The parallels to her 2021 appearance were obvious. That all-black Balenciaga ensemble, complete with pointed shoes and a flowing fork-tailed cape, had drawn comparisons to Kanye West’s current wife, Bianca.

Even the brand’s creative director, Demna Gvasalia, appeared alongside Kardashian that night, fully masked in black. As one fan joked, “It’s like Kanye West is with her even when he’s not with her.”
