in ontvangst nam.

‘Aan Kanye, omdat ze mij echt kennis heeft laten maken met de modewereld’, zei ze. ‘Ik werd verliefd op mode en ik ben zo geïnspireerd door zoveel mensen. Maar nogmaals, dit is als een droom waarin ik wakker word en deze geweldige kleren draag, nieuwe dingen probeer en een risico neem. Ik ben zo nederig.’

Destijds, Mode beschreef het als ‘het hoogtepunt van Kardashian’s Balenciaga-moment.’

Balenciaga is eigendom van Kering; het bedrijf is ook eigenaar van Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Yves Saint Laurent en Creed.

Balenciaga verontschuldigde zich publiekelijk en kondigde aan dat het de advertentie van al zijn socialemediaprofielen zal verwijderen.

‘Wij bieden onze oprechte excuses aan voor de overtreding die onze vakantiecampagne mogelijk heeft veroorzaakt. Onze pluchen berentassen hadden in deze campagne niet met kinderen mogen worden getoond. We hebben de campagne onmiddellijk van alle platforms verwijderd’, deelde het luxe luxehuis op Instagram.

Linda Evangelista cut a chic figure in all black as she attended the Yves Saint Laurent runway show during Paris Fashion Week.

The nineties supermodel, 58, wore a fabulous oversized double-breasted black blazer with dramatic lapels.

She paired the custom-made garment with a sheer top, a thin black scarf and sexy sheer tights, which showed off her toned legs.

Adding an inch to her statuesque figure, Linda teamed her stunning look with a pair of black and gold pointy-toed kitten smocks.

For accessories, she kept it simple with a small, shiny black clutch, simple gold earrings and dramatic blacked-out sunglasses.

Saint Laurent designer Anthony Vaccarello has shortened the label’s silhouettes for winter, wrapping models tightly in sheer silk dresses in muted colors for the runway show.

Models traversed the center of the set — two large, circular rooms with green curtains — in sky-high sling-back heels, revealing sheer layers of high-waisted underwear, sharply cut, elongating the thighs and accentuated with narrow straps.

There were sleeveless tops that wrapped around the neck, blouses and bustiers with bows, while skirts remained the same length – just below the knees.

“The length is classic, but the content is new,” read the show notes, tucked into envelopes left at each seat.

They also mentioned the famous ‘naked’ dress worn by Marilyn Monroe, as a reference for the designer.

Adding contrast to the fitted looks were furry coats made from ultra-light feathers, creating more voluminous silhouettes.

The collection was “brimming with combination,” said Simon Longland, purchasing director at London department store Harrods, noting that the “ladylike and conservative” style, however, produced a “slinky” appearance.

Paris Fashion Week runs through March 5, with upcoming shows from Chanel, Hermes, Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton.

It comes after Linda, who was once considered one of the most beautiful and striking beauties in the world, discussed the guilt she once felt after undergoing a surgical procedure.

Speak with the times, she discussed how he noticed that before the procedure she was always having fun and always laughing.

But after that, she says, she was a “clinically depressed recluse,” only venturing out at night where no one would see her.

The treatment consisted of seven sessions of a non-surgical procedure called CoolSculpting, which aimed to freeze away fat from her jawline, thighs, abdomen and back.

It had gone terribly wrong and instead it had thickened and “grown into hard, numb bulges that rounds of liposuction and weeks of full-body compression garments couldn’t fix.”

According to the Times, it was a comment from Linda’s son Augie a few years ago that encouraged her to return to therapy so she could become the cheerful character she always was.

He said, ‘Do you remember when you were so cute? Do you remember when you always laughed?’ This was a ‘wake-up call’

Linda has struggled with a number of issues, including breast cancer, for which she underwent a double mastectomy in 2018, but will have to undergo radiotherapy in 2018.

She added, “I was like, I’m not having contractions anymore. I’m going to fucking fix this.’

A LUXURY fashion brand is selling a leather bag that looks like a giant packet of chips.

And the price tag is just as enormous: an eye-watering £1,350.

The bags, from the Spanish brand Balenciaga, are available in three color-coordinated variants: salt and vinegar, cheese and onion and spicy chili.

The 30 by 20 cm clutch with zipper is made of washable calfskin.

It’s part of a range that also includes a £2,490 creation that resembles a £1.50 Morrison’s bag for life.

Also made of calfskin, available in two versions, one with strawberries and one with asparagus.

In 2022, Balenciaga produced a handbag that resembled a giant pack of Lays chips.

They also produced a $3,000 bag that looked like a garbage bag and was modeled by Kim Kardashian.

Kim showed off the bag on her Instagram Stories: “How cool is this?

“I love this garbage bag.”

It has also offered a £1,000 bag, similar to one from Iceland, for life.
