Kim Kardashian Flaunted SKIMS Undies In A Dazzling Crystal Skirt

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to visible underwear, Hollywood’s racy trend du jour. On Tuesday, however, she rocked the revealing style in a completely unexpected way — and, spoiler alert, she positively dazzled.

Kim’s Bedazzled Look

On Tuesday, the American Horror Story star was photographed at Swarovski’s New York flagship opening. The event, attended by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Emma Roberts, also marked the launch of the jewelry brand’s highly-anticipated collaboration with SKIMS. Totally on theme, Kardashian arrived dripping in crystals.

The shapewear mogul was covered in glimmering jewels thanks to a custom set designed by Swarovski creative director Giovanna Engelbert. Kardashian’s sleeveless top featured a high neckline mimicking a cuffed choker necklace.

Though the silhouette seemed simple enough, nothing about the bejeweled masterpiece was. The piece was crafted entirely from oversize Swarovski gems linked together as a chain top, and the massive geometric stones looked nothing like the teeny, circular crystals fashion girls have come to know.

Naturally, the item was completely see-through, fully revealing the skin-tone pasties Kardashian wore underneath. Although the front offered some coverage, her back was mostly bare, save for a few rows of slinky chains, each embellished with a massive stone pendant.

Meanwhile, the matching mini skirt boasted the same jeweled chain construction, also rendering it see-through. The entrepreneur seized the opportunity for an exposed undies moment, expertly putting her latest SKIMS collab front and center.

For this event, her undergarment choice was crucial — and, fortunately, she didn’t miss. Like the rest of her glitzy ’fit, sparklers also adorned the SKIMS x Swarovski boxer shorts.

Kardashian intentionally slung her skirt low to fully expose the crystal-encrusted waistband, where, in a total boss move, both brands’ logos were spelled out in glimmering studs.

While the undies retailed for $58 on the SKIMS site, most of the items sold out in less than a day — these babies included.

The rest of the limited-edition collection includes crystal-encrusted iterations of SKIMS best-sellers, including frosted catsuits, bodysuits, and dresses, among others, as well as crystallized underpinnings and body jewelry.

With items ranging from $48 for basic bras and briefs up to $1,000 for body chains made entirely from Swarovski crystals, the collection is the perfect fusion of luxury and accessibility.

A High-Low Marriage: “SKIMS has had a few collaborations over the years, but this one is perhaps the most interesting yet. By using material that has been traditionally saved for undergarments and embellishing it with the opulence of Austrian Swarovski crystals, the result is a perfect marriage of high and low.” — EJ Briones, Bustle Digital Group’s Fashion Market Executive Editor

Kim’s Pamela Anderson Updo

Keeping the rest of her attire low-key, Kardashian eschewed other accessories. Her heeled sandals were barely noticeable due to their clear straps, and her beauty look was noticeably subdued, incorporating more neutral tones.

Her hair, however, was a different story. The SKKN founder styled it like a ’90s-era Pamela Anderson, her favorite look of late. Just days before, Kardashian rocked a similar messy bun for the CFDA Awards, with the same piece-y curtain bangs.

Safe to say the look was just as good the second time around.
