Kim Kardashian Revives Her Hot Pink Balenciaga Tradition During Paris Couture Week
Kim Kardashian referenced her longtime collaboration with Demna through her outfit while visiting Balenciaga's Paris headquarters on Tuesday. Ahead of the fashion house's fall 2025 couture presentation, which will take place on Wednesday, Kardashian sported a monochromatic look in hot pink — a formula that Kardashian and Balenciaga have used together many times before.
Kardashian wore a pink dress from Balenciaga's fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection. The ensemble, inspired by swimwear, featured a formfitting bodysuit-like top with a deep plunging neckline and cutout detail at the torso. It transitioned into a floor-length skirt with a generous side slit. Kardashian styled the piece with Balenciaga's signature pantaboots, which were made famous by her.

The socialite has a tradition of wearing the brand's signature hot pink outfits. While hosting 'Saturday Night Live' in 2021, the reality star sported three different pink outfits by Balenciaga, including the viral catsuit seen during her opening monologue. In November 2022, Kardashian was thinking pink again, wearing a cutout dress by Balenciaga to attend the Baby2Baby Gala red carpet. In November 2023, she wore another hot pink dress from the brand at the LACMA Art + Film. The Skims' cofounder has also shared multiple monochromatic pink outfits by Balenciaga on her Instagram stories over the years.
Announced as an ambassador for Balenciaga in January 2024, Kardashian has attended many shows from the brand. She also walked its couture runway in 2022 and attended the Met Gala in New York with alongside Demna, who will depart from Balenciaga after its fall 2025 couture show. The designer was announced as Gucci's next creative director in March.
'For several years now, Balenciaga's designs have been a part of my many looks — and some of my most iconic fashion moments,' Kardashian said in a statement in 2024, following her announcement as a Balenciaga ambassador. 'This historic fashion house embraces modernity, craftsmanship and takes an innovative approach to design under Demna. For me, this longstanding relationship is built on mutual trust and a commitment to doing what's right. I'm excited about this next chapter for the brand and to become their ambassador,' she added.
