Kim Kardashian stunned in a bold backless Balmain gown, flaunting her figure from every angle
Kim Kardashian stole the spotlight at the Fourth Annual Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala in Los Angeles on February 1, 2025, with a jaw-dropping backless gown.
The 44-year-old reality star flaunted a sultry black halter dress by Balmain that featured a daring low back, exuding confidence and style.
The custom bodycon gown, part of Balmain’s upcoming Fall-Winter 2025 collection, boasted a bold patchwork design with black crocodile skin print embossed leather and chainmail elements, according to the brand.
The gala, which celebrated Black-owned businesses, saw Kardashian socializing and snapping photos with friends like Kelly Rowland and Kristen Noel Crawley, as well as other notable figures including Keke Palmer, Law Roach, and Rachel Zoe.
Adding to her glamorous appearance, the SKIMS mogul debuted a chic new bob haircut, which her stylist, Chris Appleton, confirmed was a real cut, not a wig.
He posted a photo on Instagram of the hair clippings, playfully arranged in the shape of a heart.
Chris Appleton took to Instagram to celebrate Kim Kardashian’s new hairstyle, revealing they chopped off 7 inches of her hair.
“Love this new chop on Kim, we got 7 inches off her hair! (No, it’s not a wig, before you start lol),” he wrote.
“To style, we went for a deep side part, Tom Ford Gucci 96-inspired look.”
On the same day, Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing posted a photo of Kardashian’s striking gala gown on a mannequin at the brand’s Paris atelier, calling it «crocodile couture.»
Kim shared photos of her backless dress on Instagram Stories. The appearance in LA came shortly after the *Kardashians* season 6 trailer teased her return to dating.
In the clip, Kim jokingly talks about adding closet space for her mystery man, saying, “I’ll make a whole ‘his’ closet.”
Her mom, Kris Jenner, asks, «You must really like him,» to which Kim replies, «He’ll be happy.» In a confessional, Kim admits, «I was planning on staying single… but I was lying. Me not dating and not wanting love? I don’t think you know me.»
