Kim Kardashian BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Kim Kardashian has been making international headlines all week with her highly publicized return to the runway at Paris Fashion Week. On July 9 she stunned the fashion world by walking in Balenciaga’s fall 2025 couture show, marking creative director Demna Gvasalia’s final turn at the helm of the brand. According to People and several fashion outlets, Kim captivated audiences in a figure-hugging ivory midi dress with lace trim—a look inspired by Elizabeth Taylor’s iconic role in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. True to her penchant for spectacle, she accessorized with an extravagant set of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds, including the legendary Mike Todd Diamond Pendant Earrings once worn by Taylor herself, and layered necklaces totaling more than 250 carats. The rest of the Balenciaga models on the runway also wore dazzling custom diamond and gemstone jewelry, establishing the show as one of the year’s most opulent fashion moments.

Kim debuted a retro-glam, side-parted bob hairstyle and draped a matching fur coat around her shoulders, completing the look that quickly had social media buzzing with comparisons to classic Hollywood and Liz Taylor’s signature glamour. Her runway walk and styling, discussed widely on Instagram and in outlet comment sections—as well as in Parade and InStyle—sparked praise and some debate over the intentional homage. Balenciaga’s own Instagram highlighted her high-fashion appearance soon after the runway closed.

Her Paris runway comeback also doubled as a star-studded social event. Kim arrived at the show with friends Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Katy Perry, both of whom were seated front row alongside other celebrities like Nicole Kidman and Cardi B. Just weeks prior, Kim had attended Sánchez Bezos’ elaborate Venice wedding to Jeff Bezos, where she was spotted catching up with Perry’s ex, Orlando Bloom, fueling further social media curiosity around her A-list network.

Beyond fashion, Kim has been active on Instagram, sharing content under her “Balenci Barbie 4Lyfe” persona and posting behind-the-scenes glimpses of her Paris adventures. Earlier in the week, TMZ and other entertainment outlets covered Kim’s head-turning arrival in a plunging, hot-pink, skintight dress with matching monochrome boots for her Balenciaga fitting, further cementing her “main character energy” and making her the talk of both the fashion elite and her millions of followers.

In more personal news, Kim shared an emotional tribute on Instagram to a recently departed longtime friend, referencing the friend’s birthday in a heartfelt post. This follows a July 7 post about mourning the loss of one of her ‘lifers,’ as reported by People and iHeartRadio.

Business-wise, while no new SKIMS deals or legal ventures have dominated the latest headlines, Kim’s presence at Paris Fashion Week as a Balenciaga brand ambassador reaffirms her position at the intersection of celebrity, entrepreneurship, and luxury fashion. No major controversy or unconfirmed rumors have surfaced in verified outlets this week, with coverage focusing on her fashion impact, social connections, and emotional posts about friendship and loss.
