Yeehaw cowgirl: Just when you thought
she had tried out every look possible, Kim Kardashian decided to take
some inspiration from the Wild Wild West in Paris on Thursday night
ust when
you thought she had tried out every look possible, Kim Kardashian
decided to take some inspiration from the Wild Wild West.
The
34-year-old reality TV star, who unveiled her new platinum blonde locks
to the world earlier in the day, attended a Balmain dinner after the
label's Paris Fashion week presentation where she rocked a fringed
jacket and matching skirt.
Kim's outfit appeared to be inspired by cowboys but rather than suede, her clothing's material was glittery.
Kim paired her bizarre look with dark tights and ankle boots as she arrived with her husband Kanye.
The
37-year-old rapper may have one of the biggest egos in showbusiness but
he seemed happy to take a back seat and let his wife shine on their
night out.
Kanye dressed all in black, wearing a chic dark suit.
Fashion victim: Kim's designer outfit looked more like a fancy dress choice than couture
Kimye were supporting their close pal Oliver Rousteing after he showed his Balmain collection, for which they sat front row.
Even Kardashian's newly blonde hair couldn't distract from her cowgirl outfit as they hit up the aftershow dinner.
Are you responsible for this? Kim chatted with Balmain designer Oliver Rousteing at the dinner
Wild Wild (Mrs) West: Kim looked like she was on her way to the rodeo in this get-up
Fashion victim: Kim has access to a huge amount of designer items and wears them whether they suit or not
With
them was Kim's mother Kris Jenner, who has been a constant fixture by
their side since they reunited in Paris after a few days apart.
And
they weren't the only members of the family present, as model of the
moment Kendall Jenner also rocked up with her pal Gigi Hadid, after they
walked in the show earlier.
Indeed,
the Balmain A/W 2015 presentation has to have been the most
star-studded catwalk of all of the fashion week shows from across all
four cities.
He approves: Kanye is said to be responsible for Kim's high fashion transformation
Leading the way: Kanye was happy to follow along behind his wife as they arrived at the bash
Busy day: The lovebirds hit up a number of shows in the city on Thursday
Kendall
Jenner led the way at Balmain as the esteemed likes of Karlie Kloss,
Alessandra Ambrosio and Jourdan Dunn all stalked the catwalk in the
colourful designs, among others.
Also
hitting the runway on Thursday in the French capital were Joan Smalls,
Lily Donaldson and Adriana Lima, but the 19-year-old Keeping Up With The
Kardashians favourite was clearly the star of the show.
With
her famous sister Kim watching her from the audience, the teen star cut
a sensational figure with her face in a strong, stoic expression as she
sashayed down the long catwalk, wearing wide-legged black trousers with
a fine pleat, giving them a flowing quality.
Just one of
the gang: Kim's younger sister Kendall Jenner fit right in with the
other models including Alessandra Ambrosio at the dinner
BFFs: Kendall posed for pictures with
her close pal and fellow model Gigi Hadid as they enjoyed a relaxing
night out following their runway success
Adding
some colour to proceedings was the bright purple detailing across the
well-structured top, decorated with thick black bands vertically and
horizontally across her slender, trim physique.
Like
all the other top models walking for the major French fashion house,
her long tresses were styled simply, in a sleek side parting, her raven
locks a glossy waterfall down her back.
Balmain's
show was a serious colour injection in the usually-gloomy landscape of
autumn/winter fashion, with rich jewel tones, vibrant oranges and nearly
fluorescent purples in rich abundance.
Polar opposites: Kendall matched her outfit to her dark hair, while blonde Gigi was sunny in blue
Who knew they were friends? Oscar winner Jared Leto appeared utterly fascinated by momager Kris Jenner
RivetedL Kris had Jared and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton hanging on her every word
Another relative newcomer taking to the catwalk for Balmain on Thursday afternoon was Kendall's best friend and colleague Gigi.
The blonde beauty displayed her best model walk as she made her trendy trek in front of the rows and rows of fashion fans.
She
cut a chic and retro figure in a glitzy black and gold top, sitting
long on her thighs and with a wide band across the waist.
Brazilian beauties: Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima rocked plunging outfits at the gathering
Sheer delight: Joan Smalls rocked a see-through lace skirt which showed off her slim pins
Model behaviour: Jessica Stam and Daria Strokous were among the well-heeled beauties at the bash
And,
showing off her years in the industry, Alessandra Ambrosio made for a
rather formidable figure as she stepped out on the catwalk in a light
tangerine ensemble.
The
trousers of her garment were in the same silky, pleated fabric as
Kendall's bottoms, which worked flawlessly on her Amazonian frame.
The
Victoria's Secret beauty flashed a subtle hint of her cleavage thanks
to the ready-to-wear design's plunging neckline, and accentuated her
figure with the chunky waist-cinching belt around her middle.
Man of the moment: Balmain designer Oliver Rousteing had the crowd captivated as he spoke
Joking around: While everyone else posed up a storm, Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn pulled funny faces
He pouts better than the models: Rousteing showed off his incredible cheekbones as he pouted up a storm
Daring: Costance Jablonski wore a cleavage baring top with a pair of patterned flares
She walked again for Balmain in the stunning designs by the iconic French fashion house's talented Head Designer Olivier
With
pleated satin flowing elegantly around her lofty figure in rich dark
green and orange tones, 33-year-old Alessandra was the fashion week
embodiment of a goddess.
Rousteing
appears to have the magic touch, pulling in the modelling world's
biggest and brightest stars to show off his directional designs, for the
last week of fashion month.
Daring: Cindy Bruna and Riley Montana both chose daring outfits which showed off their long legs
Flashing the flesh: Devon Windsor and Cindy Bruna flashed the flesh in extremely daring looks
Friends in high places: Costance Jablonski's ensemble came courtesy of the designer Olivier Rousteing
US
supermodel Karlie Kloss made for a dramatic addition as she paraded her
slender figure down the catwalk, covered up in a burnt orange and black
ensemble.
Striped
retro-chic trousers threatened to dwarf her frame along with the
well-cut jacket over the top, but thanks to the clashing purple waist
belt and her prowess as one of the top models of the moment, she pulled
it off with ease.
The
22-year-old looked nonchalant as she stalked out with one hand in the
pocket of the Balmain jacket, her other deftly clutching a large black
handbag, her blonde locks flattened to a poker straight style and her
natural beauty shining through minimal make-up.
Not just a ladies' night: Lewis Hamilton and Jared Leto were some of the few men who attended
Also
taking the catwalk by storm was British superstar Jourdan Dunn, looking
fantastic in Balmain's opulent shade of purple, once again pleats of
flowing fabric cascading around her frame.
Her
second on-stage ensemble saw her sporting a unique orange blazer with a
fancy crossover wrap detail - that will no doubt be replicated in
fashion stores across the globe - over a pair of wide-legged violet
trousers.
The
24-year-old didn't break her composure once, strutting her stuff with
aplomb and proving her worth in the competitive model arena.
Angels assemble: Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn were just two of the Victoria's Secret Angels present
Party time: The pair enjoyed a relaxing night after walking the runway earlier in the day
Total opposite: Elena Perminova was a bit of all white while Miroslava Duma wowed in a geometric design
Elsewhere
26-year-old beauty Joan Smalls looked fantastic in a vibrant orange top
with serious disco diva vibes, long hair-like tassels falling down from
her shoulders to her thighs, cinched in with Balmain's trademark wide
belt.
The
party aura to the new collection continued with another outfit donned
by Joan, slim-leg pleated trousers in a nearly-sheer fabric under a
wrapover black top, a waist belt and glitzy jacket worn cape-like over
her shoulders.
Adriana Lima and Lily Donaldson also made welcome additions to the star-filled line-up.
And all of them showed up at the celebratory dinner later than evening.
However,
Kim managed to fit in a quick trip to see Lanvin's Paris Fashion Week
presentation before the dinner, where she donned yet another eyecatching
outfit.
Wearing
a completely see-through mesh dress, Kim opted to go without a bra for
maximum exposure as she stepped out looking like Kardashian Barbie.
Kim's newly blonde hair and vacant expression made her look more doll-like but her outfit showed she is all woman.
The dress ended at her knees but that was the only thing that was demure about the garment which clung to her every curve.
She wore heels and a pair of large Bridget Jones-style knickers, which were clearly visible under the dress.

