Kim Kardashian looks tense after Kanye West divorce victory as Balenciaga crisis looms large

Kim Kardashian looked tense on Monday afternoon as she arrived at what looked like a family conference following the conclusion of her divorce from Kanye West, even as she battled widespread backlash to her refusal to cut ties with Balenciaga.

The 42-year-old reality star–turned–fashion icon appeared to cast aside her usual haute couture looks in favor of casual gray sweats while meeting up with momager Kris Jenner and her sisters Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian at Kourtney’s husband Travis Barker’s DTA Records Studio in Calabasas, California.

Rather than celebrating Kim’s divorce finalization, which sees her getting $200,000 per month from the disgraced rapper, the Kardashian–Jenner clan has been engulfed in scandal due to their close relations to the fashion house after Balenciaga released a disturbing holiday ad campaign featuring child models posing with its Plush Toy Bag, which resembled teddy bears dressed in BDSM gear.

In the photo shoot, the children also appeared to be surrounded by empty wine and champagne glasses, further contributing to the disturbing setting.

She stuck to a low-key theme with a pair of plain white sneakers, and she continued to show off her long platinum blond–dyed hair, which she wore tied back in a low-slung bun.

The Kardashians star had a prominent middle part that revealed her raven roots peaking through.

Kim brought along a small brown paper shopping bag in one hand while she sipped from a hot pink smoothie in her other hand.

She didn’t seem to take a pause and could be seen chatting on the phone as she stepped out of the car and made her way into the studio. 

Joining the meeting was the family matriarch Kris Jenner, who wore a chic yet business-ready suit.

The 67-year-old businesswoman and manager’s outfit was a cross between a military uniform and a Mandarin suit with its single-breast design and a row of large buttons running up the front and cuffs with red patches and stripes.

She paired it with matching black slacks and chunky black shoes, and her jet black pixie cut was swept up messily in the breeze.

Kris included her taste for luxury by carrying along a plain black Hermès Birkin bag.
