Long before leopard print’s revival on runways and red carpets, Khloé Kardashian was already championing the wild and fearless trend. Back in May 2013, the then 28-year-old reality star joined her sisters at a Sears in Houston, Texas, to launch their Kardashian Kollection fashion brand—and her bold animal-print look stole the spotlight.
While fashion trends may shift over time, Khloé Kardashian’s styling choices from this era—anchored by her sky-high Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps—remain undeniably iconic. The Pigalle, one of the most timeless and coveted silhouettes from the French luxury house, is named after the vibrant Pigalle quarter in Paris, home to the Moulin Rouge.
The Kardashian sisters showcased their distinct styles, from Kourtney’s two-tone top and sleek black pants to Kim’s fitted black dress and unique heels, and Khloé’s striking leopard-print skirt paired with classic black pumps, at their Sears ‘Kardashian Kollection Spring 2013’ launch
With its sleek lines, pointed toe, and signature red sole, the Pigalle perfectly captures Parisian elegance with a hint of showgirl glamour. In pairing the pump with her bold leopard-print look, Khloé not only channeled confidence and sophistication but also helped cement the print as a Kardashian fashion signature.
Khloé Kardashian Stands Tall—Literally and Stylistically
At an impressive 5 feet 8 ½ inches (174 cm), Khloé Kardashian towered over her sisters during the event, and her choice of black Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps only accentuated her height advantage. Kim Kardashian stands at 5 feet 2 inches (157.5 cm), and Kourtney Kardashian is even shorter, at 5 feet 0 inches (152.4 cm).
This height difference was especially apparent as they lined up for photos during the launch. Khloe’s tall stature and commanding presence drew additional attention to her striking leopard print ensemble.
