PUGLIA, ITALY: Kim Kardashian risked her sister Kourtney Kardashian's anger by playing up "wedding vibes" at the Dolce & Gabbana event on July 9. The 42-year-old reality TV star wore a dramatic ensemble to a party after visiting the luxury brand's Alta Moda Show in Puglia, Italy. The defiant move has led admirers to say that Kim Kardashian has entered her 'Speak Now' era, in reference to the unapologetic Taylor Swift album with scathing lyrics.
On the July 6 episode of 'The Kardashians,' Kim confronts Kourtney about their feud over her partnership with Dolce & Gabbana. While intense, the back-and-forth argument does not get violent or unduly hot. Both sisters manage to convey their perspectives on the problem without yelling at one another, and one of the Hulu producers even informs them that she's glad of how they handled it in the end. Kourtney expresses her displeasure with the SKIMS founder's cooperation with designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, which took place during Milan Fashion Week and four months after Kourtney's wedding to Travis Barker in May 2022.
'DOLCE & GABBANA ALTA MODA in Puglia'
Kim wore a dramatic ensemble reminiscent of her elder sister, Kourtney, who wore a black veil to a pre-wedding event in Portofino last year. Recently, the two sisters have been embroiled in a heated conflict that played out on season three of their family's blockbuster Hulu series, 'The Kardashians'.
In later episodes, Kourtney voiced her displeasure with her sister's position as creative director of Dolce & Gabbana, claiming that she was 'copying' the designs from her Italian wedding. In the most recent episode, the SKIMS founder reacted angrily to her sister's charges, accusing her of being a clone who stole "my f*cking wedding country and my wedding performer!" Among the tumult, the businesswoman made her grand entrance in an all-black gown that resembled the Poosh founder's wedding to Travis Barker in May 2022.
Kim looked stunning in a low-cut corset with translucent panels between the ribbing to highlight her hourglass form on Sunday. The mother-of-four accessorized with a figure-hugging satin skirt and see-through pointed-toe heels. She wore a translucent, black veil with lace trim over the entire outfit. Kim also wore a ruby necklace accented by a large gold, star-shaped pendant. She wore her raven black locks in a half-up, half-down hairdo that was exquisite and appropriate for a wedding.
Domenico Dolce, one-half of the Dolce & Gabbana luxury business, was seen accompanying the socialite to the celebration. Kris Jenner, who has also been promoting the Italian high-end fashion firm, was also there. The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch wore an all-black ensemble that included a plunging bodysuit underneath a transparent, lace dress.
On July 9, Kim further took to Instagram to share snaps from the evening, where she later changed into a purple floor-length gown. In the caption, she wrote, "DOLCE & GABBANA ALTA MODA in Puglia 🇮🇹."
'Kourts shaking in her boots 🔥'
As soon as the pictures hit Instagram, fans were quick to comment. One follower wrote, "She in her Speak Now era 😂." Another user chimed in, "Kourtney is seething!!" One comment quipped, "But you didn’t ask Kourtney’s permission 😂." A fourth user noted, "I was concerned that someone photoshopped someone else’s arms until I scrolled thru.
