Kim Kardashian embraced full vintage glamour on Christmas Eve. She stepped out in a striking strapless gown from Mugler’s iconic 1986 Hiver Russe collection. The vintage fashion moment was first spotlighted by Fashion Bomb Daily, with Kardashian later sharing her own images and videos of the look on Instagram, instantly turning her holiday celebration into a moment of high fashion nostalgia.
Kim Kardashian goes vintage in strapless Mugler gown for Christmas Eve
The metallic silver gown came from Mugler’s 1986 Hiver Russe collection, which translates to Russian Winter. The collection was inspired by lavish cold-weather dressing. Kardashian’s strapless sculptural gown featured a metallic silver finish that hugged her silhouette from bodice to hem.
Designed with a structured corset-like top, the strapless neckline highlighted her shoulders. The fitted skirt flared subtly at the bottom, creating an elegant mermaid effect. Dark, textured embellishments trimmed the bust and wrapped around the hips and hem, adding contrast and dimension to the otherwise luminous fabric.
Set against a backdrop of snow-dusted Christmas trees, the Mugler gown felt perfectly aligned with the festive atmosphere. The vintage piece channeled Mugler’s signature power dressing, blending sharp structure with sensual detailing. By choosing an archival design, Kardashian leaned into fashion history rather than a modern remake, letting the original craftsmanship stand out.
Her overall look complemented the drama of the gown without overpowering it. Kardashian wore her long, dark hair sleek and straight, pulled back with a subtle braided detail along the crown. Her choice of diamond drop earrings and matching statement bracelets added sparkle.
Kim Kardashian revealed the look through a series of Instagram posts, sharing close-up shots that highlighted the gown’s intricate textures and impeccable tailoring. With this Mugler moment, she proved once again that Christmas Eve style can feel both festive and fashion forward, especially when vintage couture takes centre stage.
