Kim Kardashian Dives Into the Ocean Wearing a Rare McQueen Gown as Khloe Calls the Night Shoot “Weird”
Kim Kardashian has sparked a new wave of attention after sharing a dramatic nighttime photoshoot in which she waded into the ocean wearing a historic Alexander McQueen gown.
The 45-year-old reality star posted several striking images of herself standing in the water at night, dressed in a rare vintage piece from McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2003 “Irere” collection.
While fans flooded the comments with admiration for the haunting visuals, one reaction stood out. Her sister, Khloe Kardashian, playfully called Kim “weird” for going into the sea in complete darkness, even asking whether she was feeling okay, according to DailyMail.
The gown itself is a fashion treasure. Only two were ever produced, making it one of the rarest McQueen pieces in existence. Kim previously wore it to the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party after it was purchased for her by Kanye West.
The photos arrive amid ongoing conversations about Kim’s use of historic garments. In 2022, she faced criticism for wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress to the Met Gala, where critics accused her of damaging the fragile piece. Kim later revealed she lost seven kilograms in three weeks just to fit into the dress.
Kim’s latest ocean shoot, however, shows she continues to blend high fashion with bold visual storytelling — even if it means stepping into the waves at night.
