Kim Kardashian Puts Edgy Spin on Minimalism in Low-rise Leather Moto Pants at ChainFest Los Angeles 2024

Kim Kardashian embraced minimalist dressing — with an edge — on Saturday at ChainFest LA. The annual food festival serves exclusive gourmet offerings from various chain restaurants, some of which are prepared by Michelin star chefs.

Kardashian attended the event alongside stars like B.J. Novak and Mindy Kaling of “The Office” and supermodel Chrissy Teigen. The Skims founder selected an all-black outfit consisting of a black cropped t-shirt and low-rise leather moto pants, accessorizing with point-toe heels.

Kardashian wore her dark tresses in a middle part with braids, while her makeup consisted of soft pink blush and a glossy nude lip.

Last month, the reality star served as a co-chair at Kering’s third annual Caring for Women dinner. The company’s eponymous foundation, which is celebrating its 16th anniversary, raised $2 million to end gender-based violence.

Hosted by the organization’s honorary president, Salma Hayek, the event’s other A-list co-chairs included Naomi Watts, Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Kering’s portfolio of luxury brands was well represented among the crowd: Watts, Kardashian and Kerry Washington were clad in custom Balenciaga, while Hayek, Raye and Dakota Johnson sported Gucci gowns. The evening’s master of ceremonies, Gayle King, wore Alexander McQueen.

For the journalist, who typically wakes at 3 a.m. for “CBS Mornings,” staying up “on a school night” was well worth it. “Every now and again,” she said in her opening remarks, “you get to hang out with the cool kids.”

When King introduced keynote speaker Viola Davis, the EGOT winner plugged her ears in humility as her indelible list of accomplishments was rattled off.

Davis recited her speech with the fervor of a monologue, though this was no act. The cause of domestic violence is particularly close to the actress, whose family was afflicted by abuse. In her address, she dared the crowd to imagine a world free from violence against women.

“It would look like women understanding that they’re already born whole, that all of who we are is ours,” Davis proclaimed. “It’s a world where you don’t spend your life protecting the reputation of your abuser while you succumb to depression, suicide, body dysmorphia, anger, grief.”
