In celebration of John Galliano’s 65th birthday, Kim Kardashian took to Instagram to honor the legendary designer—and in doing so, reminded the world of just how powerful their creative partnership has been over the years.
Among the photos she shared was a striking throwback of the two stepping out of photographer Mert Alas’s London home, captured on Kardashian’s own birthday. She wore a daring braided bra ensemble that nodded to the now-viral Skims “bush thong,” while Galliano stood beside her in a dramatic top hat. Another standout moment came from that same weekend: her icy blue Dior Spring/Summer 2000 gown, worn to the Paris premiere of All’s Fair. With its ethereal silhouette and Y2K charm, it was the perfect blend of birthday glamour and red-carpet elegance.
Kardashian also revisited her 2024 Met Gala fitting with Galliano, where she dazzled in a custom Maison Margiela gown crafted from shimmering silver cutouts, sculptural corsetry, and Galliano’s signature romanticism. “Happy Birthday to the most brilliant human being,” she wrote. “Celebrating you always.”
Over the years, Kardashian and Galliano have built a rare fashion synergy—effortless yet legendary—spanning archival gems, custom couture, and unforgettable red-carpet statements. Below, we revisit their 10 best collaborations.
