Kim Kardashian Turns a Yeezy Arrival Into a Burgundy Street-Style Statement

On February 15, 2017, in New York City, Kim Kardashian stepped out en route to Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 5 Fashion Show at Pier 59 Studios—delivering a head-to-toe burgundy look that captured the era’s fixation on monochrome dressing and unapologetic body confidence.

Seen now, the moment reads as more than a show-day outfit. It reflects a period when Kim’s off-runway appearances were as influential as the collections themselves, using sheer layers, sculpted silhouettes, and statement boots to turn a simple arrival into a defining street-style moment.

The American media personality ditched the bra and showed off her nipples in a sheer high-neck sleeveless top. Kim brought a puffer jacket, but it offered little warmth, so she draped it off her shoulders.

A year earlier, Your Next Shoes featured her in burgundy over-the-knee boots with a lacy black slip dress while in London with her husband.

The reality TV star completed her look with high-waist sweatpants and her favorite lace-up boot style. As Mrs. West, Kim was undoubtedly dressed in all Yeezy merch to show her full support for her husband at his show.

At first, the head-to-toe burgundy might seem unusual, but it’s actually a Kardashian family inside joke.

Kim’s Burgundy Redemption: A Fashion Inside Joke

One time, Kim’s sisters Khloé, Kourtney, and Kylie all showed up to a family meeting wearing dark purple-red hues. Kim was the only one not wearing the color, which prompted her to proclaim, “I feel so left out!”

In a Snapchat vid from backstage at the Yeezy Season 5 Fashion Show, Kylie called out Kim’s monochromatic outfit and said to her older sister, “Oh, look who decided to wear all burgundy. Hmm…”

Kim replied, “I decided to wear all burgundy because I felt really left out that one time.”
