Kim Kardashian finally accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in the second part of the season premiere of The Ellen DeGeneres Show that aired on September 9, 2014.
The then-33-year-old reality star was busy recording a video on her phone while getting ice poured on her by host Ellen DeGeneres.
Not only was Kim nominated by Ellen, but she was also challenged by Sarah Jessica Parker, Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing, and shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti.

Kim told Ellen her desire to have more children with Kanye: “Well, I just went to San Diego to give my pregnant sister a break. I took care of my niece, nephew, and my daughter. To bathe them all three, feed them, get them in their pajamas, and down for bed, I was literally crying. It was so hard.”
“Three kids. I don’t know how my mom did it with six. So it was really, really hard, so I’ll go for two, but then again, I have so many siblings, and I love it. They’re my best friends. I would want that for my kids. So I’m going to do two and see how it is.”

Kim, who often opts for high heels to elongate her petite 5ft 2 (157.5 cm) frame, wore a double-breasted blazer by Balmain, a blush skirt by Toni Maticevski, a form-fitting bodysuit by Alaïa, and black strappy Hermès heels.
Kim Kardashian, known for her high-fashion wardrobe and love of luxury goods—particularly Hermès’ iconic handbags like the Birkin and Kelly—has often stepped out in the brand’s footwear. Some standout moments include her white dress and Hermès suede cage heels, her Juan Carlos Obando outfit with Hermès lace-up sandals, and her Paris street style look featuring Hermès Impulsion heels.
