  • Kim Kardashian consistently wore daring designer outfits at events in 2024.
  • Her fashion choices included some stunning ensembles, from cutout gowns to casual streetwear.
  • Other outfits, however, were less successful and missed the mark entirely.

One thing never changed this year: Kim Kardashian's dedication to bold outfits.

The television star regularly appeared in major cities and at red-carpet events, wearing stunning ensembles from designer brands.

On a few occasions, however, her attire could have been better.

Here's a look at the best and worst looks Kardashian wore in 2024.

Kim Kardashian kicked off 2024 with a skin-baring gown for Paris Fashion Week.

She attended the Maison Margiela runway show and was photographed outside wearing a sleeveless design from the fashion house.

Her black dress β€” which hugged Kardashian's body and had round cutouts from top to bottom β€” was paired with Tabi shoes and a statement silver necklace that covered her neck.

The outfit was fashion-forward and memorable.

Her sheer dress a few days later didn't have the same effect.

For a Balenciaga show, Kardashian wore a black lace gown that was form-fitting and backless.

The gown's silhouette was stunning, thanks to a short train, waterfall sleeves, and a high neckline. However, one small detail distracted from the look.

Attached to the back of the dress was a long string and Balenciaga tag, intended to look like Kardashian bought the dress and forgot to remove its price label.

Unfortunately, the feature was too gimmicky for the chic look.

She was photographed leaving a Margiela exhibit in Paris while wearing a fuzzy, jaguar-print coat from Balenciaga. It had an oversize collar, thick sleeves, and a leather belt wrapped around the waist.

The coat was a standout on its own, but Kardashian elevated the piece with the rest of her look.

She wore sheer black tights, pointed heels, and glowing, smoky makeup. She also carried a black leather purse and tied her hair in a slicked ponytail.

Her street style faltered, however, while visiting Los Angeles.

For one occasion, Kardashian stepped out wearing an oversize Balenciaga bomber coat and $3,590 leggings that covered an attached pair of pointed heels.

The outfit was overly simple and looked as if it were missing a piece, such as a skirt or shorts.

Kardashian also wore black sunglasses and an updo hairstyle that worked with the streetwear look but didn't add any extra style.

The fashion mogul experimented with old Hollywood glam after the Oscars, and the look worked for her.

She attended the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in yet another Balenciaga design. Her off-white dress was strapless, with a floor-length skirt, short train, and a neckline pointing toward her face.

Not only did the gown's shining fabric complement Kardashian's glowing makeup, but it also looked luxurious when paired with diamond jewels.

She wore a statement ring and large stud earrings, and her hair was styled sleekly to cover one side of her face.

It didn't click as well when Kardashian tried to bring back styles from the early 2000s.

For the Breakthrough Prize ceremony this year, Kardashian donned a white AlaΓ―a gown with a daring bodice.

Its halter top had a triangle cutout across the chest and thin slits at the waist, both of which were more reminiscent of Y2K designs than anything modern.

The tight gown's best feature was its stark white color, which looked great on Kardashian. However, the crocodile-embossed leather looked a bit strange from far away, almost like the dress was made from a towel material.

Kardashian completed the look with shining lip gloss, dark eye makeup, and straight hair styled to appear wet.

The neutral outfit she wore in New York over the summer was classic Kardashian.

The brand founder stepped out of her hotel in a $94 Skims dress in a custom color. It had long sleeves, a layered skirt, and a high neckline.

She wore the simple piece with a tan pair of Balenciaga's Pantaleggings and a $1,850 shearling bag from ERL.

Kardashian's tan outfit matched her signature neutral aesthetic, and her fuzzy, butter-yellow purse added a fun, fashionable touch.

She wore more yellow pieces in August, but they didn't all work for her.

She was photographed in New York City wearing a strapless Miu Miu tank top made from vibrant yellow leather and tan pants that were wide at the ankles.

The latter garment was unfortunately too neutral in color and washed Kardashian out. A darker shade could have made all the difference.

The TV star completed the outfit with tan sandals, a Birkin bag, and a wavy hairstyle.

Following her own tradition, Kardashian wore a corset gown to the Met Gala. As usual, she stole the show.

This year, she sported a John Galliano creation at the Met Gala. It was strapless with a tightly corseted waist and metal floral pieces that created its skirt.

The gown was like a work of art and matched the night's theme: "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

Kardashian truly looked like a princess who had just awoken, especially thanks to her small gray cardigan that she carried around her arms.

You might have forgotten about the leotard she wore to the 2024 Academy Museum Gala.

Thierry Mugler designed the white ensemble Kardashian wore that night. It included a corseted leotard with a plunging neckline and hip padding and a thin overcoat that reached the floor.

The two pieces looked too casual for the prestigious event, as did her see-through heels.

However, her wavy hair, pink makeup, and diamond necklace were picture-perfect.

