The then 33-year-old socialite’s bold style continued at the Givenchy show, where her sister, Kendall, walked the runway.

The ShoeDazzle founder wore a racy lace jumpsuit with a plunging bodice and see-through pants. Her famous cleavage was put on display, but a leather jacket covered her up a bit.

We’re used to seeing Kim in such revealing outfits, but she drew criticisms for dressing up her 15-month-old daughter in a similar see-through outfit.

Two days later, Kim again showed off her décolletage while attending Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book party at the Peninsula Hotel in Paris.

She wore a classier Givenchy ensemble consisting of a low-cut top, trousers, and a tuxedo blazer accented with an oversized brooch.

Reggie Bush’s ex-girlfriend finished the sexy yet sophisticated look with a slicked side-parted ponytail and a red lip shade.

For both occasions, Kim Kardashian opted for black Givenchy lizard-effect “Matilda” leather and velvet sandals that you can buy at Mytheresa.

Kim Kardashian’s choice of Givenchy’s ‘Matilda’ sandals at Paris Fashion Week 2014 reflects a trend among celebrities favoring this distinctive design. Amanda Seyfried, for instance, paired the ‘Matilda’ sandals with a Givenchy slip dress at the 2015 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards, highlighting the sandals’ versatility and appeal.

Selena Gomez also opted for the ‘Matilda’ sandals during a February 2017 appearance in New York City, demonstrating their adaptability across various styles. These instances underscore the ‘Matilda’ sandals’ status as a favored choice among fashion-forward individuals.
