Kim Kardashian elevated Christmas Eve into a spectacular fashion event by donning a vintage designer gown with nearly four decades of history. While many celebrities opted for cozy holiday pajamas or more laid-back family outfits, the SKIMS founder chose to embrace glamour in a striking way.
In a recent Instagram post, Kardashian revealed her show-stopping look, featuring a rare archival gown from Thierry Mugler’s 1986 Hiver Russe collection, previously graced by the legendary model Iman on the runway. The gown, a figure-hugging masterpiece, showcased a strapless corset top paired with a mermaid-cut skirt embellished with black textured accents at the bust, waist, and hem that added a dramatic flair.
Kardashian completed her winter wonderland ensemble with diamond-studded accessories and a retro-inspired brushed-up hairstyle. She captioned her post, “CHRISTMAS EVE 2025 Thierry Mugler 1986,” prompting an outpouring of admiration in the comment section. Her sister, Khloe Kardashian, expressed her appreciation, stating, “Talk about fab and festive,” while celebrity makeup artist Ash Kholm added, “Lovvvvve this look on you!!!”
Fans were equally impressed, with one follower humorously noting, “You said you failed the bar, but this is looking like you raised it.” Others playfully remarked, “The mug has never mugged harder,” and joked, “She dressed like rent is DUE… for everybody.”
This year, the Kardashian-Jenner family opted for a more intimate celebration, adorning their gathering in a white, silver, and black color scheme. Khloe Kardashian reiterated their love for dressing up during the holidays, emphasizing that they wanted to celebrate with style. Along with Kim, Kendall Jenner also opted for a vintage Mugler look, wearing a white fur-trimmed blazer paired with a matching skirt, while Kylie Jenner chose a striking black strapless gown from John Galliano’s Fall/Winter 1995 collection.
Amid a festive atmosphere, the Kardashian-Jenner family’s choices underscore their commitment to fashion and festive celebration, showcasing that style and glamour remain at the forefront of their holiday festivities.
