Kim Kardashian made it to the front rows of Balenciaga's Fall Winter 2022-23 "360° show" held at Paris Fashion Week on Sunday, March 6. The show by Balenciaga also served as a tribute to Ukraine's war with Russia.

The 41-year-old was wrapped in yellow caution tape with "Balenciaga" spelled out on it. The brand's logo covered the entire tape, which shielded Kim's leggings and top, turning it into a body-hugging catsuit.

This look by the businesswoman was unconventional, and since the catsuit was covered in tape, it made a squeaky sound as she walked across the room.

One fan took notice of the sound and trolled the outfit, saying:

Thus, when Kim K stepped out wearing a "cautionary" catsuit as the "face of the brand aka brand ambassador," she raised many eyebrows. The public took notice of the outfit and called it out as "discomforting."

Trolls also questioned how the Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum will get out of the outfit when nature calls. They also trolled the outfit for making a squeaking sound as she strolled across the room.

The concept of yellow tape as an outfit was also associated with crime scenes and the official yellow tape used by police departments in general. However, trolls weren't the only ones taking notice of the outfit, with many fans also impressed by the bold look.
