Kim Kardashian celebrates ‘finally' earning law degree after six years at surprise graduation ceremony
Congratulations are in order for Kim Kardashian.
The Skims founder took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday to celebrate her graduation from law school after six years
'All of you guys have been on this journey with me,' she said in her speech during a private commencement ceremony hosted by family and friends.
Kardashian, 44, explained that her desire to study law began after feeling 'dumbfounded' watching a video on Twitter.
The reality star dolled up in a gray sweater, leather skirt, black stockings and white pumps for the special occasion.
Another video showed her putting on a tan graduation cap.
She beamed as one of her mentors called her law journey 'the most inspiring.'
'Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this program with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice. No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination,' her mentor said.
She went on to say that Kardashian dedicated '18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years.'
'That's a total of 5,184 hours of legal study,' she said.
'That's time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others.'
Another clip showed the 'Kardashians' star hugging her mentors and holding her diploma.
A sneak peek of the celebratory luncheon revealed that Kardashian's study flashcards had been turned into placemats.
The mom of four also shared a photo of her son Psalm West wearing a tan suit and tie inspired by his late grandfather, attorney Robert Kardashian Sr.
Another photo showed the 5-year-old carrying a briefcase, while Kardashian's 7-year-old daughter, Chicago West, wore a black pinstripe suit inspired by her mom's 2023 look at Harvard Business School.
An insider told Us Weekly that Kardashian's graduation ceremony was a surprise.
The businesswoman was reportedly told she would be attending a 'regular family brunch' when her loved ones surprised her.
'They are all excited and proud of her and wanted to surprise her to celebrate this accomplishment,' the insider said.
'Her law mentors are also surprising her, and she has no clue they will be there.'
The outlet reported that Kardashian has passed the multistate professional responsibility exam and can now move on to the bar exam, which will allow her to practice law in California.
Kardashian shared she embarking on her law school journey in 2019.
The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' alum has been candid about her progress, admitting she failed the 'baby bar' exam three times before passing the test in 2021.
During a 2022 interview with Vogue Hong Kong, she revealed she hoped to one day open a 'successful law firm.'

Kim Kardashian's $148 pierced nipple bra is not a stunt – it's empowerment
Kim Kardashian's Skims clothing brand announced a new product last month, and it's pretty wild. The 'pierced nipple bra' has fabric nipples pierced with a barbell so that, under a close-fitting shirt, it appears the wearer has very cold, prominent – and pierced – nipples. Skims' Instagram explained: 'Our sexiest bra gets even hotter with faux nipple piercing design so you can get the 'Ooo' without the ouch!' Following the marketing success of the original 'nipple bra' in 2023, this version has already garnered awe, cringe, and bewilderment. You've got to acknowledge Kardashian's prowess for seeing a gap in the market, filling it, and then piercing it. At $148, this is an investment bra for those likely to show it off on their socials rather than being an everyday basic. Like a Guerlain perfume, or Chanel sunglasses, it makes a statement about your school of style. What kind of statement does it make? While the average reader of this masthead would likely not wear skin-tight crop tops that bare their (seemingly highly aroused) nipples for a casual day out, it's no longer taboo (if a walk through Fitzroy is any indication) to go braless or expose underboob. In urban Australia – as much as Los Angeles, Berlin or London – porn, music videos, fashion advertisements, and reality TV now coexist in an 'anything goes' era. Women should have every right to modify our bodies and dress as we want, but we don't have the luxury of taking our choices for granted when men are still advocating for MAGA-inspired 'tradwives', the US Vice President J.D. Vance says women should stay in violent marriages to keep their families together and, according to a Harvard Institute poll from last year, 46 per cent of young Republicans believe 'women are too promiscuous these days'. You might scoff at the idea that Kardashian, an influencer and billionaire, is waving a feminist flag with a fake pierced nipple bra. But it fits perfectly with her push for women's autonomy and empowerment through products that occasionally provoke but also appeal to women's aesthetic and desire for comfort. Male designers have long commodified women's bodies with ill-fitting tat, so the argument that she's exploiting her name for profit doesn't wash with me. Yes, her advertisements are heavily airbrushed and her clothing is unaffordable for many of her followers, but Kardashian built her wealth through Skims (worth approximately $US4 billion) and other savvy investments, by serving women first. In March, she told Vogue Business that it matters to her to have shapewear and lingerie that cater to a broad range of body shapes, sizes (Skims go up to the equivalent of Australian sizes 20/22), skin shades and styles. These sculpted bras are not a mere novelty – the nipple bra was embraced by women who'd had a mastectomy, too. Kardashian built this empire all while completing six years of legal studies and advocating for criminal justice reform. At 44, Kardashian refuses to follow the safe marketing route in showcasing Skims lingerie only on 20-something, skinny, white girls. Her models are diverse, and her grey, brown and beige designs are not created predominantly for the male gaze, but for women's comfort. That's radical in itself. So, to the pierced nipples. This bra design is close to my heart (boom, tish!) because in my late teens, nipple piercings were a trend among the cool girls in university. I didn't dare. Then, about six years ago, when the cool girls of Hollywood (Kendall, Miley, Bella Hadid, etc) were all baring their pierced nipples in paparazzi photos, I decided to join the crew.

Kylie Jenner just shared her breast implant details – but here's the catch
1/7 Aside from a comical storyline on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, where in an attempt to hush long-standing rumours that her famously large derriere was the result of butt implants Kim Kardashian subjected herself to an x-ray on camera, the Kardashian Jenners rarely open up about what procedures they have – or haven't – undegone. But with 70-year-old matriarch Kris Jenner making headlines in recent weeks for her age-defying facelift, it seems the perfectly-sculpted family has decided to turn over a new leaf of transparency when it comes to talking about nips, tucks and lifts.
