Kim Kardashian brushed off rumours about her love life to accept an honour for her company SKIMS – and obviously, wore a look from the brand for the occasion.
Every outing is a branding opportunity, don’t you know.
The 41-year-old wore a figure-hugging brown leather dress from the Fendi x SKIMS collaboration to the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, held in New York City’s Musuem of Modern Art.
Kim accessorised with a pair of beyond elbow-length brown leather gloves and a pair of tan snakeskin boots, while she wore her hair slicked back and rocked a smokey eye and a nude lip.
On the night, the star – who has become a billionaire thanks to the success of shapewear brand SKIMS and cosmetics line KKW Beauty – accepted the 2021 award for brand innovator, credited to her work with SKIMS.
The company initially sold shapewear solutions and underwear, but has since expanded to include clothing and loungewear, and has become a global success story.

Throw in Kim’s ambitions to become a lawyer and help establish prison reform in the States, and you’ve got one busy bee.
But that doesn’t mean she can’t still inspire a good old bit of gossip, after she was pictured holding hands on a rollercoaster with SNL comedian Pete Davidson.
While sources said the pair are just good friends, a body language expert suggested that friends would act differently, and what they weren’t doing told more than what they were.

Still, New York native Pete, 27, wasn’t in attendance at the MOMA event – that may have broken the internet – but Kim had plenty of celebs to rub shoulders with.
Lil Nas X, Emily Ratajkowksi, Ryan Reynolds, Demi Moore, Lewis Hamilton, Karlie Kloss, Kim Jones, Tommy Dorfman, Martha Stewart, Jonathan Cheban, Meadow Walker and Colson Whitehead were among those at the Innovator Awards, who were treated to a dinner and cognac from sponsors Remy Martin.
Ryan Reynolds accepted the award for entertainment and entrepreneurship innovator, while Lewis Hamilton was named sports innovator.

After a huge year, Lil Nas X was given the music innovator award, and looked stylish in a long black pleated skirt, a cropped white shirt and a duster jacket.
However, it was his dog-shaped handbag that we really coveted.
The 22-year-old posed with Kim at the bash, and we reckon if they combined their forces, they could probably take over the world – or at least social media.
