Kim Kardashian Steps Out in Paris Wearing Vintage Givenchy by Alexander McQueen for Her Birthday

By Alexus Mosley

When it comes to Kim Kardashian and birthday looks, we can always count on her to leave us in awe.

Celebrating in Paris, Kardashian stepped out wearing Givenchy by Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 1997 couture, a breathtaking piece from McQueen’s early tenure at the storied French maison. The look, with its sculptural precision and undercurrent of dark romanticism, embodies everything that made McQueen’s work so revolutionary. It is the marriage of fragility and strength, elegance and edge.

Originally part of McQueen’s debut season as Givenchy’s creative director and modeled by supermodel Naomi Campbell, the 1997 collection fused classical couture techniques with his signature sense of rebellion. By choosing this piece nearly three decades later, Kim reintroduced one of fashion’s most dramatic eras to a new generation, proving that true couture transcends time.

Completing the look with her trademark sleek bun and modern minimalism, the archival piece felt both nostalgic and current, a testament to how today’s icons are rewriting the rules of fashion preservation. In an age of trend cycles and fast fashion, this moment reminded us that the past can still command the present.
