Kim Kardashian’s holiday wardrobe has become its own tradition – equal parts theatrical, directional, and unmistakably hers. Rather than chasing novelty, she often returns to designers who understand her visual
language, shaping looks that feel both personal and headline-worthy. This New Year’s Day, Kim once again leaned into that philosophy, stepping out in a textured, retro-inflected ensemble that balanced coverage with couture-level drama.
Ludovic de Saint Sernin has emerged as one of Kim Kardashian’s go-to labels for statement moments, especially during the festive season. Previously, she turned heads in a crimson maxi dress by the designer for the SKIMS holiday party, and her latest outing reinforced the partnership’s aesthetic alignment with bold materials, corseted silhouettes, and a strong sense of body-conscious structure.

Photographed outside Casa Tua in Aspen, Kim’s look played with contrast rather than exposure. While others opted for sheer or skin-baring styles, she embraced full coverage with a distinctly retro edge. The focal point was a pair of burgundy leather pants featuring the designer’s signature front lacing. She layered the statement trousers with a taupe corset finished in crushed velvet, introducing softness against the rigidity of leather. The interplay of textures – smooth, plush, and structured – created depth without relying on colour alone.
Where the look truly leaned into drama was in its outerwear. Kim topped the fitted base layers with multiple fur pieces, including an ankle-length coat and a coordinating stole. The voluminous textures softened the silhouette while adding a sense of old-Hollywood grandeur. The fur, which appeared vintage, also brought a sense of heritage and intentionality, transforming the outfit from styled to cinematic.
Kim Kardashian’s New Year’s ensemble was less about spectacle and more about control. By choosing texture over skin and structure over sparkle, she delivered a look that felt grounded yet luxurious. It was a reminder that modern glamour doesn’t always shout. Sometimes, it’s the quiet confidence of knowing exactly what works.
