Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek were among the stylishly dressed guests who attended the Balenciaga Fall 24 show in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The reality TV star, 42, sizzled in skin-tight nude lace leggings that showed off her famous hourglass curves and built-in heels upon her arrival to the show, which took place on a gated residential street in Hancock Park.
Kidman, 56, looked classy in a black velvet sheath dress with a stylish off-the-shoulder design. She paired the look with a black clutch, pointed heels, a large pearl earring, black gloves and sunglasses
Meanwhile, the 57-year-old Friday star stunned in a figure-hugging black ruffled dress, which she paired with a bubblegum pink Balenciaga handbag and heels.
The show comes after the luxury fashion house faced massive controversy over a year ago when consumers claimed that its advertising campaign, which featured children posing with bears in BDSM gear, promoted “child exploitation”.

Kardashian paired her outfit with a black zip-up sports jacket with a white Beverly Hills logo. She wore her raven locks parted in the middle and cascaded down in a curly wet look.
The mother of four protected her eyes with a pair of futuristic sunglasses.
She carried an Erewhon tote bag with a bouquet of flowers as she promoted the new collaboration between the luxury fashion house and the upscale grocery store.
“This is my handbag for the day.” There are flowers in it. “I’ll give it to Demna later,” she told Variety, referring to Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia.
Following the show, Kardashian told the outlet that the “collection was amazing” and that she liked the “Juicy Couture-inspired sweatshirts” at the start of the show.
She was joined by sister Kendall Jenner, 28, who wowed in a sleeveless black maxi dress.
Kim initially faced backlash for refusing to cut ties with the brand and praising the way it handled the scandal, despite claiming to be “shocked” and “disgusted” by the images.
She has since made her loyalty clear by taking part in an ad for Balenciaga’s upcoming Summer 2024 collection.
For the brand’s latest campaign, she posed in a black latex dress and knee-high boots.
Back in November 2022, the fashion house came under heavy fire after it released an ad that featured children posing next to various BDSM-themed items.

Afterwards, the SKIMS founder, who had previously done business with the company for several years, refused to cut ties with Balenciaga, but released a statement saying she was “shocked” and “disgusted” by the images.
“I’ve been quiet these past few days, not because I wasn’t shocked and outraged by Balenciaga’s recent campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to talk to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened,” she said said in an Instagram post.
“As a mother of four children, these disturbing images shocked me. “Children’s safety must be a top priority and anything that violates this should have no place in our society – period.”
However, Kim said she was pleased with the company’s response to the scandal, adding: “I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology.”
“When I talk to them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the problem and will take the necessary measures to ensure that something like this never happens again.”
At the time, she said she was reconsidering her relationship with the fashion brand but hadn’t made many firm decisions yet.
“Concerning my future at Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand based on their willingness to take responsibility for something that should never have happened – and the actions I expect from them.” Protect children.’
A month later, during an appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast, she expressed her frustration with the public’s reaction to her statement.
