SKIMS is arguably the best company Kim Kardashian ever created. It started out as purely smart shapewear for all body types and all skin colors, but she’s expanded it to sleepwear, loungewear and activewear. SKIMS is already worth more than $1.6 billion on paper, and Kim owns a big chunk of it. Plus, I guess her fragrance and makeup lines are doing well too, but not as well as SKIMS. Anyway, now that Kim has her “billion-dollar company,” she gets invited to sh-t like the Wall Street Journal’s Innovator Awards. This is the second time she’s been honored by the WSJ, to be fair. That staid old newspaper loves her.
These photos are of Kim heading out to the WSJ Innovators event. Interestingly enough, she’s wearing a piece from the new collaboration between SKIMS and Fendi. So this is a SkimsXFendi leather dress and it is TIGHT. Physically tight, and I’m wonder if it is comfortable at all. Apparently, the dress did break before she got on stage to accept the WSJ Brand Innovator award, and she had to thank Fendi designer Kim Jones for helping her out. Yeah… that’s not a great advertisement for the collaboration, actually. “Buy SkimsXFendi, the expensive dress is uncomfortably tight and you’ll have a wardrobe malfunction.”
Also: Pete Davidson is back in New York too, and he and Kim just held hands in LA. Page Six got trolled by making a big deal over the fact that Kim flew in to “Pete Davidson’s native New York” yesterday.

That thing looks painful
Doesn’t it, though? I can’t decide which part would hurt more, the squishing in of the breasts or the cutting in at the waist. I wouldn’t even want to try it on. Plus, wow, that’s a lot of brown!
It looks uncomfortable and too-tight but also better than a lot of other things she has worn. I actually really like that warm brown color on her, and the actual lines/silhouette of the dress are pretty flattering. Huh. I feel weird now that i don’t hate something she is wearing. LOL.
I was going to say something similar – the dress isn’t awful, I like the cut of it though I’d prefer it without gloves and maybe a wee bit shorter. Unfortunately it’s way too small / tight so it’s all kind of a moot point.
I know what you are saying Becks1! I recall a black dress that I liked on her a few years ago. She looked so nice, but usually she looks like she is in bondage.
I really want a pair of leather pants, but stories like this don’t fill me with much confidence about the practicality of the material.
I have a few pairs of leather pants and I love them. Just try them on and pick a size and cut that makes you feel comfortable, they really don’t have to be tight, just fitting… After a while they will mould themselves after your natural curves, and they’ll be quite warm and cozy in winter.
Leather or pleather or vegan leather whatever are amazing in the winter – cuts that winds right out and keeps you warm – especially when it’s lined with soft fabric on the inside.
I already had a skirt, I now have the legging, the jogger and I ordered the shorts lol. the shorts are not gonna be that warm though lol …the skirt either. lol
I do not have the bladder for a dress like that.. sorry.😳
It doesn’t look very comfortable but the styling is very sleek.
It looks like she lost her eyebrows and had them tatooed back on. I’m also not a fan of the eye make-up – it makes her eyes look smaller. I find everything she wears to be too much of a costume and it almost always looks like it came from the cheapest store at the mall. I just don’t get it.
It looks like she’s wrapped in a leather turd.
Cue Mr. Hanky the Christmas poo for a late night hookup.
I kind of like the dress, but not the gloves. But yeah, the dress busting doesn’t sound good.
I know they do it for the publicity, but it would be nice if awards and honors like that went to actually innovators, not people who slap their name on something, and people who have really been working to make something that improves the world.
I mean it’s a lot better than those skintight pale pink latex dresses she used to wear, but that’s not saying much. Also I dunno if my whole thing was shapewear I would probably wear a stunning dress in a fabric/style I could have shapewear on under, instead of a plastic tube where there is no need.
She must be doing a hand treatment of sorts – like skin replacement or something macabre & “cosmetic”
That’s a good point. It’s weird that she’s wearing gloves every time she’s photographed lately.
