Kim Kardashian brought a bold vintage look to New York, wearing a deep orange Paco Rabanne Haute Couture dress that firmly put her curves in the spotlight. The reality star shared the look on Instagram, revealing she wore an archival design from the label’s Spring/Summer 1996 collection.
Kim Kardashian’s eye-catching Paco Rabanne dress shows off her curves
The peach-orange gown featured a plunging neckline and a figure-hugging silhouette. Its extraordinary detailing comes from an intricate gold-toned mesh that covers the dress from its straps to its floor-length hem.
The ornate framework created a series of geometric shapes on the bodice, waist and hips, leaving parts of the orange fabric exposed. As a result, the design created an attractive cutout effect without losing its sculptural structure.
The gown’s thin straps continued in the decorative pattern, framing the neckline and accenting the gold detailing down the bodice. Meanwhile, the fitted skirt flowed to the floor-length hem, balancing the intricate embellishments with a smooth silhouette. Fans immediately praised the look, with one commenting, “She suits this color so much!!!!” Others simply wrote, “Looking good” and “Beautiful dress.”
The appearance also continued Kardashian’s recent interest in the designer’s collections. Last month, she celebrated her birthday in two versions of the Paco Rabanne metal-mesh kaftan from the house’s vintage haute couture collection. Those dazzling pieces rested on fused metal discs, offering a very different take on the designer’s signature futuristic glamour.
Kardashian also wore another archival Raban creation for her “Good Morning America” appearance while promoting the second season of Hulu’s “All’s Fair.” That gown came from the Spring 1989 Haute Couture collection. It featured a one-shoulder top made entirely of metal discs, with one short sleeve and a draped satin skirt.
The vintage designs show how Kardashian is continuing Paco Rabanne’s experimental approach to fashion. Whether she chooses a metal-disc construction or a bold orange cutout gown, the collection offers plenty of statement-making pieces.
