SKIMS had its NYC flagship store opening on December 12, 2024, and Kim Kardashian threw a party to celebrate the milestone. The event was graced by musicians, supermodels, socialites, and influencers, and more than a few were dressed in leopard print.
The color theme and pieces were from the brand’s recently launched collaborative capsule with Dolce & Gabbana. Leopard print has been a significant part of fashion history and evolved from being dismissed as gaudy in the 1950s to its status as a symbol of self-expression in recent times.
The fabric print made a comeback in 2024 with the mob-wife trend, which saw TikToksters draping faux fur with leopard prints around themselves, complemented by bold makeup.
At the SKIMS party and private dinner, Cardi B, Ice Spice, and Paris Hilton looked glamorous in leopard prints. This article explores some of these looks.
Cardi B, Ice Spice and others who attended the SKIMS store opening ceremony in stylish leopard print
1) Cardi B
The Money hitmaker has had a storied history with the SKIMS brand. In October 2023, the rapper starred in the brand's Cotton Challenge. For the NYC store launch, Cardi B stunned in a leopard print outfit consisting of a trench coat and rope for a cinched waist effect and a SKIMS bodysuit.
She styled her hair in an old Hollywood updo and wore smoky-eyed makeup. Cardi rounded up the look with leopard print shoes and chunky jewelry.
2) Ice Spice
The Deli rapper made an appearance in a leopard-print bodysuit with a corset bodice from the Dolce & Gabbana collaboration. Ice Spice accented the monochrome look with her signature orange hair, which she styled in a sleek half-up, half-down look.
Her minimalist makeup consisted of nude, glossy lips. Her accessories were in theme—a leopard print bag and black open-toed shoes.
3) Paris Hilton
Reality TV star and socialite Paris Hilton favored the mob wife aesthetic for the event. The businesswoman and model was dressed in a long and silky skirt from the Dolce & Gabbana collaboration. She complemented the skirt with a matching body con top and fur coat.
Her smoky-eyed makeup was done with glossy lips. Hilton wore glossy wine leopard-themed shoes, a black Hobo bag, and a chunky silver necklace for accessories.
4) Remi Bader
Remi Bader put her spin on the classic leopard skin look with a silky number paired with a black fur shawl as a nod to old Hollywood glamour. Bader wore a silky gown with a thigh-high slit and plunging neckline. She paired the look with chocolate brown pointy-toed heels and a black fur shawl.
She opted for bold red lips and smoky-eyed makeup. In true old glamour fashion, her hair was full, curly, and swept over one side of her neck.