Kardashian looked like American royalty at the 2024 LACMA Art+Film Gala.

She arrived in a white Gucci gown with two thin straps acting as a bodice, which created a deep V-neckline that reached her stomach.

The skin-hugging dress was complemented by an off-white overcoat, which Kardashian carried across her back, and thick necklaces from Garrard.

The one shaped like a cross was previously worn by Princess Diana. Kardashian purchased it at an auction in 2023 for nearly $200,000.

  • Selena Gomez was named a billionaire in September, largely thanks to her success with Rare Beauty.
  • Since then, her style has subtly shifted toward timeless fashion.
  • Specifically, Gomez has adopted an all-black wardrobe featuring designers like Ralph Lauren.

Selena Gomez graced magazine covers, was nominated for two Golden Globe awards, and hosted her second Rare Impact Fund Benefit in 2024.

She also became a billionaire in September, largely thanks to the success of her massive cosmetics brand, Rare Beauty.

The actor and entrepreneur has shied away from talking about her financial achievement, saying that she's "grateful" but finds it "distasteful" to discuss money publicly.

However, her style has shifted slightly to complement her status as one of the most influential and successful businesswomen in her field.

Here's how her fashion has evolved since becoming a billionaire, from colorful minidresses to luxury ensembles.

Selena Gomez has always worn fun, feminine fashion.

Gomez, 32, might have entered the Hollywood scene as a young Disney Channel star in jeans and T-shirts.

Eventually, however, she swapped her casual looks for metallic gowns, bold cutouts, and fun, colorful minidresses.

Her style often merged classic pieces with edgy trends and crossed a wide range of aesthetics. Still, Gomez's fashion always steadily evolved with her and her career.

The multi-hyphenate star really came into her own style in 2023.

She began working with stylist Erin Walsh that year. Together, the duo experimented with flashy, skin-baring gowns, pops of red, and chic business attire.

And as Gomez approached billionaire status, she elevated her looks.

Gomez hasn't flaunted her wealth with her style β€” but she has embraced luxury.

In May, she attended the Cannes Film Festival to promote her film "Emilia PΓ©rez," and she looked like a classic Hollywood star on the red carpet.

Gomez wore a black Saint Laurent gown with white, off-the-shoulder sleeves, Santoni heels, and statement diamonds from Bulgari.

Instead of colorful minidresses, she began wearing sparkling numbers in darker shades.

At the August premiere of "Only Murders in the Building," Gomez sported a $555 halter dress from Self-Portrait.

It had a lace neckline with a silver bow attached and black sparkles from top to bottom.

The chic design was an elevated version of the youthful minidresses she's worn throughout her career. Gomez completed the look with $3,264 Roger Vivier heels and Marli jewels.

Statement jewelry also became a major part of her wardrobe.

For the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Gomez donned a sparkling Rodarte gown with a halter neckline, peplum waist, and rose appliquΓ©.

It was her jewelry, however, that stole the show. She wore a variety of Tiffany and Co. rings and dangling earrings.

Walsh described Gomez's look on Instagram as "the divine feminine."

Gomez has turned to classic American designers like Ralph Lauren for custom pieces.

At the 2024 Emmy Awards, she wore a black velvet gown with glitter-covered halter straps. The Ralph Lauren design, which was made specifically for Gomez, also had a mermaid-style skirt that pooled around her feet.

The actor amplified the classic gown with Tiffany and Co. jewels and Ralph Lauren heels.

Gomez has seemingly adopted a solid black uniform, no matter the style or designer she wears.

In September, Gomez attended the New York Film Festival. As has become customary for the actor, she wore all black.

Vera Wang custom-made the halter, scoop-neck gown for Gomez. It featured a floor-length skirt, a form-fitting bodice, and a large bow attached at the back. There were also matching over-the-elbow gloves.

Gomez wore the dress with an assortment of rings and earrings from Tiffany and Co.

Rather than wearing daring dresses, Gomez has recently opted for simple ones with intricate details.

The velvet dress extended to the floor and had a gold-encrusted keyhole in the center of its bodice.

Baublebar jewelry and Louboutin heels completed the luxurious look.

Velvet is another key part of Gomez's billionaire wardrobe.

For the 2024 Academy Museum Gala, the Rare Beauty founder wore a custom piece from AlaΓ―a. It had a leather bralette beneath a blue velvet gown with a deep, scooped neckline.

The fabric looked rich and timeless but also fashion-forward when paired with leather detailing and chunky silver accessories from Tiffany and Co.

Still, timeless, neutral styles are Gomez's signature.

She recently attended The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Gala while wearing a $585 midi dress from Self-Portrait.

The elegant piece had white ruffles across its sleeves and an off-the-shoulder neckline, which added a feminine touch to its dark fabric.

For accessories, Walsh dressed Gomez in Chopard jewels and Manolo Blahnik heels.