I normally think Kim looks great in anything she wears but I don’t like this at all….and her makeup looks extra ghoulish.
@Abby: Her makeup is all I can focus on in those pictures. It’s all a problem, but her base is what I can’t look away from à la a car accident: her foundation is too light, the contouring is out of control, and it looks as if there is an entire ounce of powder on her skin. It’s not great.
The dress I like in theory, but it’s two sizes too small and the styling is all wrong – but I always think her styling is all wrong, so that’s not anything new.
The highlighter under her eyes is too aggressive and it’s aging. I think this is also too matte.
I agree, Tiffany. I mean, makeup “has no rules” but that big baked triangle of banana concealer under the eye is oooveeerrrr. (It also makes the eyes look so much smaller!) I get what Abby’s saying about this contour being dour, too. I always liked “strobing” (that’s when you use highlight only, no shadow), and I think some golden illumination would look lifted and autumnal.
She, like all the others in her family, got her nose chopped too small. Doesn’t go with her face.
Well, it’s Kim, so add several inches to get to whatever this dress is supposed to look like in real life. Not sure what her right boob did to deserve being squashed flat like that.
I’m sorry but it looks like she stripped a couch of its leather and repurposed it into that dress.
Real leather clothing is comfortable, IMO. I have dresses, skirts and a pair of cigarette pants that I’d choose over jeans any day of the week. I think the problem with Kim’s dress is that it’s two sizes too small.
I would be sweating so badly that I would have a tough time getting it off.
Same!
I can’t believe I am saying this, but I love her return to her Kim ridiculous style and away from Kanye’s planet Mars style. But yes that dress looks like a torture device.

Huh, I was going to say it doesn’t look like her taste in fashion has improved since separating from Kanye. Looks like he is still telling her what to wear.
She deserves an award for all the times she manages to look serene despite organ crowding and minimal oxygen intake.
Her contour and bake is so obvious , her make up at least is usually spot on . Caricature like but perfect.
The dress is ridiculous and a tad bit in your face with the clearly I don’t have to navigate the world like the rest of the peasants .
Everything she wears looks uncomfortable. Too tight! She’s probably sweating rivers under that ugliness…
I can’t believe I am saying this, but I love it. I don’t love the boots.
It’s too tight, but it’s definitely Fendi. I love it, too.
Her excessive makeup style and facial surgeries/fillers are so ageing to the point where she looks older than her eldest sister Kourtney now. Ironically she was the most beautiful sister in her natural state and needed no enhancements. A lighter, more subtle touch would have served her well over the years.
I predict a Wildenstein in the future, you can see it happening.
In my opinion, the outfit looks uncomfortable and tacky. Her face looks so frozen, that she is starting to look like a walking mannequin. I have little respect for anyone in this family. But, they are their mother’s daughters.
I think the gloves need to either match the dress colour exactly or be more different. They look like “we got as close as we could” but she’s way too rich for that
Yes! That was weird.
Just to point out the obvious: Leather is so cruel and the industry is not eco-friendly. I would never wear it.
The way this dress is cut and styled is extreme, probably on purpose because it’s Kim. It’s very her but who would ever go out like this with the long leather gloves and the boots? She can’t get away from her trashy side. She is beautiful of course, but looks a little different in the face.
Something positive — Skims does have great loungewear, lovely slips and separates.
Too tight and too long- she has a habit of wearing styles too long for her stature which end up making her look stubby. And the boots are FUG with it.
Doesn’t she have a skin disease? Maybe she had a last minute flair up cause the thing that bothers me the most about this look is the GLOVES NOT MATCHING!! lol
The dress looks hella uncomfortable, but Kim doesn’t care about comfort. She married Kanye, remember? I doubt he gave her much comfort in that marriage. To be fair, I doubt she gave him much comfort either.
I don’t love the dress but I would take it over the makeup. Not liking that makeup job at all. Not fresh and not flattering.
