Saturday evening saw Kim Kardashian grace the red carpet at the 21st Rome Film Festival, which celebrated season two of All's Fair, in which the reality mogul stars.

The stunning mother of four opted for a plunging leopard-print gown by Saint Laurent. This vintage getup boasted a daring, strapless corset bodice with lace-up detailing. The risqué design also featured a sheer animal-print wrap which she alternated between delicately framing her face and draping over her shoulders during the evening.

Kim was accompanied by her momager, Kris Jenner. The 70-year-old decided to opt for a famed archival ensemble for the occasion, which also nodded to her star sign. The mother of six donned a sumptuous velvet hooded cape, which featured two scorpions emblazoned across the chest.

Kris turns 71 on 5 November, making her star sign Scorpio. The businesswoman made the look enchanting and exciting by adding long white gloves. The cloak covered a resplendent white gown underneath.

If you recognise this cloak, that's because the late Elizabeth Taylor wore the same style back in 1969. Designed by Tiziani Roma, the then-wife of Richard Burton wore the statement piece when she attended Princess Grace of Monaco's 40th birthday party, the Scorpio Ball. Elizabeth paid the ultimate homage to the royal's day of birth, despite being a Pisces herself.

Kim confirmed that her mother donned the dazzling piece, penning on Instagram: "Fun fact about the cape my mom is wearing. It belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, and my mom now owns it and graciously let me wear it in All's Fair.

"After Ryan heard the story of Elizabeth Taylor wearing it to Grace Kelly's Scorpion Ball, naturally, he made sure to write an episode about Allura Grant throwing her own Scorpion Ball, and I'm the luckiest girl to have borrowed it from my mom. Tune in to see it debut in All's Fair," she revealed.

In 2025, fashion fans were surprised to see the Skims founder grace the runway for Balenciaga's AW25 show. Causing a stir in an ivory satin midi dress featuring a fitted silhouette and lace trim around the padded bust, Kanye West's former wife added a floor-length, fluffy coat and a pair of satin court heels.

Alongside a dazzling diamond choker and necklace pairing, she wore showstopping statement earrings that came from Elizabeth's very own private collection.
