The reality star’s normcore wardrobe is getting out of hand.
Flip-flops are definitely making a comeback among celebrities—and Kim Kardashian’s thong sandals are probably the easiest to copy.
On December 8, the 43-year-old reality star stepped out in the exact uniform every celebrity wears when they don’t wish to be perceived: sweats, baseball cap, sunglasses, and a comfortable pair of shoes. Kardashian went with an all-black version of the incognito look, save a pair of camouflage patterned sunnies. Of course, she managed to stand out anyway.
Perhaps it was the fact that she was carrying two iPhones and an obviously empty coffee cup? Or maybe it was the $450 split-toed Balenciaga flip-flops.

If these slabs of rubber speak to you, I have good and bad news. While they are not available on the Balenciaga website, you can snag this used pair on Poshmark for $250 (though Glamour cannot confirm their authenticity), or you could just…go to your local nail salon and ask for a pair of their disposable pedicure sandals. You cannot tell me these do not look exactly like the $13 plastic pair I just found online.

This is just Kim Kardashian’s latest venture into normcore dressing with a lavish price tag. Earlier this month, Kardashian wore a literal grocery bag from the Erewhon x Balenciaga collaboration as a purse to the luxury brand’s fall 2024 fashion show in Los Angeles. You can’t purchase the same for yourself, but you can buy a reusable grocery tote from the collection for $425. Or you could, I don’t know, go to a grocery store and ask for a paper bag…I currently have a bunch of them folded under my sink.
Oh, and that white porcelain coffee cup Kardashian carried on December 8? It’s $125. You’re welcome.
