The 43-year-old reality TV trailblazer wore her hair short and white blonde making her resemble iconic Hollywood Golden Age siren Marilyn Monroe.
The beauty was sitting in a chair as she looked made up for a power party. She wore a ruby red dress with a black coat over her shoulders and black socks with leopard print high heels.

Each star presents a ‘unique character’ while showcasing the iconic Rodeo Bag, according to a press release.
In addition to Kim, French actress Huppert and Oscar winner Watts were also seen sitting in chairs.
Kardashian has had a long history with the French fashion house founded by a Spanish designer.
She was in the fashion house’s fall 2022 campaign.
She was famously introduced to Balenciaga Creative Director Demna Gvasalia by her ex, West with the couple’s daughters also sporting the brand, too, having recently been spotted carrying four-figure bags from the brand.
She acknowledged the role her ex-husband had played in the relationship in December 2021 as she spoke at the People’s Choice Awards where she accepted an award for fashion.
‘To Kanye, for really introducing me to the fashion world,’ she said. ‘I fell in love with fashion and I’m so inspired by so many people. But again, this is like a dream that I get to wake up and wear these amazing clothes and try new things and take a risk. I’m so humbled.’
At the time, Vogue described it as ‘the peak of Kardashian’s Balenciaga moment.’
In July 2022, Kardashian walked the catwalk and modeled for the brand at Paris Fashion Week.
She was seen wearing the brand as recently as last week as she sported a wearing Adidas x Balenciaga collaboration top, two of the designers who dropped her ex West, 45, after his recent anti-Semitic rants.
She wore a top from the two designer’s collaboration, a long-sleeve black shirt with white stripes on the sleeve and the names of the brands placed in the center of the chest.
