Kim Kardashian is going for gold!
Following her attendance at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars Party held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Sunday, March 15, the SKIMS founder, 45, shared several clips and photos on Instagram that were taken while she was getting ready for the event.
Kardashian posed in a figure-hugging gold Gucci gown on a golf cart alongside the Italian brand’s creative director, Demna, in the first snap. Her shimmering dress debuted on the Milan Fashion Week catwalk last month.
Kardashian paired the gown with platform heels and wore her shoulder-length hair in a tousled side-parting. She opted for nude lipstick while drawing attention to her smoky eye makeup with the addition of icy blue-colored contact lenses.

Kardashian’s Instagram post included a video that zoomed in on her face for a closer look at her dramatic transformation. She was seen posing with one hand in her hair while leaning against a vanity table.
The reality TV star also modeled her floor-length gold gown from different angles in two other clips and shared a second photo with Demna.
“DEMNA 4 EVER @GUCCI,” she captioned the post shared in the early hours of Monday, March 16.
Gucci’s creative director reshared the photos of himself and Kardashian on his own Instagram. He also posted a photo of Kardashian's glittering gown hanging on a clothing rail alongside her huge platform heels from before she put the outfit on.
“DEMNA AND KIM #Oscarsafterparty ✨” Demna captioned the post.

Kardashian’s choice of outfit at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars Party was dramatically different from her look worn to the event in 2025.
Last year, she donned a strapless white Balenciaga ball gown that was likened to the Vera Wang dress she wore when she wed her second ex-husband, Kris Humphries, in 2011.
Kardashian has most recently been romantically linked to British F1 racing star Lewis Hamilton. The rumored couple were photographed at Arizona’s Lake Powell earlier this month. On Oscars Sunday, Hamilton was at the Shanghai International Circuit racing in the Chinese Grand Prix, where he placed third.

Kardashian's edgy look at the Vanity Fair event comes after she expressed a desire to influence other fashionistas in a recent Complex interview.
“Even though I might wear something that might seem inaccessible, I think it can be relatable and obtainable through my choice of simple colors and silhouettes,” Kardashian told the outlet. “I’ve always incorporated simple things that can be easily replicated."
“In those moments when I do wear the more over-the-top red carpet looks I always love to share the secrets I’m learning through that process of getting dressed that might be a helpful trick for the everyday women,” she concluded.
