Kim Kardashian was one of many stars in attendance a the Caring for Women Dinner hosted by The Kering Foundation in New York City on Sept. 9. Co-hosting the philanthropic event alongside notable names like Salma Hayek and Priyanka Chopra, Kardashian complemented a white leather dress with knife-life black pumps.
The SKIMS founder went with her signature fitted look, wearing a tight ankle-length dress made of a material with a latex-like shine. The sleeveless dress boasted a textured ruching effect and a scalloped trim along the scooped neckline.
The medium-width straps were also enhanced with a non-linear outline. Kardashian went light on the accessories, embracing a minimalist aesthetic. Meanwhile, her hair was worn out in long gelled waves that recalled her 2019 Met Gala look which was meant to evoke a woman stepping out of the ocean.
Kardashian slipped on patent leather pumps to round out the ensemble and bring to life the timeless black and white color combination. Staying true to the classic pump formation, the shoes were enclosed in the front, back and along the sides while the top of the foot was allowed to breathe with a low vamp.
Clean and discernible lines create the quintessential pump silhouette, from the arched sole to the narrow stiletto heel. While pumps come in many variations, the pointed-toe iteration is one of the most popular for the way in which it easily sharpens an ensemble. A glossy patent leather pair like Kardashian’s can be found from a myriad of brands, whether it’s Jimmy Choo or Nine West.
Speaking of sharp pumps, Kardashian wore Balenciaga’s Draped Pantabodysuit earlier this year; the outfit comes with the Knife pump style built in, creating a uniform look. In another Balenciaga moment this year, she paired the brand’s Witch 110 mm boots with a long fitted gray dress.
