When it comes to archival fashion, Kim Kardashian is a devoted collector of some of the most sought-after pieces. From Alexander McQueen’s infamous spring/summer 2003 “Oyster dress” to the ultra-rare autumn/winter 1990 Azzedine Alaïa cheetah-print bodysuit, the entrepreneur’s personal archive is an impressive collection of important fashion pieces.
For her latest red carpet appearance at the Time 100 gala she delivered another vintage look, wearing an ivory satin John Galliano slip dress with jeweled straps and a perfectly cinched waist. It’s an unusually simple choice for Kardashian, but she added drama with layers of crystal necklaces, with pieces from Bulgari, Messika, and XIV Karats. However, the standout feature of Kim’s look was her pearlescent Chanel clutch bag, a rare item designed by the late, legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld.
