After a short hiatus, Kim Kardashian is back to work with Balenciaga as she makes her debut in their recent campaign. This marks his continued relationship with the brand despite the controversy surrounding the BDSM scandal that rocked the fashion industry last year.
Kim Kardashian Comes Back In Style With Balenciaga Following BDSM Backlash
The SKIMS founder was among the models who showcased the controversial fashion brand’s Summer 2024 collection. In a post to their official page, the 42-year-old flaunted her iconic curves in a sleek black latex dress.
Embracing the edgy look, the mother-of-four teamed a figure-hugging sleeveless dress featuring an asymmetrical hemline with thigh-high black boots and sparkling silver stiletto heels.
Her trademark dark hair was styled in a wet centre-parted look, while she opted for minimal nude-toned make-up to enhance her features. The caption of the post contained the details:
“Summer 24 Collection, Look 61, Kim. 3D Shaped Wetsuit, Pantalegging Heel Socks, Pantasshoe Knife.”
While some called the look amazing and awesome, others couldn’t help but point to the reality TV star’s return, like this user who wrote, “Kim is back ❤️.” Another also mentioned that “Kim and Balenciaga are the craziest match, I love it ?❤️??❤️??❤️?.”
At the same time, a third stated that the actress “don’t miss ?,” while a fourth stated that she is “always a Goddess ???.” One admirer even called her “Talented and Beautiful ?? ?.”
The campaign comes nearly a year after “The Kardashians” star turned down an offer from the brand. He also issued a public statement about “re-evaluating” his relationship with the fashion label. She explained that she will not be wearing the outfit she originally planned for the upcoming event.
Sources reported that Balenciaga had extended an offer to the TV personality for the 2023 campaign before the controversial BDSM ad was released. The “KUWTK” alumni’s decision to part ways with them came after one of their campaigns turned into controversy after they featured an underage child wearing BDSM-inspired clothing, holding a teddy bear backpack.
The image also drew attention for including legal documents related to child pornography cases, adding to the scandal. Balenciaga quickly removed the Instagram post and other photos related to the widespread backlash.
American Horror Story Star Seeks Answers Before Speaking About Balenciaga Controversy
Last November, the socialite, who shares a close relationship with the fashion brand, took to Twitter to explain her reasons for not immediately addressing the brand’s contentious campaign. The “Kourtney and Kim Take Miami” alum began her statement by writing:
“I have been silent for the past few days, not because I am not disgusted by the recent Balenciaga campaign, but because I wanted the opportunity to speak with their team to understand for myself how this could happen.”

Kardashian, who graced their Paris fashion show in July, emphasized, “As a mother of four children, I was shocked by disturbing images. The safety of children must be held in high regard, and any attempt to normalize child abuse should have no place in our society – period.”
He expressed gratitude for Balenciaga’s “removal of the campaign” and their apology. The “PAW Patrol: The Movie” voice actor also believes that his conversation with them shed light on “the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary steps to prevent this from happening again.”
In conclusion, the “Disaster Movie” star stated that he was reflecting on his association with Balenciaga. He based his decision on “their willingness to accept accountability for something that should never have happened in the first place – & the actions I hope to see them take to protect children.”
Unfortunately, instead of calming the angry crowd, Kardashian’s statement only helped them conclude that the controversy will not stop her from wearing or using items from Balenciaga.
On X, users responded quickly, like this critic who urged, “Why do you still need to talk to them? You need to immediately break up with them & use your money to deeply research what’s going on. There’s more to it than just a campaign.”
This person expressed frustration, stating, “You say all this but refuse to cut ties with them [clown emojis]. Fuck you and pedo a** balenciagia [clown emoji].” At the same time, another observed, “Instead of breaking up, he’s “reassessing. Basically, he’s waiting for people to calm down so he can go back to advertising for them.”
