Kim Kardashian took to Instagram last night to show her 189 million followers an exciting fashion delivery from luxury label Balmain. In her Stories, the reality star explained that the package was a gift from Balmain's designer Olivier Rousteing, saying, 'I am so excited that Olivier sent me his new collection. Olivier, this is so cute. Thank you so much.'
The brand sent her a sporty-glam look containing figure-hugging cycling shorts, a crop top with extreme shoulder pads and gloves, a bag, and a face mask - all covered in logo print.
She shared a slideshow of her posing in the look to her main grid, captioning the post 'Balmain Barbie.' Kim finished the look with heeled thong sandals and a glossy high ponytail courtesy of Chris Appleton, her hair stylist.
In her Stories, we got a closer look at the pieces all laid out, with a card addressed to her:
She went on to explain, 'This is vintage B, so if you don’t know, this is an old pattern that Pierre Balmain did years ago.' Kim posed a bit more in her Stories with the clothes on, showing us the look in detail:
In the final shots, she shared a a close-up of the mask, and a full-body photo of her posing in front of a wardrobe, looking sensational as per.
Anything from Balmain is going to set you back a few £££, but plenty of high street brands like ASOS are all in on the cycling short trend. BRB, just manifesting a designer delivery like that to show up in my post box...
