Kim Kardashian has only been in London for a couple of days now, but she’s already made a sartorial splash. The Skims founder, who flew across the pond for the opening of her shape-wear label’s first international flagship, has been celebrating the accomplishment with leather, lace, and sparkles galore—stepping out in nude skintight dress after nude skintight dress.

The highlight of the streak had to be her custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin gown, inspired by the house’s forthcoming collaboration with Skims (out on October 1). Crafted from nude leather, it featured a plunging neckline and a second-skin bodice that relaxed softly at the hips, flowing into a full maxi skirt. Along the leg, corset-style lacing was left undone, revealing a soft chiffon panel underneath.

The number then floated into a sweeping train, adding an extra oomph of drama for the special occasion. Kardashian wore it with open-toe heels and lavender-tinted blush, and kept her long dark hair down for the opening event, which took place on Friday night during London Fashion Week.

Elsewhere, the guest of honor changed into another Ludovic de Saint Sernin piece: a black leather bondage-inspired top with hundreds of eyelets (see here).

That same night, the reality star was photographed outside of members’ club Maison Estelle in a sparkling oyster two-piece, composed of a halter-neck crop top and a floor-length skirt—each trimmed with silver detailing.

And for her final look (for now, at least), she headed to dinner at Milos Restaurant with Lewis Hamilton, wearing a slightly more casual take on the nude dress. Here, she went with a stretchy jersey maxi dress with long sleeves and a black bandage overlay (see photos).
