It was all business in the front and party in the back for Kim Kardashian last night, who hosted her Skims holiday party in West Hollywood.
Stepping out for the occasion, the multi-hyphenate star picked out a classic yet festive black dress, trading her typical skin-baring pieces for something a bit more reserved. In what appeared to be a mock-neck long sleeve layered under a skin-tight maxi dress, the look was constructed entirely from soft and shiny black velvet, with eye-catching details almost subtle enough to miss.
From exposed boning that contoured Kardashian’s bodice to braided straps that called back to the star’s streak of hairy looks (and that Skims bush thong), it balanced a timeless feel with playful accents. And, at her waist, a big satin bow made her look like a present, solidifying the piece as the perfect choice for the holiday season.
The back of the look, however, was a bit less subtle in its embellishments. Embracing the bustle trend—a 19th century garment meant to add fullness to the back of women’s dresses that has recently seen a resurgence on runways and red carpets alike—the ensemble was draped with gathers of red silk to reflect the age-old silhouette with a bit of festive flair.
She grabbed a matching bag, gave her hair some smooth waves, layered up with a brown fur stole, and slipped into burgundy heels, making her way to her event looking like the hostess with the mostess.
