No Kim Kardashian outfit would be complete without something skin-tight, eccentric or completely unexpected.
Living up to her reputation in the sartorial department, she shared a new video from her latest campaign with Spanish label Balenciaga, and her bizarre pantaboots are redefining fashion’s favourite ‘no trousers’ trend.

From Kendall Jenner in a poplin shirt and loafers to Maya Jama in a blazer and tights, the trend – which dominated the AW23 runways – swiftly made its way onto mainstream sartorial agendas, and the A-listers are proving the look isn’t going anywhere for 2024.

It’s a rare occasion that we see Kim K wearing the same outfit twice, but she also wore her head-turning leggings to Balenciaga’s Fall 2024 fashion show in Los Angeles last December. For her seat on the FROW, she paired them with a zip-up hoodie and an Erewhon shopping bag – a look that epitomised ‘high-low dressing’ to the highest levels.
Though Nicola Peltz and Devon Lee Carson joined the Balenciaga family just a few weeks ago as part of the same campaign, Kim has been a longstanding ambassador of the brand that faced major backlash in 2022 after a campaign that sparked major controversy.
Kim is pioneering fashion trends once again and we are utterly in awe.
