Kim Kardashian left little to the imagination as she stepped out for dinner in New York City, wearing a dramatic ensemble that looked equally like medieval armour and high-fashion fantasy. The outfit was pulled from the archives of U.K. vintage curator Rebe Archive and styled by Danielle Levi.
The focal piece: a couture number from Dominique Sirop’s Fall/Winter 1999 collection. It featured a structured leather corset with industrial seam detailing and a basque-cut waist—clearly built like armour, rather than a typical dinner look.
Fur, fringe and surprisingly leggings
Around her shoulders, Kim wore a voluminous fox-fur scarf in tones of silver-grey, wrapped like a dramatic mantle. From the hem flowed tassel-like fringe, billowing almost like train or open skirt, creating a visual effect of hair or streamers trailing behind her. She paired this theatrical layering with simple black leggings—an unexpected pairing that grounded the look in streetwear.
Her footwear: strappy open-toe heels. Jewelry was minimal: choosing only chunky silver cuffs instead of earrings or a necklace. Hair was pulled into a sleek up-do, makeup kept polished yet subtle with a light plum blush and gloss.
Why this look matters
-
Armor aesthetic: The leather corset + fringe + fur combo evokes a strong, almost warrior-queen vibe, rather than typical red-carpet glam.
-
Contrast in styling: Pairing such a high-drama piece with simple leggings and minimal accessories makes the look more relatable and street-smart, rather than purely gala-dress.
-
Signature shear extravagance: As the article notes, Kim has been leaning into ‘hairy’ textures and maximalism lately—this just takes that motif to an extreme.
