London Fashion Week isn’t usually on Kim Kardashian’s calendar, but this week brought a special occasion: the launch of her Skims London flagship store. Naturally, the night called for not one, not two, but three major looks, all built around a palette of fall neutrals. And of course, it was all very Kim K: body-conscious, glossy, and turned all the way up.
Kardashian began the evening at the store launch in Ludovic de Saint Sernin, wearing the label’s Mermaid Bi Dress in flesh-toned leather. The gown hugged her curves closely, with a grommet-studded bodice and a lace-up slit revealing a sheer underlay beneath. It was a fitting choice given Kardashian’s upcoming collaboration with the designer, set to launch October 1: a capsule that merges Skims’s shapewear foundations with Saint Sernin’s unapologetically sexy, party-ready signatures.
Later, she changed into chocolate brown, pairing a sculpted corset with belted and tie-up detailing with a hip-skimming maxi skirt. For her final appearance of the night, heading to the members’ club Maison Estelle for a late dinner with friends, Kardashian returned to nude—but with considerably more sparkle. She wore a crystal-studded halter crop top that exposed her abs, paired with a fitted maxi skirt that flared into a mermaid hem.
The glam stayed resolutely signature throughout. Her raven-dark brunette hair fell in soft waves, while a glossy nude-brown lip, warm sculpted contour, and smoked-out brown eye kept everything firmly within the Kardashian beauty lexicon.
The previous evening, Kardashian had been photographed out with boyfriend and Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton on a dinner date at Milos. While Hamilton stuck to his usual mix of louche tailoring and relaxed sportswear, Kardashian wore a nude long-sleeved Alaïa gown with leather straps crossing the bust and waist. The couple had previously been in Paris to see Céline Dion perform at her residency, following a trip to celebrity-favorite Lake Como.
Ever the mogul, Kim Kardashian’s “workwear” means body-conscious business.
