Two years ago, the Barbie movie painted the world pink, and not even Kim Kardashian was exempt from its influence. That summer, the Skims founder traveled across the world to purchase a piece that Margot Robbie wore in the film: a pearl teardrop necklace with multicolored stones from Chanel spring 1995.
While the film eventually faded from the zeitgeist, Kardashian kept her affinity for Barbie pink. Today, amidst fall 2025 couture shows in Paris, she donned a full, Pepto-Bismol-hued Balenciaga look for an appointment at the brand’s headquarters.
Kardashian wore a body-skimming maxi halter dress with a plunging neckline and a tie-front closure, which she wore over a pair of Demna’s signature pointy-toe, knife-heeled pantaboots. Her glam was just as outré: a pair of black wraparound shades shielded her eyes, and she pinned back her bob (complete with a kiss curl) with a smattering of creaseless clips that she later removed.
The late 2010s and early 2020s were the heyday of the pantaboot, and nobody was more supportive than Kardashian, who wore them everywhere from dinners to galas. While Demna’s time at Balenciaga has come to a close, Kim Kardashian is paying homage to his tenure with her ’fit—pantaboots and all.
