Kim Kardashian mocked for crotchless Skims catsuit
Kim Kardashian took a page from Rihanna's playbook for her latest Skims launch — a crotchless cutaway catsuit ($108) made of see-through black mesh that the firm describes as "the ultimate after-dark staple." The 41-year-old shapewear mogul displayed the bold design on the Skims Instagram account on Wednesday, February 9, prompting a flurry of remarks and jokes.
The product description reads, "Make a statement in an ultra-sexy full body catsuit made of sheer stretchy mesh that hugs your curves. This mock neck pullover style features long sleeves with gloves, a cut-out back detail, and an opening at gusset that extends to lower butt for maximum impact."

Although this is Skims' first open-crotch offering, such sultry styles are a mainstay of Rihanna's billion-dollar Savage X Fenty label. In addition to selling breezy-bottomed bodysuits in a variety of fabrics and colors, the Barbados babe recently added pajama pants with butt cutouts to her lineup, much to the delight of her fans.
Skims was founded in 2019 (one year after Savage X Fenty) and is now worth several billion dollars. The brand expanded to include bras and underwear, sleepwear, loungewear, and more after starting with shapewear or, to use Kardashian's preferred word, "solution wear" in a range of inclusive sizes and colors. Skims teamed up with Fendi for its first high-fashion partnership in November, which raked in $1 million in its first minute on the internet.
Many fans criticized the design of this catsuit in comments on the Instagram post, expressing their displeasure. One fan noted, "It's giving quickie," while others questioned the garment's utility outside the bedroom. "Can someone tell me the point of this thing?" one wondered, while another asked, "Where do you even wear this?" and another fan wrote, "It looks super uncomfortable."
None of Skims make sense aside from bra/panty/shapewear. Dress and shirt/bodysuit material so thin you can see the outline of everything… and this cat suit w gloves??? is for being worn under other clothing? I’m-??

Kimberly, please:(
In terms of Kim's personal life, the reality star addressed her connection with Pete Davidson for the first time in an interview with Variety while promoting her upcoming programme The Kardashians with her family. Kim explained that their upcoming reality show will chronicle the beginning of their relationship.
Kim revealed in the feature that her romance with Pete was not taped for the upcoming show, saying, "I have not filmed with him. But if there was an event happening and he was there, he wouldn’t tell the cameras to get away. I think I might film something really exciting coming, but it wouldn’t be for this season." Despite the fact that their relationship was not taped for the show, it will be shown on The Kardashians.
"In true Kardashian fashion, the series doesn’t hold back on delving into the real-life tabloid sagas, including Kim's public divorce with Kanye West and her new relationship with SNL regular Pete Davidson," according to Variety.
When the new series premieres, all of the specifics surrounding their passionate new romance will be exposed, according to Kim. "How we met and who reached out to who and how it happened and all the details that everyone wants to know. I'm definitely open to talking, and I definitely explain it," she said.
