It’s been two and a half years since Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris hotel/apartment. It was in early fall 2016 when a group of armed gunmen infiltrated her hotel suite, tied her up and stole all her jewelry. Kim was traumatized for months. She swore she would be different after that. And she was different… for a while. She stopped with the paparazzi extravaganza, especially when she was traveling. She stopped wearing big jewelry for a long time. And then… time passed. She eventually returned to Paris. Her robbers were eventually caught. She even began exposing herself in all kinds of ways on social media and on the carpet.
So, Kim returned to Paris this week. These are photos of her arrival at her hotel, which was extensively documented by the paparazzi. She wore head-to-toe Azzedine Alaïa. The leopard print – or cheetah print – catsuit and trench coat is vintage, from the Fall 1991 Azzedine Alaïa collection. The boots are Alaïa as well, and I feel like they’re the worst part. Like, she was aiming for Cruella de Vil but the boots make the ensemble look like Snooki. It costs a lot to look this cheap though – the whole ensemble costs more than $10K.
Strangely, Kim is already documenting her return to Paris on social media. This makes me so uncomfortable – her social media was how the armed robbers were able to target her so precisely in 2016.

Cheap…
Leopard print…onesies….
It’s been done…
It’s been DONE TO DEATH!
And you CURRENTLY see it all over the place…which really doesn’t even make it standout as a “throwback”…
Fashion Nova….eat your heart out!!!!!!!
I recently wore something very similar to that because my husband told me to stop buying animal prints because they look cheap.
I sure showed him! Lol
CHEAP! proof that stupid celebs will wear anything, including the MOST UGGO stuff, if it has a brand name and costs a lot.
but I’ve always thought that leopard print clothing is cheap looking. handbags, gloves, etc are OK but any actual clothing item is just ugly and (yes) cheap/tacky.
PS – you can see that this onesie is a bit too tight in places for her. you can see that the fabric is stretched to the point that the color is “faded” across her chest and thighs/butt.
Animal print is a little tacky, but it can be fun as an accent color. It takes a hell of a lot of personality to pull it off as a full outfit, though, which Kim doesn’t have – or at least mistakes the 70% post-consumer recycled content in her body a personality.
veronica, yes, to the “accent color”…that’s what I meant when I said handbag/gloves.
also agree with the “hell of a lot of personality” qualifier. IMO, there aren’t many people who could pull this off…Grace Jones could, though. talk about personality!
You’re right, Veronica. I have a friend who just always knows how to pull an outfit together. She always looks stunning. She gave a speech at an industry conference recently, and wore a black shift, black blazer, court shoes, chignon an a leopard print scarf. She looked classic and classy, something Kim will never be able to pull off, but I doubt she wants to. My insomnia is raging again, so flipping channels, I caught an episode of “Snog Marry Avoid”. It was utterly ridiculous, of course, but I did wonder how Kim would fare on it…

Cheap, cheap, cheap and tacky.
🐣 🐣 🐣 So bloody tacky. It’s a “brand”, and it’s really expensive, and yet she still manages to look pitiful. What a bogan.
80s rocker Aldo Nova wore a leopard-print onesie way better in his “Fantasy” video.
I hope neither Don Jr nor Eric Trump are in Paris cuz they might mistake her for big game and try to bag her as a trophy.
LOL!
Ha!
You win!
Ha ha
Dying.
Hideous.
Also, short of putting her hair in dreadlocks, I don’t think she could have “blacked” herself up any more if she tried. She and Kanye deserve each other.
Right?
She looks like she could literally be a light-skinned African-American woman. To appropriate black culture and looks any more than this is impossible.
Thought it was Mel B from thumbnail!
I’m sure she beilieves marrying that knob, Kanye, allowed her to become a WOC via osmosis, so doesn’t see herself as an appropriator of his culture. She wanted it, she earned, she deserves it so she took it. She makes me sick.
@VeronicaS How DOES she get away with such blatant blaxploitation? She’s becoming full-on Rachel Dolzeal. Unbelievably offensive.
Exactly! I’m getting so tired of these women who darken their skin and plump their lips and asses and get praised as trendsetters. Where was this praise for these features when I was getting made fun of for being a “half breed” or being told my lips were too big? Even compliments mostly come with fetish undertones or qualifiers.
So easy to be black when you can just wash it off if it causes you grief.
