She was seen on video reclining on a deep orange sofa, her hair styled in a sleek, straight look with blunt bangs.
She wore a two-piece ensemble combining various textures and patterns. A lilac-toned sequined crop-top featured delicate yellow floral embroidery, thin straps and a plunging neckline. The skirt, in rich brown satin, had an intricate overlay of cream floral lace.
During New York Fashion Week, also in February, she graced the runway for Tory Burch Fall/Winter 2025 show.
She sported a look in rich navy, including a shaggy-textured coat draped over matching velvet pants. A structured scarf was wrapped around her shoulders, secured with a gold pin. The look was completed with glossy pointed-toe shoes and she carried a slouchy black leather handbag with soft folds and a long strap.
In January, she was part of the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week, when she wore a halter-neck dress with a sheer, form-fitting bodice that transitioned into a voluminous skirt with meticulously folded fabric.

Kim Kardashian's Skims to launch first store in the UAE
DUBAI: Reality star-turned-entrepreneur Kim Kardashian's shapewear and loungewear brand Skims is set to make its brick-and-mortar debut in the UAE, with its first physical store opening at Mall of the Emirates in Dubai. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ The launch date has not yet been announced. A post shared by SKIMS (@skims) Founded in 2019, Skims quickly rose to prominence for its inclusive approach to shapewear, offering a wide range of skin tones and sizes. The brand has since expanded into loungewear, activewear and swimwear. A post shared by SKIMS (@skims) The brand's success has been bolstered by a roster of celebrity supporters, including Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, SZA, Sabrina Carpenter and even the brand's co-founder Kardashian herself, who regularly appears in the campaigns. Skims has also released high-profile collaborations, including a Barbie-themed collection and limited-edition capsule lines with fashion houses Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana. A post shared by SKIMS (@skims) The brand was available in the region exclusively through Ounass, the UAE-based luxury e-commerce platform operated by the Al Tayer Group. Known for bringing high-end international labels like Harvey Nichols, Bloomingdale's, Prada, and more to the Gulf, Al Tayer was also responsible for introducing Skims to the Middle East in December 2020. Kardashian recently unveiled a new product under Skims — the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap — a shapewear-style mask for the face that has stirred debate online. A post shared by SKIMS (@skims) Retailing for $48 and 'infused with collagen yarns,' the product sold out within 24 hours, driven by customers hoping to achieve a more sculpted jawline, as advertised. While some have praised the product as a non-invasive and innovative approach to contouring, others have criticized Skims for promoting unrealistic beauty standards and contributing to body image insecurities. One user on X wrote: 'Can't believe people are actually buying this Skims face snatching wrap,' while another commented: 'Not sure how this would change your jaw or face shape at all … Recessive chin or jaw is real and can be fixed, but not with a wrap.' Still, some users expressed enthusiasm about the release. 'I don't particularly like Kim K and I've never bought anything from Skims but low-key kind of want the face looks like it would cure my tmj (Temporomandibular disorder),' one comment read.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs is denied release on bond to await sentencing
NEW YORK: Sean 'Diddy' Combs can't go home from jail to await sentencing on his prostitution-related conviction, a judge said Monday, denying the rap and style mogul's latest bid for bail. Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges — racketeering and sex trafficking — while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offense. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. In any event, the guidelines aren't mandatory, and Judge Arun Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a protean figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights.' His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalize consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defense acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend.' The defense's most recent proposal included a $50 million bond and travel restrictions and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimize his recent violent conduct — demonstrates his dangerousness and that he is not amendable to supervision.'
