In May 2015, Kylie Jenner did her best to look like Kim Kardashian on the red carpet at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. She was joined at the show by her older sister Kendall, Jennifer Lopez, Taraji P. Henson, and Mariah Carey.

Kylie Jenner’s affinity for Balmain is well-documented, as seen in her stunning appearance at the 2016 Met Gala, where she donned a dazzling, crystal-embellished Balmain gown. This choice underscores her consistent preference for the French fashion house’s designs.
Similarly, Mariah Carey embraced Balmain’s signature style during a holiday performance, opting for a sequined mini dress that exuded festive glamour.
These instances highlight Balmain’s widespread appeal among celebrities, solidifying its status as a go-to brand for high-profile events.
