Overview
- Photos posted to Instagram show Kardashian in the ocean at night in Rio de Janeiro during a trip to promote Hulu’s All’s Fair.
- The nude-toned chiffon gown from Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2003 Irere collection features a corseted bodice, braided straps, and a tattered skirt.
- Photographer Tomás Herold shot the images, which reference the collection’s runway film of a model swimming away from a wreck.
- The dress has museum provenance through the Met’s 2011 Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition, and collectors commonly refer to it as the ‘shipwreck’ dress.
- Online reaction mixed admiration with concern, including a cautionary comment from sister Khloé Kardashian, though no damage to the archival piece has been reported.
