Reality television star, Kim Kardashian, has certainly sparked a strong interest in latex and vinyl dresses. She is often credited for singlehandedly generating a widespread love of the rising celebrity latex trend. Whether she’s been spotted in salmon pink latex dresses or equally show-stopping numbers, Kim Kardashian is never afraid to show off her personal sense of style. In recent news, Kim is expecting her third child with husband and musician, Kanye West.
The 36-year-old reality star is not normally spotted in maxi length dresses, and this case was a special exception. While stepping out at New York Fashion Week, Kim stole the show with a floor-skimming black vinyl dress. At the Tom Ford runway collection, Kim Kardashian looked stunning in a seriously edgy vinyl dress.
Featuring a simple strapless design, the dress certainly showed off the Kardashian’s voluminous figure. To add a bit of edge, the dress included a long silver zipper down the back, which was almost fully zipped to the floor. To style her look, Kim opted for a pair of strappy heels. We’ve definitely seen Kim wear latex and vinyl looks before, but this particular dress included a long-length hem. Elegant yet chic, a black vinyl dress is such a bold way to experiment with a new look.
Opt for a style just like Kim’s, which features an exposed zipper, for a look that’s subversive and cool. Kim Kardashian also unveiled her latest hair style, showcasing her platinum blonde locks while attending New York Fashion Week. Now is the best time to mix up your wardrobe routine with a fun fabric like 4-Way Stretch Vinyl. Be sure to browse our selection of 4-Way Stretch Vinyl fabric available here at MJTrends.

What caught my attention most was how minimal the styling was with just strappy heels, letting the texture and sheen of the vinyl dress really do all the talking.
The detail about the long silver zipper running almost the full back really stood out to me, since it adds that industrial edge to what could have been a simple strapless silhouette.
The suggestion to try 4-way stretch vinyl makes sense after seeing how fitted her dress looked; without stretch, that kind of silhouette would be nearly impossible to pull off comfortably.
I like how the article points out the floor-skimming length since Kim usually avoids maxi styles; that black vinyl version at Tom Ford felt like a deliberate shift while still keeping her signature body-conscious look.
Her platinum blonde hair paired with the black vinyl dress created a sharp contrast that made the whole NYFW appearance feel even more intentional and styled.
Interesting that her pregnancy was mentioned alongside the outfit, because the dress still emphasized her curves without looking restrictive, which isn’t always easy with vinyl fabrics.
I’ve seen her in plenty of latex looks, but the longer hemline here definitely made it feel more elegant than her usual shorter pieces while still keeping that bold vibe.
