Kim Kardashian knows how to eschew the codified âbillionaire clubâ uniform.
Earlier in the month, the reality star and business maven quelled the presumption held by Waystar Royco CEO, Tom Wambsgans, that carrying âludicrously capaciousâ bags was an âenormous faux pasâ. Proving the fictional âdisgusting brotherâ wrong, the 43-year-old toted an oversized grey crocodile skin HermĂšs Haut Ă courroies worth AUD $166,000 to attend business meetings while in New York.
Now, the SKIMS founder is taking sartorial cues from real-life magnates. namely tech tycoons Mark Zuckerburg and Jeff Bezos, by wearing flip flops worth AUD $650.
Kardashian is no stranger to unconventional footwear, with Balenciagaâs pantaboot a mainstay within her shoe arsenal. But to attend her eight-year-old sonâs Basketball game, Kardashian looked to a more grounded silhouette from the French maison. Namely, the sold-out micro-foam flip sandals.
As the name suggests, the style consists of a tabi-style sole and requires wearers to fold the back section of the shoe over the top of their foot to fasten the shoe to the toe attachment. Quite a lot of labour from a shoe designed for the one percent.
Bringing off-the-runway chic to after-school-sport pick up is something weâve come to expect from Kardashian. Yet, weâve never seen the burgeoning actress sport an ensemble so similar to the traditional âmum-on-the-runâ uniform.
For the occasion, Kardashian wore black track pants and two black zip-up hoodies. She also carried a reusable white porcelain coffee cup from Balenciaga worth AUD$160.
This isnât a lesson in quiet luxury, per se. But rather further proof that the rich and famous are no longer interested in parading around their exclusive neighbourhoods in chintzy, red carpet-ready sets.
Plus, if youâre an adherent of Kardashianâs street style, this look has the benefit of being easily replicable, especially at a budget price point.
