Kim Kardashian steals the show in Paris

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!

Well done Kim

Kardashian’s booty meanwhile, has a cult following all of its own. A booty in the true sense of the word, many have said that it’s contributed to the big bum trend that’s reshaping the world of fashion right now. We’re no longer in the late 90’s; skinny butts are out and big, curvaceous booties are well and truly in.

Kardashian Posts Two Internet Changing Snaps

The trend is unlikely to die down any time soon, as Kardashian recently went to extra pains to show off her bum to the world. As part of her goal to ‘break the internet’ (no idea what that even means), Mrs Kanye West took the time last week to post snaps from her photo shoot for the cover of Paper Magazine.

Among the host of pretty graphic pictures, there are two that immediately stick with you. For the first, Kardashian lowers her gown to sit underneath her bum, and show off her back and derrière. In the second, she shows off her best party trick, by balancing a champagne glass on her behind, whilst a stream of the luxurious tipple flows into said glass over her head.

The Internet Went Absolutely Stark Raving Crazy

Astounding. Absolutely, positively astounding. The pictures, whatever you think of the reality TV icon, are a sight to behold. She looks fantastic, glamourous and ready to take on the world. And yes, she certainly succeeded in her mission to break the internet.

Social Media sites practically went into overdrive once the pictures were released. She posted the stills on her Twitter and Instagram accounts, captioning them "and they say I didn't have a talent...try balancing a champagne glass on your ass LOL." Both sites, as well as Facebook, Pinterest etc. preceded to go absolutely stark raving crazy.
