In a rare moment of fashion approval, fans online are praising Kim Kardashian’s recent holiday ensemble as one of her best looks yet. See here!
At this year’s SKIMS holiday party, the shapewear mogul stepped out in a sleek black velvet gown featuring a high neckline, long sleeves, crisscross detailing along the sides, and a ribbon bow at the waist.

For glam, the mother of four stuck to her signature full-beat makeup with a glossy lip while wearing her dark hair styled in a polished side part.
Fans online praised the look as thoughtful and chic, flooding Instagram and Reddit with compliments for the reality star.
“She looks appropriate and so pretty and festive here,” said one fan. A second commented, “Good choice, Kim.” A third wrote, “Finally, a pretty outfit.” Someone else said, “This look is everything!!” Another person quipped, “She looks so beautiful!!!!! I love the hair.”
The ex-wife of Kanye West has been juggling a packed schedule, from raising four children as a single mom to running multiple businesses, filming her reality show, acting in All's Fair, and most recently preparing for the bar exam. After months of studying, Kim revealed that she did not pass the California State Bar exam and opened up about how she felt following the disappointing results.

Kim Kardashian Talks About Failing The Bar Exam
Speaking with TIME magazine, the 45-year-old shared, “I took a minute to process that, and instantly, when I got my results, I didn’t feel good about it. I was really uncomfortable and not confident for a while.”
She explained that because the results would become public quickly, she wanted to address it herself. “You get the results on a Friday, and I knew Sunday morning they were going to be live on the internet. So I wanted to mention it first and let people know that it didn’t go my way.”
Kim admitted that failing “really sucks,” especially after dedicating so much time to studying and knowing what she “can do better.” Still, she tried to stay resilient. “I’m pretty good at taking a failure and turning it into something, and I just don’t have the time to dwell,” she said, adding, “You can feel sorry for yourself for a second, but I need to take that time and put it into studying more.”
Inspired by her late father, Robert Kardashian, Kim began studying law in 2019 through California’s nontraditional Law Office Study Program (LOSP), which allows students to train under practicing attorneys instead of attending law school. After failing three times, she passed the First-Year Law Students’ Examination, known as the “baby bar,” in December 2021. She went on to complete six years of legal studies and sat for the full California bar exam in July 2025 but ultimately did not pass.
