PARIS – Kim Kardashian became the centre of online ridicule following her appearance at Paris Fashion Week, where footage of her walk in a Balenciaga outfit sparked a flurry of memes and criticism across social media platforms.
Viral Moment Draws Mixed Reactions
Kardashian, known for her high-profile fashion collaborations, walked the Balenciaga runway in a dramatic look featuring ultra-high heels and a structured black outfit. However, a video of her struggling to maintain balance quickly circulated online, prompting viewers to dub it the “drunk walk.” Some accused her of being intoxicated, while others mocked the exaggerated movements as overly theatrical.
Industry and Fan Response
While many on social media found the moment humorous, several fashion experts and stylists defended Kardashian. They argued that the fashion industry often embraces unconventional walks and that the exaggerated strut was likely intentional and aligned with Balenciaga’s avant-garde aesthetic.
Kardashian has yet to respond to the viral moment, though she shared behind-the-scenes photos from the event, thanking the brand for the opportunity. Her fans applauded her confidence and willingness to take risks, while critics questioned whether the performance detracted from the fashion on display.
The incident has reignited debate over the role of celebrities in high fashion and the blurred line between performance and authenticity on the runway.
