Kim Kardashian is known for carefully curating every outfit she wears, but her latest look has left fans scratching their heads.
The reality TV star was spotted arriving back in Los Angeles after traveling to Monaco earlier this month, where she supported boyfriend Lewis Hamilton during the Formula 1 weekend. While Kim made her F1 WAG debut in glamorous fashion overseas, her airport-style ensemble back home sparked a wave of criticism online.
For the outing, the mom of four wore an oversized blue-and-white striped Gucci button-down, leaving only the top buttons fastened to create a relaxed, baggy silhouette. She paired the shirt with an unexpected choice of bottoms: sheer black capri-length tights. The look was completed with pointed-toe pumps, a beige Gucci handbag, oversized sunglasses, and her signature loose waves with minimal makeup.

Kim Kardashian Mocked For Button-Down-Tights Combo Outfit
The unconventional pairing quickly became a hot topic on social media, with many fans questioning the styling.
“Who is styling her at the moment? It’s so bad,” one person commented on Instagram.
Another wrote, “The definition of money can't buy you taste.”
“There’s no reason for her style to be this bad,” another fan added.
Others compared the look to members of her famous circle, with one writing, “What in the Kourtney is this?!” while another commented, “Her bottom half is giving Bianca Censori.”
“She just never gets it right,” one user wrote, while another called the outfit “tragic.”
Several fans even brought up Kim's ex-husband, Kanye West, who famously helped shape much of her fashion evolution during their marriage.
“Kanye would never let her dress like this!” one commenter claimed. “I miss when Kanye used to dress her,” another added.
Others criticized the sheer leggings specifically, writing, “The sheer cropped leggings and heels... no.”
“They have no taste and no style. Millions of dollars, but you cannot buy taste and elegance,” another commenter wrote.
“Atrocious,” one person simply declared. Another argued, “She has no personal style. She copies other icons and calls it ‘inspiration.’”
Perhaps the harshest critique came from a fan who joked, “Looking like she woke up at a frat house after formal in 2007.”

The Monaco Grand Prix marked a major moment for the Skims mogul, who made a surprise appearance at the 2026 race weekend to support Lewis Hamilton, fueling speculation that the pair had officially confirmed their relationship.
As expected, Kim treated the event like her own fashion runway, stepping out in four head-to-toe Gucci looks throughout the weekend. Her wardrobe ranged from motorsport-inspired leather ensembles to glamorous eveningwear, each designed to match the luxury atmosphere of Monaco.
For her arrival, the actress embraced the racing theme in a black leather Gucci jacket paired with coordinating leather pants and pointed-toe pumps.
On race day, she opted for a custom off-white Gucci dress featuring a one-shoulder sleeve, an open-back silhouette, black pumps, and oversized purple sunglasses, giving the look a futuristic edge.
Later in the weekend, the 45-year-old continued to showcase the Italian fashion house's designs with additional Gucci ensembles before closing out the festivities in a shimmering backless black gown worn aboard a yacht to celebrate Hamilton's podium finish at the after-party.
Her fashion choices throughout the weekend quickly became a talking point online, with many fans dubbing the Monaco trip her unofficial "F1 WAG debut."
