Reality TV star Kim
Kardashian-West is one of the most famous fashion icons on earth. Everywhere
she goes, Kim attracts the spotlight and sparks tabloid headlines. It should
come as no surprise then, that Kim absolutely stole the show at the Balmain
Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017 event.
Turning heads
Kim Kardashian is rapidly becoming
a style icon. As an example, remember when Kim
unveiled a new ‘do, dying her luscious brunette locks vivid blond? Kim’s
radical hair change made headlines the world over, showing just how much
influence she has on the global fashion scene right now.
Kim Kardashian also has something
of a penchant for shocking people. Who can forget the time Kim
broke the internet by showing off her famous derrière on the cover of Paper
Magazine? We especially loved that shot of Kim in a sequined black dress,
popping a Champagne bottle which flowed over her head and onto her booty. So
what happens when you combine Kim’s chic style with her love of shocking
people? We found out at the recent Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week.
Stealing the spotlight
Established in 1946, Balmain is
one of France’s most respected Fashion Houses. Balmain’s Paris Fashion Week
Spring/Summer 2017 jungle-themed show was a sight to behold, according
to Vogue. During the event, top models like Gigi Hadid rocked a range of
ultra-cool trends, from asymmetrical bra-tops and jewel-toned snake prints, to
daring cut-out dresses and rainbow crocheted pieces.
But while the Balmain event was a
triumph, attendee Kim Kardashian stole the show. Kim was seated on the front
row (obviously) of the Balmain display, between mum/manager Kris Jenner,
sister/co-star Kourtney Kardashian and CR Fashion Book Editor-In-Chief Carine
Roitfield. All four women sported glamorous looks at Balmain, but only Kim managed
to generate more headlines than the event itself.
Why? Kim rocked up to the Balmain
showcase wearing what USA
Today describes as “a metallic, loosely-knit dress that left little
for the imagination to keep up with.” Daring, yet totally on trend, Kim’s
risqué fishnet, floor-length number, which she teamed with killer black wedges,
totally worked!
