Kim Kardashian Marks SKIMS London Launch Amidst Paris Robbery Compensation Ruling
The entrepreneur showcased multiple outfits while celebrating the opening of her brand's flagship store in London, on the same day a Paris court awarded her nominal damages for a 2016 armed robbery.
Kim Kardashian celebrated the opening of the SKIMS flagship store in London on Friday evening, making multiple wardrobe changes throughout the event. The television personality, 45, was seen in three distinct outfits as she attended the launch and subsequent afterparty.
Earlier in the day, Kardashian was seen with her hairstylist Chris Appleton, ahead of his appearance on the television show 'Strictly Come Dancing.' She was seen in a snakeskin co-ord set, later changing into a figure-hugging nude brown dress with eyelet detailing, a plunging neckline, and a sheer skirt, paired with lace-up heels. Her final outfit for an aftershow party was a skintight brown dress with lace-up detailing.
A number of other stars, including Rochelle Humes, Leomie Anderson, and Ellie Bamber, also attended the SKIMS store launch.
Kardashian's London appearances followed a trip to Paris with boyfriend Lewis Hamilton. The couple were photographed on a dinner date in London on Thursday night. This outing coincided with a ruling by a Paris court, which awarded Kardashian one euro in compensation for damages related to an armed robbery that occurred in the French capital in October 2016. During the incident, Kardashian reported the loss of jewelry valued at $10 million, including a $4 million engagement ring.
Six individuals, described as "les papys braqueurs" or "grandpa robbers" due to their ages, were tried for armed robbery, kidnapping, and other charges. Some of the convicted robbers were in their 60s and 70s at the time of their trial.
Kardashian and Hamilton were first linked in February of the same year and made their relationship public on Instagram in June. Hamilton has since become a regular presence in Kardashian's life, including interactions with her four children: daughters North, 13, and Chicago, eight, and sons Saint, 10, and Psalm, seven. Kardashian shares these children with her ex-husband, Kanye West, whom she married in 2014 and divorced in 2022.
Hamilton's presence in London also followed a racing incident. He had crashed his race car during the final practice session of the Madrid Grand Prix in Spain on Saturday.
