Style? Kim Kardashian has it in the bag.
The 45-year-old fashion plate attended a performance of “The Fear of 13” on Broadway Sunday wearing a vintage Dior by John Galliano cheongsam dress from the house’s fall 1997 collection, which recently sold on 1stDibs for $5,500.
But it was Kardashian’s comically tiny handbag that really made a statement.
Kardashian carried a minuscule metal Hermès Kelly bag that measures 11 centimeters wide (just over 4 inches) and 7 centimeters tall (just under 3 inches). She was fortunately flanked by security guards who could hold her belongings, as the impossibly tiny bag is only big enough to fit a few credit cards.
The purse a limited-edition sterling silver Kellymorphose Sac Bijou released in 2021 as part of a jewelry collection based on the French brand’s iconic handbags.
Designed by Pierre Hardy, the fully articulated piece can be worn as a necklace or — à la Kardashian — held daintily by the hand. It’s currently available to purchase on the luxury secondhand market for between $84,000 and $100,000.
A longtime collector of rare Hermès bags, Kardashian also owns multiple Mini Kellys, a Himalaya Birkin — which can fetch up to half a million dollars at resale — and a Jean Paul Gaultier-designed Shoulder Birkin, among other prized finds.
She is a producer of “The Fear of 13,” which is based on a real story and stars Adrien Brody as prisoner Nick Yarris who spends more than two decades on death row for a murder he says he did not commit.
“My commitment to criminal justice reform has always been about more than just policy – it’s about people. I’ve learned that sometimes the most effective way to change minds is through a powerful story,” Kim wrote in a blurb for the play’s website.
“The Fear of 13 is that story. It’s a raw, honest look at Nick Yarris’s wrongful conviction and the systemic failures that kept him behind bars for twenty years. I couldn’t be prouder to make my Broadway producing debut with a project that carries such vital weight,” she added.
Mom Kris Jenner as well as sister Kylie Jenner and boyfriend Timothée Chalamet attended the same showing on Sunday.
The famous family is in town for the Met Gala, which will take place Monday night. In 2024, the Skims founder wore a waist-whittling John Galliano for Maison Margiela design; perhaps her Sunday night outfit was a teaser for what’s to come?
