Kim Kardashian Sparkles in Crystal Skims x Swarovski at NYC Store Opening
Last night, reality star turned shapewear mogul Kim Kardashian glittered from head to toe in a dazzling crystal ensemble at the star-studded opening of Swarovski’s new Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York City. Kardashian, who recently launched a Swarovski collaboration with her popular Skims brand, embraced the partnership fully by wearing skimpy, sparkling creations from the limited-edition line to celebrate at the event.
Oozing Hollywood glamour, Kardashian looked every inch the screen siren in a barely-there crystal halter top and matching micro mini skirt that showed off her enviable curves. Her embellished top featured an open back secured with delicate silver chain straps, echoing the glittering columns of hanging Swarovski crystals that decorated the new boutique. Ever the trendsetter, Kardashian boldly went bare under the revealing top, letting the geometric crystals take center stage. While her sculpted shoulders and décolletage were on full display, she kept the look demure with high-waisted cotton boxer shorts peeking out beneath her shimmering skirt, also from the new Swarovski x Skims collaboration.
With her raven tresses swept into a sleek updo and a glamorous beauty look featuring smoky eyes and nude lips, Kardashian looked every inch the modern fashion icon as she mingled with A-list guests at the star-studded event. As cameras flashed, her dazzling ensemble glittered brilliantly under the lights, the crystals catching the glow. She completed the head-to-toe look with strappy clear heels, elongating her legs and showing off her pedicure.
Fans hoping to emulate Kardashian’s dazzling party style were out of luck, however, as the limited edition Swarovski x Skims partnership almost immediately sold out online after launching earlier that day. The brand’s cult-favorite Cotton Rib Boxers, which peeked out under Kardashian’s micro mini, disappeared from the site in a blink. Those determined to sparkle like Kim can sign up for the wait list for pieces like the crystal Stretch Net Miniskirt she modeled, as her glitzy aesthetic clearly resonated with customers.
Kardashian first created major buzz by announcing the Swarovski collaboration in a series of sultry Instagram photos giving a nod to Britney Spears’ iconic “Toxic” video. If the sell-out success is any indication, Kardashian’s influence remains stronger than ever. Last night’s head-turning crystal look certainly proves she knows how to shine a spotlight on new partnerships with show-stopping style.
