Kim Kardashian made a stunning appearance at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, wearing a custom Balenciaga gown that caught everyone's attention. However, she later sparked discussions about image editing and societal standards when new photos of her surfaced, showing a noticeable difference.
Kim, aged 43, graced the red carpet on Sunday after attending the 96th Academy Awards. She took to her Instagram to share photos of her in a white Balenciaga dress, paired with black heels and sunglasses. The star also posted Instagram stories from inside the event, which was attended by numerous A-listers like Lindsay Lohan, Sharon Stone, and Matthew McConaughey.
Exclusive photos from the Vanity Fair party were later shared by The New York Times, taken by photographer V. Nina Westervelt. Among the celebrities captured in the images were Kim, Billie Eilish, and Christopher Nolan. However, social media users quickly noticed a difference between the photos Kim shared and the ones from the event.
Comments on the photos pointed out the disparity, with some noting the absence of editing and filters that Kim is known for using. In a 2022 episode of 'The Kardashians,' Kim admitted to editing her social media posts and even paparazzi photos. The public reaction to the unedited images of Kim highlighted the contrast between curated online images and reality.
The incident has reignited conversations about beauty standards and the impact of image editing on self-perception. Kim and her family have long been associated with meticulously curated online personas, and the unedited photos have provided a glimpse into the difference between the digital facade and real-life appearances.
