Kim Kardashian showcased her sexy curves at Balenciaga's fall 2025 couture show; however, her runway performance left much to be desired in the eyes of fans.

Kim made a sizzling return to Balenciaga's runway during the 2025 Paris Fashion Week to support creative director Demna Gvasalia's last show with the brand. She shared moments from the event on Instagram, capturing her ode to the late Elizabeth Taylor.

The dress she wore honored the late actress, who rocked a similar design in the 1958 film "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." However, her stunning looks did not overshadow her messy runway performance, in the opinion of critics, and they relentlessly trolled Kim in the comments.

"Kim walks like her tampons slippin'," someone declared, with another comparing her catwalk performance to someone discreetly walking to the bathroom after eating a Taco Bell.

An IG user labeled the entertainer's strut a "drunken walk," adding that Kim would never be an icon like Taylor or Marilyn Monroe.

The teasing continued with a fan acknowledging Kim's sexy appearance and stunning dress, but they wondered where the desired walk went. A fellow critic theorised the reality TV star was "high as hell walking down that runway," while others referenced her infamous Paris robbery.

"Posting those diamonds again, Kim, you don't seem to learn, oh boy," someone cautioned Kim. Another jokingly asked if she did not lose the diamonds she rocked at Wednesday's event. An IG user echoed similar sentiments, wondering if the entertainer should be allowed to rock expensive jewelry, given her history.

In the pictures Kim shared on Instagram, she donned an ivory midi dress that clung to her body in all the right places. The outfit's lace neckline featured a plunging V-shaped design that showcased ample cleavage, while the slender fit ended just below Kim's knees.

As stated, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" alum completed the elegant number with gorgeous diamond necklaces and matching chandelier earrings, exuding old-money vibes with her side-parted bob. Kim added a fur coat and stiletto heels while her makeup served a foxy yet delicate charm.

"Walking Demna's last Balenciaga Couture show dripping in Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and wearing Elizabeth Taylor's own diamond earrings from her private collection," she captioned the post. Despite criticisms of her runway performance, Kim's post received over 200,000 likes in under two hours.
