For the laid-back occasion, she wore her platinum blonde hair in loose waves cascading down her back and shoulders. This sighting comes after Kim posted more photos in Janet Jackson's iconic 'If' outfit, which she bought for $25K at a 2021 auction. Following her controversial choice to wear the two-piece outfit to Jackson's concert in Palm Desert earlier this month, Kim shared outtakes from the night on Monday.
She captioned the slideshow with lyrics from one of Janet's songs: "that's the way love goes." Kim was joined by her younger sister Khloe Kardashian, 39, and their mom Kris Jenner, 68, in some of the snapshots. The SKIMS founder bared her taut tummy in the black ensemble, which included a cropped vest and matching suede fringed trousers.

Upon revealing her attendance at Jackson's concert in the archival look, social media users flocked to X to criticize her choice. Complaints ranged from accusations of "buying historical pieces just for the kick of it" to calling her actions "cringe." Some users questioned why she owned so many of the Jacksons' clothes and whether she would damage them like she supposedly did Marilyn Monroe’s dress at the 2022 Met Gala. However, the dress's owner confirmed Kim did not damage the gown.
Despite the backlash from Janet Jackson fans, the singer herself gave Kim her blessing when she acquired the outfit. In May 2021, Kim posted a photo of Janet in the 'If' video, expressing her excitement over winning the outfit. Janet reposted it, thanking Kim and expressing hope that the outfit brought her as much joy as it did Janet.
Juliens Auctions also announced Kim's purchase on X, celebrating the sale of the custom-made top and black pants worn by Janet Jackson in her 1993 'If' music video for $25,000. The pants feature fringe along the sides, while the cropped vest includes buttons and white shell details. Kim accessorized with a coordinating choker for the concert.

Known for her showstopping fashion, Kim often references historic sartorial moments. She caused a stir in 2022 by wearing the custom-made gown Monroe famously wore in 1962 to the Met Gala. Kim has also drawn fashion inspiration from stars like Cher, Aaliyah, and Sophia Loren.
