Kim Kardashian made a surprising appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Wednesday night to promote the launch of NikeSkims, her latest fashion collaboration.
The mother of four dazzled in a custom black floor-length latex corset dress by Vex, featuring a daring high slit, paired with black platform mules, a matching choker, and a silver anklet. Her long dark hair was worn down in a sleek middle part, and she completed the look with her signature nude-glam makeup.

Kim Kardashian Steps Out In A Latex Dress For Fallon
Latex continues to be a Kardashian favorite. Her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, has been spotted in latex outfits almost constantly this year, often drawing criticism for what many call tacky or over-the-top looks. It seems Kim Kardashian wasn’t immune to the scrutiny either, as her all-black latex ensemble sparked similar reactions online.
“Their clothes are so dated. Need a new stylist,” said one person on JustJared’s IG account. “In my opinion, this is not class,” wrote someone else. “Vulgar as usual,” said another person. One user said, “They really need to get a new stylist. Whoever is telling them this is a look, it def is not.”
The news follows reports that Kim’s highly anticipated NikeSKIMS collaboration didn’t meet expectations, failing to attract large crowds. Unlike past launches, media outlets noted that turnout was low, with no long lines or massive gatherings despite heavy promotion.
For the campaign, Kim tapped Serena Williams as the face of the collection and even included family members—Khloé, Kris Jenner, and Kylie Jenner’s ex Travis Scott—for the launch event.

The outfits from the collection also faced criticism on social media. Kim opted for a gray full-length bodysuit with the underwear styled on the outside, paired with a matching head cap. Khloé wore a similar black ensemble, while Kris layered an oversized jacket over her activewear look.
Fans thought the entire clan looked ‘ridiculous’ at the launch party as they posed for photos together.
“This is the most hideous line of activewear,” said one user. Another said, “The same style for the past 10 years. She had a great style before Kanye.” A third commented, “Slays what? It's ugly. Who would wear this?” A fifth wrote, “This is the most hideous line of activewear.” Someone else joked, “Now we wear underwear on the outside instead of see-through clothes showing our underwear, got it.” One user wrote, “We desperately need to stop platforming these people.”
