Kim Kardashian Just Wore One Of Carrie Bradshaw’s Most Iconic Outfits

As far as fashion influencers come, Kim Kardashian West and Carrie Bradshaw are pretty on par. One helped bike shorts, neon and lurex return and one can be credited with launching Manolo Blahnik to success, popularising the baguette bag and changing the way we thought about tulle skirts. Same same but different.

Now, the pair have collided in an unlikely way, with Kardashian West wearing of Carrie’s most iconic looks: the famous Dior newspaper print.

Stepping out for an event in Los Angeles yesterday, Kardashian West opted to channel the Sex and the City character in the best possible way. Donning a John Galliano skirt in the same newspaper print worn by Sarah Jessica Parker’s character, the beauty mogul and mother-of-four looked all the part a ‘00s vision.

The skirt, which comes from the same collection as the dress, hails from Dior’s autumn/winter 2000 collection and is widely known as one of the most famous collections from the designer. Worn by Carrie in a memorable episode of SATC, it’s one any fan will recognise instantly.

🗞PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE THOT MOMENT🗞 We can all agree that this John Galliano for Christian Dior newsprint dress is the fucking LOOK. However, surprising an acquaintance whose marriage you destroyed in this dress is NOT. The Dior newsprint dress has a sordid history befitting #FuckingCarrie. Galliano lifted the idea from a brilliant 1935 Elsa Schiaparelli print comprised of her own press clippings. The "Christian Dior Daily" print debuted during the infamous "Hobo Chic" couture collection of 2000. Galliano was inspired by the homeless people that he saw on the streets of Paris, presumably at 3AM during a Moët and coke-fueled bender. He also drew inspiration from Tramp Balls, which were essentially lavish 1920's-30's-era parties where Parisian socialites dressed up like poor people for fun. The show enraged critics and inspired the unforgettable "Derelicte" collection in Zoolander. Not fully satisfied with his flagrant aestheticization of poverty, Galliano reworked the newsprint theme into his next Ready-to-Wear show and this dress was born. So if you thought that Carrie was an insensitive bitch for stalking Natasha and ruining her marriage and lunch, remember that she is also a heartless bitch for appropriating destitution. But who are we kidding? This dress is, and will always be, everything. (S3/EP17) #CarrieBradshaw #MakeDiorThottyAgain #JohnGalliano #ElsaSchiaparelli #HoboChic #Derelicte #Iconic

However, Kardashian’s biggest nod to the era came by way of her footwear — simple Yeezy flip flops, complete with a tiny heel.

The heeled thong is back and it’s officially 2001 again, people.
