Kim Kardashian’s appearance on the runway for Balenciaga’s latest Paris presentation has become a focal point of online discussion, with critics targeting her unconventional walk. The 44-year-old entrepreneur modeled a white lace slip dress paired with a dramatic fur coat, accessorized with a striking black bob hairstyle and significant jewelry. Yet, it was her deliberate, measured pace down the catwalk that drew the most pointed commentary from viewers.
Social media platforms were quickly filled with reactions, with some users suggesting her walk lacked the typical precision associated with professional models. One observer likened her demeanor to that of someone reluctantly answering a door, while another joked about her seeming unpreparedness. A more pointed critique speculated about the nature of her participation in the show.
Amidst the criticism, some noted the historical significance of her diamond accessories, which were once owned by the late actress Elizabeth Taylor. Her runway cameo was reportedly a gesture marking the final collection by the brand’s creative director, Demna Gvasalia.
The fashion show appearance followed another headline-making moment for Kardashian upon her arrival at the venue, where she was photographed with her phone screen visible, displaying an image of herself in a pink outfit from the previous day.
Kardashian has served as a brand ambassador for Balenciaga, though her relationship with the fashion house has been complex. She previously issued a public statement condemning a controversial advertising campaign by the label, emphasizing her concerns as a parent and calling for greater accountability regarding the protection of children.