Rant over lol
It is not ok to darken your skin tone like this. And she knows what she is doing. She didn’t just get tan or something – it looks like an African American woman. Not only is this appropriation, blacksploitation, but it is also a disgrace to all the efforts people are making to help everyone feel more accepted in their own skin. She’ll probably claim that her daughter loved her look so she had to do it, like her comment about the braids. She’s pathetic – using the fact that her children are bi-racial to dabble in this whenever the mood strikes. She makes me sick and I hope her children aren’t too terribly screwed up because of her parents’ endless parade of idiocy.
She makes me sick too. She literally looks black in these pics. Nothing wrong with being black, but she’s white! I’m white, married to a white man. I dont try to be black! She wants the street cred but would shit her pants if she had to deal w the racism minorities endure.
That don’t impress me much.
Niiiice one !
Yep, Shania did it better.
Also for UK Celebitches this look is very Beth Lynch on the cobbles.
Hahahaha…love it!
🤣😅😅😊
Good one!
ah, yes, I see now what Anna Wintour was talking about the other day, saying she really admires how Kim ‘has become a little bit more minimal in the way that she’s dressing and a little bit more covered.’ Yeah, I guess she IS covered.
Loving the Clueless reference.
That’s all.
I thought the exact same thing. As much as Anna wants to legitimize Kim, Kim is ALWAYS gonna Kim.
@Cherry “It’s like a totally important designer”.
Funny how much better (and more truthful) it sounded coming from Cher (Alicia Silverstone) in that gorgeous red dress than… Well… This.
It was already bad with the cheetah print, then I got to the boots. So tacky!
I love Alaia. But, no.
My girlspawn had jammies like that when she was 5.
Boots have a different pattern than the outfit and don’t go with it at all. That being said, the outfit would be hideous (to me) with or without the boots.
Coming soon from Disney – Cruella de Vil on Safari: The Instagram Years.
Tacky and cheap looking. Not at all surprised.
Also not surprised she’d all over social media again. Everyone in that family craves attention so badly, they’re willing to risk their safety to get it.
Animal print already looks cheap to me. Kim makes it look dollar store level.
I love this! It is so tacky!! I think it would have been better with some sexy heels, the boots are too clunky. And anytime I see Alaia I picture the scene in Clueless where Cher gets robbed and doesn’t want to get on the ground because it will ruin her Alaia dress, who is like, a really important designer.
*edit: I didn’t see Kim’s caption with the Clueless reference. Love it even more! It’s fun!
Awful, I now long for how pre Kanye Kim dressed
The total leopard look was never stylish and not even pretty.
Yesterday I saw a pic Kim is this mess, but thought it was a random pic from YEARS ago!
Khloe and Kylie have had all the attention of late, so previous robbery be damned, Kim’s has to get that spotlight BACK.
Edina Monsoon is watching her Lacroix stash, because Kims coming for that next!
I actually like it.
This is just so over the top and ridiculous. It unfortunate cuz leopard print can be done really well (it is considered a neutral) and is a huge trend for spring and summer this year. But KK just takes it over the top.
People and their lack of style and editing drive me crazy. *eyeroll*
She reminds me of the sage Dolly Parton line
“ It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!”
I think she’s posting a lot because now her security team must be extra tight. She ain’t dumb!
Forget the outfit, what the hell is that contour?
Creepy hand dipping into her purse in one of the shots seems odd considering her robbery.
She looks like a walking WWF Endangered Species poster.
Absoeffinglutely hideous.
Fug
Cheap’s not the word for this fug assembly.
FUG!! But I am coveting that pink velvet couch!
My daughter told me not to buy leopard print clothing. So I bought a very cute leopard print sleeveless top. So THERE!
The Payless boots and gloves are slightly lighter tone than the “ALAIA” …. would love to see the Ass of Doom uncovered. Like a cheetah ate a warthog and it’s digestive system shut down.
PS: Wow, she certainly got over her “life changing” robbery! I never bought that it wasn’t an inside job for publicity for a minute. Now I really don’t.
I love a little leopard print. This is not a little leopard print.
Cheap and tacky. Then again, anything with the Kardashians is cheap and tacky, it’s just heightened with the head to toe animal print.
I love it!
Mother of lord! I will have nightmares! What was she thinking?
I don’t think I’ve seen a picture of her where she didn’t look some kind of cheap in at least five years.
Oh wait till you see what she has on in tonight’s pictures….its some sort of leopard print body stocking with velvet “modesty” panels….sooo sooo bad
And hey Tristan has a new girl alteady LOL
She has so little self-awareness she doesn’t realize the entire world can see that it’s stretched to transparency and the spots are no longer round, they’re racetrack ovals.
“F^@k yo couch”. Rick James.
