The 44-year-old reality star, who has been criticized for creating an embarrassing situation by using a sleek black foot scooter with a broken foot while wearing high heels, made a bold entrance at the Midtown venue. In photos from the event, she was seen wearing a figure-hugging cream ensemble, carrying a small white handbag, and sporting SKIMS-inspired nail art.
For her outfit, Kim Kardashian wore a strapless corset top with a plunging neckline, featuring a silver zipper and adjustable flair. She paired the bold top with matching pants, creating an elegant look that accentuated her curves. Despite her injury, Kim opted for clear, open-toe heels, demonstrating her commitment to fashion.

The SKIMS store, which spans 6,750 square feet across four floors, attracted several celebrity guests, including Paris Hilton, Cardi B, Ice Spice, and Ciara.
Notably, Kardashian has not revealed how she injured her foot, though she is known for her love of skiing and features in the campaign for SKIMS' limited edition collection of winter gear. This isn’t her first injury—earlier this year, she shared a painful experience of breaking her fingers, describing it as more painful than childbirth, as per The US Sun.
