When it comes to turning heads, Kim Kardashian is no stranger.

But her latest appearance at Paris Fashion Week has people talking for reasons she may not have expected.

Taking to the Balenciaga runway in a bold look, the reality TV icon and entrepreneur gave fashion lovers plenty to react to—and the internet didn’t hold back.


That Runway Walk Everyone’s Talking About

Kim hit the catwalk in a silky cream slip dress and a dramatic, fluffy coat.

Sounds fabulous, right? Well, the walk itself sparked more buzz than the outfit.

Clips of her runway moment quickly made the rounds on social media, with many users calling her stride “stiff,” “unnatural,” or even “like someone walking home half-asleep.”

One person compared her to someone “drunk or tired,” while another joked, “Me heading back to bed from the bathroom at 4 a.m.”

Ouch.


Fans Weigh In: Effort or Embarrassment?

While critics were quick to poke fun, a few fans jumped in to support Kim, praising her for trying something outside her usual comfort zone.

Some applauded her for embracing the fashion world head-on, even if the runway walk didn’t hit the mark.

Still, the general consensus leaned more towards the side of, “Maybe leave this one to the professionals.”

One particularly cutting comment read, “She is no model. A for effort though.” Another added, “Stick to business—let Kendall model.”


The Fashion Moment That Sparked It All

Despite the awkward walk, Kim looked every bit the fashion icon.

Her outfit included a body-hugging cream slip dress, an oversized furry coat, and some seriously dazzling jewellery—reportedly worth around R4.6 million.

Her hair was styled in soft, vintage Hollywood waves, a look many compared to the glamour of Elizabeth Taylor, a fashion legend Kim has long admired.


The Bigger Conversation About Celebrities in Fashion

The video of Kim’s walk was first shared by her mom, Kris Jenner, and it didn’t take long for it to go viral.

One user summed up the sentiment with, “If you’re going for sultry… it’s not really landing.”

But beyond the memes and jokes, Kim’s runway appearance stirred a deeper conversation about celebrities in high fashion.

Sure, Kim has undeniable star power—but does that automatically translate to success on the runway?

Clearly, not everyone thinks so.


What Did You Think of Kim’s Catwalk Moment?
