Kim Kardashian’s unexpected appearance at a Glam event during Paris Fashion Week has stirred up quite a buzz among fans and fashion enthusiasts alike. While many were drawn to her striking attire and gothic makeup, others couldn’t help but notice a significant change in her facial features.

In recent images from the Balenciaga Women’s Wear Fall/Winter 2024-2025 fashion show, Kim Kardashian, 43, was seen sporting a tight ponytail and a skintight black Balenciaga dress that accentuated her contours. However, social media users, particularly on Reddit, expressed concerns about Kim’s facial alterations, particularly her jawline.

Some speculated that Kim may have undergone jaw surgery or implants, pointing out the tightness and stiffness in her facial muscles. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Barrett even weighed in, suggesting that Kim may have spent up to $170,000 on various cosmetic procedures, including liposuction, nose surgery, breast augmentation, and a Brazilian butt lift.

Kim has previously admitted to using Botox but has denied undergoing any other plastic surgeries. However, her recent appearance has fueled further speculation, especially considering her association with Balenciaga, a brand that faced controversy over its advertisements featuring children.

In late 2022, Balenciaga came under fire for its controversial advertising, prompting Kim, a mother of four, to express her concerns about the disturbing images. Despite this, she later announced her partnership with the brand, sparking criticism for seemingly overlooking the earlier controversy.

In response, Kim stated that she had discussed the issue with Balenciaga and appreciated their apology and the removal of the controversial ads. She emphasized the importance of prioritizing the safety of children and hoped that the brand would take necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

Nevertheless, Kim’s latest appearance at the Balenciaga event has reignited discussions not only about her evolving appearance but also about her association with controversial brands. As speculation continues to swirl, only time will tell how Kim addresses these concerns and whether she chooses to address them publicly.
