Kim Kardashian’s glamorous evening had two very different acts.
The Skims founder, 44, spent Saturday night at the Academy Museum Gala 2025 in Los Angeles wearing a face-covering Maison Margiela gown that stopped fans in their tracks. And annoyed her makeup artist.
For the after party, though, she changed out of the polarizing look into a piece of grunge history: the black satin John Galliano corset top that Courtney Love wore to the 1995 VMAs.
She paired it with high-waisted black Skims capri pants and high-heeled pumps, slicking her hair back into an artful updo.
The top recently sold on 1stDibs for more than $10,500 under the name “Victorian 1994 SS Runway Velvet Lace Blazer Corset Jacket.”
The Hole frontwoman originally wore the piece to MTV’s awards show three decades ago, crashing an interview with Madonna and struggling to stand in front of the cameras, cementing the Galliano top’s place in ’90s fashion lore.
