Kim Kardashian wears shipping tape to Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week

Expect Kim Kardashian to do the unexpected! The 41-year-old turned heads as she made an appearance during Paris Fashion Week to attend Balenciaga show in a shipping tape wrapped around her body with the brand name mentioned all over it.

Kim complemented her catsuit with a matching handbag and a pair of tinted sunglasses to round off her look. She opted for a wet hair look in this catsuit and made sure all eyes were on her as she walked into the show area.

Demna Gvasalia, the creative director of Balenciaga, presented the most intriguing and compelling fashion show we have seen in recent times. The designer gave a strong, raw and emotional message and dedicated his show to Ukraine.

Models were seen braving the wind as trudged through the snow. In a press note, the Demna wrote, "The war in Ukraine has triggered the pain of a past trauma I have carried in me since 1993, when the same thing happened in my home country and I became a forever refugee. Forever, because that's something that stays in you. The fear, the desperation, the realization that no one wants you. But I also realised what really matters in life, the most important things, like life itself and human love and compassion."

He further added, "This is why working on this show this week was so incredibly hard for me. Because in a time like this, fashion loses its relevance and its actual right to exist. Fashion week feels like some kind of an absurdity. I thought for a moment about cancelling the show that I and my team worked hard on and were all looking forward to. But then I realised that cancelling this show would mean giving in, surrendering to the evil that has already hurt me so much for almost 30 years. I decided that I can no longer sacrifice parts of me to that senseless, heartless war of ego. This show needs no explanation. It is a dedication to fearlessness, to resistance, and to the victory of love and peace."

The Balenciaga show at the Paris Fashion Week will surely go down in history.
