The mogul got on her Instagram Story to provide a brief context for the 2014 incident where she walked out of a building without North on her arm.

Upon getting to her vehicle, the star made a U-turn into the building and re-emerged with North while making her way through camera flashes. Responding to a fan page that shared the clip, Kim reposted the video with a caption that read:

"I wanted to show the look off before holding her bc her outfit didn't match mine! I didn't forget her!!!"

This account differs slightly from the one the star shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) in 2014, where she stated that she "went to the car to make sure the car seat was in because the day before we had a car seat issue."

In May, Kim arrived at a courthouse in Paris to testify against the men who robbed her at gunpoint in the City of Light. Her mom, Kris Jenner, accompanied her as they stole a few shots with the paparazzi before heading in for the hearing.

Kim served high fashion in a vintage John Galliano blazer dress paired with Saint Laurent slingbacks and Alaïa sunglasses. She topped off the look with a statement necklace by Samer Halimeh New York, diamond earrings, including a Briony Raymond ear cuff worth $8,500, and a massive rock on her finger.

The total estimate of her jewelry was about $1.5 million, a sharp detour from the modest life she famously adopted since the robbers stormed her suite at the Hôtel de Pourtalès during Paris Fashion Week over a decade ago.

Kim's trip to Paris in 2025 was no short of eventful as she showed up on Balenciaga's runway during Paris 2025 Fashion Week in support of her pal and Balenciaga's creative director, Demna Gvasalia.

As shared by The Blast, the show was Demna's last for the brand, and Kim was dressed to honor Elizabeth Taylor in an outfit with a similar design to the actress' dress in the movie "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

Critics swarmed in on her looks for the show, claiming she walked like someone taking a trip to the restroom after feasting on a big meal from Taco Bell.

More comments slammed her for her "drunken walk," stressing that she would never be on the same level as Elizabeth or the iconic Marilyn Monroe.
