Kim Kardashian has always had a flair for high fashion, revealing she was rocking designer labels even back in high school, Daily Mail reports.
The makeup mogul and reality star has dominated the biggest red carpets recently, from the Met Gala to the SNL 50th Anniversary, showing off some of the most coveted ensembles.
For her first White House Correspondents Dinner in 2010, Kim Kardashian stunned in a vintage black-and-white Valentino gown.
More recently, she wore Marilyn Monroe’s iconic ‘Happy Birthday, Mr. President’ dress.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Kim Kardashian proved her fashion obsession started early.
She shared a throwback photo of herself at around 13, wearing a chic black Alaia dress—designer pieces that retail for thousands at Neiman Marcus.
‘The year was 1993, it was Sarah’s Bat Mitzvah. I’m wearing my mom’s Alaia dress and Revlon Rum Raisin lipstick thinking we were the coolest!’ Kim captioned the snap.
The Instagram post comes after Kim weighed in on the so-called ‘Kardashian curse’ during her Tuesday appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, putting the rumor to rest.
The SKIMS founder dismissed the idea that she or her sisters have some sort of magical power to sabotage their exes’ lives after a breakup.
‘I always really hated that, I really did,’ Kim said. ‘I think it’s really unfair to say that women are the problem when it comes to issues that our exes might be dealing with and that they had those issues before.’
Instead of a curse, Kim pointed to what she sees as a pattern of good fortune for her exes.
‘If you want to talk about the positive, I mean, my mom was with a gold medal Olympian,’ she said, referring to Caitlyn Jenner.
‘When Khloe [Kardashian] was with Lamar [Odom], there was championships being won with the Lakers.
‘I was dating a football player and he won the Super Bowl—there was really positive, amazing things that happened.’
The football player is most likely Kim’s former boyfriend Reggie Bush, who captured the Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints in 2010.
Kim Kardashian also opened up about the lasting toll of her ‘toxic’ marriage to Kanye West, admitting she still struggles with dating and the challenges of co-parenting.
The reality star reflected on their nine-year relationship, saying she was first drawn to Kanye because of his intellect, calling him ‘larger than life’ and remembering that they had ‘such a fun time’ together.
But things quickly shifted as Kanye, who has been open about his mental health struggles, began turning on Kim and her family.
‘When someone has like their first mental break, you want to be super supportive and you want to help figure that out and be there for them,’ she said.
‘But when someone isn’t willing to make changes that I think would’ve been super healthy and beneficial, it makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic.’
Kim, who shares North, 12, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six, with Kanye, said having children made it even harder to walk away, as she clung to the hope that he would get better.
In 2016, Kanye was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after a psychiatric hospitalization, though he later claimed he had been misdiagnosed.
When things didn’t improve, Kim knew it was time to leave and set a positive example for their children.
‘I had to save myself in order to be a better mom for everyone,’ she explained. ‘And I think when everyone’s older they’ll be able to understand it and see that all.’
Asked about the ‘final straw,’ she said, ‘There was just a lot of things that I wouldn’t deal with. I didn’t like the talking bad about my kids’ grandmother, aunts—if someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together.
‘You know, airing out a lot of stuff, a lot of personal stuff.’
