Kim Kardashian turned heads at Paris Couture Week with a surprise runway appearance at Balenciaga’s fall 2025 show. The moment carried extra weight as it marked the final collection from creative director Demna, who is reportedly preparing for a move to Gucci.
Dressed in a sleek, lingerie-inspired slip dress and an extravagant feathered coat, Kardashian embodied the signature blend of glamour and disruption that defined Demna’s tenure at the label. Her walk was poised and cinematic, reminiscent of classic Hollywood but filtered through Balenciaga’s futuristic lens.
Kardashian’s history with the brand runs deep. From Met Gala appearances to headline-grabbing street style, she has long been a defining figure in Demna’s vision for Balenciaga. Her presence at his final show felt like a full-circle moment, a living tribute to the bold, provocative direction he brought to the fashion house.
This was not Kardashian’s first turn on a Balenciaga runway, but it was her most symbolic. It underscored her evolution from reality star to high fashion mainstay and served as a public endorsement of Demna’s transformative work. Together, they helped turn Balenciaga into one of the most talked-about labels of the last decade.
As Demna exits Balenciaga on a high note, all eyes are now on what’s next for both the brand and its longtime muse. Kardashian’s appearance wasn’t just another celebrity stunt. It was a closing statement, wrapped in feathers and attitude, delivered on one of fashion’s most prestigious stages.
Whatever happens next, the image of Kim commanding the runway at Demna’s swan song is one the industry won’t forget anytime soon.
