Alabama Barker just added four extra inches to her 5'5" stature – and we're obsessed with her daring ensemble.
The 20-year-old took to her Instagram Stories on October 21 to show off her latest outfit that blends splashes of red with sultry leather. Alabama attended a basketball match dressed in black, skin-tight leggings with a boxy black leather jacket. For a touch of color to the otherwise monochromatic ensemble, Alabama accessorized with a red Hermès Birkin handbag and a pair of the So Kate Booty from Christian Louboutin. The black leather boots feature a four inch heel with a zip-up design and a signature patent red base. Alabama's outfit proves how tinges of bold color can enhance even the simplest of outfit to elevate them with a daring twist.
Alabama's luscious blonde locks were styled into soft waves with a side parting while her makeup oozed glam, courtesy of a smoky eye, a baby-pink cheek, and a glossy nude lip.

The rising star's attendance at the game comes after she shared the secret behind her glowing skin. "Everybody keeps asking why my skin is so glowy!! It's because I've been taking the @hello.foxi peptides!! Go dm them for more info or visit their website!" she wrote alongside a bikini photo on Instagram.

The consultant at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust described them as "small chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. In the body, they act as signalling molecules, helping cells communicate and regulating processes such as inflammation, tissue repair and collagen production."
"That’s how the marketing of peptide plumping came about," she added.

"One of the things that can make peptide injections confusing is that they are not a single treatment. The term actually covers a broad category of different compounds, and many peptide therapies are prepared by specialist pharmacies rather than large pharmaceutical companies," explained Dr Ellie.
"From a dermatology perspective, the science behind peptides is interesting and it is an area of research that is evolving quickly."
The treatment is typically recommended for those in their thirties onwards. Therefore, it seems Alabama is big in preventative aging to ensure her skin remains glowing and plump.
