Paris Fashion Week always brings a whirlwind of style and creativity, and Gigi Hadid’s latest appearance has certainly captured attention.
GIGI HADID IN PARIS
Hadid strutted down the runway for Vetements’ Spring/Summer 2025 show, wearing a striking yellow mini dress made entirely of DHL packing tape.
This bold look is a nod to Kim Kardashian’s infamous Balenciaga outfit from Autumn/Winter 2022, according to Elle.
Kim’s outfit also featured taped elements and was famously worn by Lizzo on the cover of ELLE UK.
GIGI HADID’S STYLE DETAILS
Hadid’s ensemble included matching DHL tape-styled heels that perfectly complemented her dress.
Her hair, a textured bob, added an edgy vibe to the already eye-catching outfit, according to Vogue.
The model wasn’t just walking; she was making a statement alongside stars like Travis Scott and J Balvin. This created an electrifying atmosphere at the event.
GIGI HADID AND KIM KARDASHIAN
Other notable attendees included Ice Spice, Bella Thorne, Normani, and Tom Daley, all of whom added to the star-studded energy of the night.
Gigi’s look harkens back to Kardashian’s memorable appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
Kim wore a sports top and leggings adorned with Balenciaga-branded tape.
Kardashian accessorised her outfit with the brand’s coveted Hourglass handbag, according to Page Six.
CONTEMPORARY HIGH FASHION
This fashion moment sparked conversations about the playful yet audacious nature of contemporary high fashion.
As one fashion commentator noted, “It’s a brilliant mix of irony and style—making the ordinary look extraordinary.”
Vetements, co-founded by Demna and Guram Gvasalia, has long been known for its tongue-in-cheek designs.
DHL AND FASHION
Their relationship with DHL traces back to their Spring/Summer 2016 show. At the show Gosha Rubchinskiy wore a loose-fitting yellow T-shirt emblazoned with the postal service’s logo.
This iconic partnership has now reached new heights, showcasing the brand’s ability to fuse high fashion with streetwear sensibilities.
Hadid’s runway appearance comes after her stunning turn on the Victoria Beckham catwalk. There she donned a stunning midi dress in ‘Atonement green’.

“I love to explore various styles. Fashion is all about taking risks,” she shared backstage. She truly embodied the spirit of creativity that defines the industry.
As the evening unfolded, the excitement didn’t fade.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE
The Vetements show continued to blur the lines between art and fashion, reflecting the ever-changing landscape of style.
This collection serves as a reminder that fashion should be fun, with a dash of irreverence.
The runway isn’t just a showcase; it’s a platform for commentary on society and culture.
Gigi Hadid’s recreation of Kim Kardashian’s iconic look speaks volumes about how styles evolve and inspire one another.
BEAUTY STANDARDS
Both looks challenge traditional fashion norms while celebrating creativity. “Fashion is about expression,” Hadid remarked. “If you can make a statement, do it!”
In a world where trends come and go, Hadid and Kardashian’s taped looks remind us that boldness can redefine beauty standards.
