The star of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"sent pulses racing as she stepped out wearing a red vintage Christian Dior dress. The piece is inspired by the Chinese dress, cheongsam.

"Tailored to tightly hug a woman's figure, the cheongsam is often characterized by a high, starched mandarin collar and asymmetrically fastened at the chest by a series of pankou (knotted buttons)."

Taking notice the dress' historical significance, a fan account shares a side by side photo of the original runway look, saying:
"Kim Kardashian's love affair with vintage clothes continues in John Galliano for Christian Dior Fall 1997."
Since launching SKIMS, it is safe to say that Kim probably pulled off her look with the help her shapewear range.
The products have been in such high demand that she recently apologised for taking too long to restock some of their original items.
The original concept she came with would have named the shapewear KIMONO, but after a lot of public backlash she was forced to change the name to SKIMS.
With many people criticizing her for cultural appropriation let's hope the Asian inspired Christian Dior gown doesn't incite the same reception on social media.
