Kim Kardashian Wows in a Back-Cutout Gown For Balenciaga's New Campaign

Kim Kardashian and Balenciaga have had a year of synergy, and today that relationship shows no signs of slowing down. Balenciaga released its Winter 2022 campaign on Aug. 31, with Kardashian front and center. The beauty mogul has been an ambassador for the house for quite some time, spearheading some of its biggest trends: the Pantaleggings , the Le Cagole bag , the hybrid bodysuit dress, and the catsuit . The campaign also stars fellow Balenciaga muse " Euphoria "'s Alexa Demie .

Kim Kardashian Puts a Camo Twist on the Barbiecore Trend

Image Source: Getty / Stefanie Keenan Kim Kardashian and Balenciaga are a match made in heaven, with Kardashian recently named the face of the brand and strutting down the runway at Paris Haute Couture Week . Her most recent Balenciaga look, however, is a slight departure from her usual pantaleggings and catsuits . In an Instagram Reel , the Skims founder posted herself wearing a skintight one-shoulder minidress, highlighting her curves and showing off the pink-camo look from every angle. The print of the dress immediately brought to mind nostalgic "Cadet Kelly" vibes, but Kardashian felt the outfit looked more Mattel than Disney, writing, "Balenci Barbie 💕" in her caption. Playing off the Barbiecore vibes, Kardashian wore her bleach-blond hair in a dramatic updo with the front pieces curled. She accessorized with a black micro purse and, in true Barbie fashion, wore heels with a transparent plastic strap. Fundamentally, the Barbiecore trend is all about c...

Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj & Other Stars at the VMAs Afterparty

The 2022 MTV Video Music Awards delivered in high-octane celebrity-style moments and tech-powered performances. For the most part, the high-adrenaline fashion and music moments (think back to Britney Spears handling a snake in a Kurt and Bart bra top and low-rise shorts in 2001) it's known for were amiss, but there were a few red carpet appearances that stole the show.

In all honesty, I'm entirely new to the loafer trend . I've oohed and ahhed over them on Instagram and TikTok time and time again, but I never actually added them to my shopping cart.

Britney Spears's 2001 VMAs Look and Performance Will Forever Be Iconic

Britney Spears made fashion and music history when she performed at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards wearing a green bra and low-rise embellished shorts. The singer was just 19 years old when she sang "I'm a Slave 4 U" in an embellished two-piece set while holding a 25-pound, albino Burmese python. Almost 21 years later, that memory hasn't faded. Spears took the stage in a rich-green, cutout bra top with pink jewels adorning the center and straps. Putting her belly piercing on full display, she paired it with low-rise shorts accentuated with a bedazzled butterfly motif and bejeweled detailing at the waist.
