If there's anyone you can count on to wear a bodycon dress, it's Kim Kardashian [1]. The reality star stayed true to her signature curve-hugging style as she stepped out for press day in New York City on 16 May. The Skims mogul nearly stopped traffic in yet another sultry street style moment — a black maxi jersey dress with multiple cutouts, exposing a faux-thong [2]. Sister Khloé also accompanied her for the Disney Upfront, where they presented "The Kardashians [3]," revealing Hulu's continuation of the reality series.
In line with her affinity for skin-revealing clothing, the mum-of-four's dress is from Gucci's Spring/Summer 2023 collection [4] (the same one that actress Dove Cameron wore just a month ago [5]), which is slightly reminiscent of the brand's iconic harness skirt [6] from the Spring/Summer 1998 collection by Tom Ford. The figure-flattering garment features a scoop neck, sculptural cutouts that cascade over the arms, and leather buckle straps at the hips, complete with the brand's signature GG hardware in silver. Styled by Danielle Levi [7], Kardashian finished the head-turning piece with black heels and her hair in a slicked-back ponytail with side-swept, wavy bangs.
It's no secret that Kardashian enjoys revisiting style trends of the past. Recently, the 42-year-old's embraced more casual ensembles, including her unexpected "I Love Nerds" sheer crop top [8] and jeans combination at a Los Angeles Lakers game, reminding us of the graphic tee's dominance in the 2010s and the vintage Diadora Roma 1997/98 jersey [9] she wore to daughter North's basketball game. She's also developed a reputation for dipping into the vaults of major fashion houses, including Versace [10], Roberto Cavalli [11], Jean Paul Gaultier [12], and Alexander McQueen [13]. From her controversial 2022 Met Gala dress [14] that Marilyn Monroe originally owned to purchasing Princess Diana's Attallah Cross pendant [15] at a Sotheby's London auction for $197,453, there's clearly no stopping Kardashian when it comes to archival fashion.
