Kim Kardashian wore Ice Spice’s silver cut-out bodysuit 20 years ago
Kanye West may be credited with Kim Kardashian's fashion awakening – even by the SKIMS founder herself, who has previously thanked her ex-husband for introducing her to designers and initiating her acceptance amongst industry insiders – but the reality TV star has always been a style icon. A fact proven by Ice Spice, who took inspiration from Kim's early-fame aesthetic over the weekend.
Allow us to explain. To attend her album release party, Ice arrived wearing a Louis Vuitton silver backless bodysuit. From the halterneck silhouette to the *huge* torso cut-out and all-over branded embossing, the design embodied peak noughties style. Fittingly so, as her new album is called Y2K.
The 'fit was obviously from the era, tapping into the latest A-lister trend of celebs wearing vintage (hello Bella Hadid, we see you Kendall Jenner). But more than just ensuring her ensemble aligned with her record title, Ice Spice revealed on Instagram the look was pulled straight from Kim's noughties wardrobe.
Scroll to the penultimate slide to see:
In the throwback snap, Kim can be seen linking arms with fellow Y2K queen Paris Hilton wearing the statement bodysuit paired with a low-rise silver sequin embellished white gypsy skirt. (Yet another retro trend that's come back around thanks to the boho revival.) Kim accessorised her look with oversized tinted aviator sunglasses and an XL silver top handle Louis Vuitton handbag, Paris clutching a gold version of the same bag in the pic.
Back to 2024, though. Rather than recreate Kim's full look, Ice wore the bodysuit with the tiniest bum-flashing micro mini skirt we've ever seen. With a thick double buckle side belt and hip-high leg slit, the silver skirt was still remnant of the decade, sticking to the evening's unofficial dress code. As did the oversized silver butterfly chain necklace Ice accessorised with. White frame wraparound sunglasses and silver sparkly heels completed the look.
Though judging by the second slide in Ice's post, it looks like she did give a further nod to Kim by also toting the same silver LV bag. From one icon to another, we love to see it.
