Kravis’ Triumphant Return: Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Stun in Matching Suits at the 2023 Emmys. In their first red carpet appearance since welcoming a new addition to their family last November, reality star turned wellness entrepreneur Kourtney Kardashian and her husband, musician Travis Barker, brought old Hollywood glamour to the 2023 Emmy Awards held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on February 16th. The couple, affectionately known by fans as “Kravis,” complemented each other perfectly in sleek black suits and small, thoughtful details that nodded to their rock n’ roll aesthetic.
Kardashian exuded sophistication in an oversized double-breasted blazer with strong shoulders, a plunging neckline, and trousers with a relaxed yet tailored fit. Her ensemble echoed the tuxedo style that has become synonymous with female empowerment over the years, pioneered by icons like Marlene Dietrich, Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking, and Annie Lennox’s iconic Grammy ensemble. The monochromatic color scheme allowed the intricate lace bralette underneath to take center stage, adding a touch of Kardashian’s signature sultriness to the otherwise refined look.
She finished off the outfit with pointed-toe stilettos, a sleek updo, diamond drop earrings, and a black clutch – plus the unexpected addition of leather gloves in true gothic fashion. Meanwhile, Barker played off his wife’s ensemble perfectly in a three-piece suit consisting of a double-breasted blazer, formal shirt, silk bow tie, and fitted trousers. He, too, indulged in monochromatic black hues, allowing small intricacies to shine through: silver statement rings adorning his fingers, geometric tattoos peeking out from his collar, and an edgy pair of heeled leather boots rather than traditional dress shoes. His blue-tinted sunglasses added a rock star twist befitting his career as an internationally renowned drummer.
The couple has always drawn eyes with their overt displays of attraction, including this latest carpet walk which saw them holding hands, embracing, and showing off Kardashian’s dazzling emerald-cut diamond engagement ring. Their chemistry was electric as they posed playfully for photographs as one of Hollywood’s most passionately devoted pairs. Combined with the impeccable tailoring of their his-and-her suits, it served as a testament to their everlasting love.
It seems black is the paramount color of the year – a hue we’re bound to see dominating many a red carpet as awards season continues. Kravis’ twin looks demonstrate the versatility of this non-color through varying textures, accents, and accessories while still achieving a cohesive, eye-catching ensemble. As two fashion power players with their own distinct aesthetics, their first joint red carpet moment of the year sets an exciting tone for celebrity style in 2023. We eagerly anticipate what other twin looks they debut next as they navigate life with their new baby boy!
