Kim Kardashian just brought Barbiecore back in a bold way—despite the backlash from critics.
On Tuesday, the reality star—who was recently in Venice for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding—stepped out in Paris for a Balenciaga fitting wearing a striking neon pink ensemble by the fashion house. The eye-catching look included a hot pink gown with a halter neckline, a bow detail at the chest, and a dramatic backless silhouette.

Kim Kardashian Turns Heads in a Barbie-Pink Dress
The mother of four paired the dress with Balenciaga’s signature pantaboots and finished the look with futuristic sunglasses, setting clips, and a sleek side-parted bob.
While the outfit was typical of Kim—who's known for rocking similar styles—social media users had plenty to say about her latest look, and most of the feedback wasn’t exactly flattering.
On JustJared's Instagram comment section, one user wrote, "What a terrible outfit." Another person said, "Super cheap as always." Someone else wrote, "What is up with those hair clips?" "Her mother has better style than this, so tacky," commented another user. "Time to hire a stylist," said another person.