Earlier
Kim left Le Royal Monceau hotel to go to the Balmain fashion show with
her rapper husband and first showcased her new shorter and layered 'do.
Wearing
an origami-style black velvet mini dress under a black coat, all eyes
were on the reality star as she ventured to the highly-anticipated
high-fashion show.
Kim then posted an Instagram shot of her new look, writing: 'So I went platinum!! I have the best team!

Mr and Mrs West: The couple got married in May 2014 in a ceremony which was held in Florence, Italy
'Thank
you to @joycebonelli for being my inspiration and introducing me to
@GregoryRussellHair who cut my hair & put this team together! Thank
you
'@LorriGoddard_ who dyed my hair & got this color in one try! Not an easy task!'
However,
the cat was let out of the bag earlier on in the day when Kim flew in
from Los Angeles to Paris, wearing a suspect oversized beanie on her
head which completely covered her hair.
The
lovely lady had inadvertently given a glimpse of her newly-dyed blonde
locks after arriving in the French capital on Thursday morning -
although she has kept her eyebrows dark.

The
reality TV star was perhaps waiting for a much bigger reveal, but her
lightened tresses were clearly visible beneath her cosy hat as she
emerged from a taxi shortly after arriving after her long-haul flight.
Celebrity
hairstylist Nicky Clarke told MailOnline: 'Kim's new platinum blonde
look would cost from anything from £300-400 at one of my salons.
'It
would probably take a long session of at least two hours just to get
the original colour out and then another three hours to bleach the hair
into the new colour.
Making his rounds: Jared was also spoke with Kris and former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris Carine Roitfeld

Commander! Rowland earned her diva stripes in a monochrome ensemble as she posed for pictures
Got to be seen: Solange Knowles, 28, looked uber-stylish in shaggy teal coat, blue dress and yellow heels
'The
look is a very high maintenance one and not without issue as her darker
roots are going to show after one week because her natural colour is so
very dark.
'It's
a long and harsh process on the hair too. She may get the results she
wants colour wise but it will damage the condition of the hair
immensely.
'She
will have to have a treatment every few days to maintain her glossy
locks. Moreover, it would also have been a scalp bleach for the roots
which is not great for the skin on her head and there is a possibility
of reaction.'
