Kim Kardashian channels daring Balenciaga look

Kim Kardashian continues to stir controversy with her fashion choices. The 43-year-old reality TV star looked as if she borrowed style inspiration from her ex-husband Kanye West's current wife Bianca Censori during a recent outing in Los Angeles.  

Kardashian wore a revealing backless black ensemble from Balenciaga, her go-to fashion house.  Kim's choice to wear Balenciaga has caused additional criticism due to the brand's recent scandal involving a disturbing ad campaign featuring children with BDSM-themed accessories. 

In November 2022, Kardashian herself claimed to be "re-evaluating" her relationship with the brand following the scandal.

Her outing comes just days after Kardashian met with Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington, DC, to discuss criminal justice reform. Kardashian's continued support of Balenciaga appears to contradict her work as an advocate, leaving many to question her motives.

Balenciaga officially ended its relationship with Kim’s former husband Ye aka Kanye West back in 2022. The move came in response to the rapper's series of antisemitic posts and controversial public statements.

Balenciaga's parent company, Kering, confirmed the news in a statement to Women's Wear Daily: "Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist." Kering did not provide further comment.
