Kim Kardashian rocked a full-on Balenciaga-branded caution tape ensemble
Balenciaga's winter 2022 show paid a subtle tribute to Ukraine.
Kim Kardashian's latest look for Balenciaga Paris Winter 2022 collection was a statement-maker.
The reality star and businesswoman attended the show fully wrapped in yellow, Balenciaga-branded tape that was reminiscent of caution tape.
She paired the look with a matching bag and dark shades while keeping her makeup neutral. Beneath the tape, Kardashian appeared to be wearing a black bodysuit.
Kardashian posed alongside Salma Hayek, who wore a blue and yellow look in support of Ukraine amid Russia's recent invasion.
Balenciaga's 360° show featured a snow-filled runway along with models wearing stylish fall/winter tops, dresses, outerwear and more.
Much of the show had underlying themes reflective of today's global issues. Creative director Demna Gvasalia shared in a social media post that the show was "a dedication to fearlessness, to resistance, and to the victory of love and peace," People reports.
Gvasalia also shared in his Instagram story about his connection to Ukrainians as he is a refugee of the Georgian Civil War.
"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," Gvasalia said.
Gvasalia also revealed that he considered canceling the show amid the world's global emergencies. However, he further shared in a note to guests that he went through with it as he felt that call it off would be "giving in" and "surrendering to the evil that has already hurt me so much... I decided I can no longer sacrifice parts of me to that senseless, heartless war of ego."
