CELEBRITY STYLE
It’s Kim Kardashian’s world and we’re all living in it. Whether she’s taking in Paris Fashion Week in couture or reclining on a sun lounger in Miami, the mogul can always be counted on to set a trend. But the looks that most excite eagle-eyed fashion enthusiasts? Her archival finds, of course.
From vintage Versace to a rare autumn/winter 1990 Azzedine Alaïa cheetah-print bodysuit with matching gloves, Kardashian’s wardrobe is a goldmine of fashion history. Alexander McQueen’s spring/summer 2003 Oyster dress? Check. An ice-blue Dior by John Galliano gown from spring/summer 2000? Absolutely. Then there was the moment she arrived at the 2022 Met Gala in the Jean Louis dress Marilyn Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F Kennedy.
As Kardashian celebrates her 46th birthday, revisit her most memorable vintage looks below.
