Kim Kardashian returned to her quintessentially feminine roots as she led the star-studded arrivals at the GQ Men of the Year Celebration in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
The 43-year-old reality TV star sparked controversy for covering the men’s magazine’s special edition, which some called “stupid and extremely insensitive” – despite being a woman.
Kim brushed aside the controversy as she walked the red carpet in a racy suede dress that showed off her curves.
The mother-of-four’s dress featured a sexy low back, halter neckline and gothic cross-shaped embroidery.
Instead of her typical raven black hair, she wore a long, dirty blonde wig that reached down to her waist.

Since Kim’s cover was published, GQ has been criticized online for making a woman one of its “Men of the Year” cover stars.
Kim isn’t the first woman to cover the annual issue, joining Rihanna, Megan Thee Stallion, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Aniston and Scarlett Johansson – but that hasn’t stopped critics from feeling it’s “taking something away from successful men.” “. .’
