6 of the best outfits Kim Kardashian wore this year and 5 that missed the mark
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
