Kim's Emotional Tributes, Fashion Missteps, and Skky-High Ambitions

Kim Kardashian BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Kim Kardashian’s life has never lacked headlines and the past week has been no exception. To kick off July, Kim shared intimate moments from her annual lake trip with her children, posting on Instagram snapshots of North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm enjoying the 4th of July with cousins and close friends. According to People, this year’s getaway carried a somber note as she remembered her late friend Lindsay May Palevsky, who passed away from a rare cancer last year, sharing heartfelt tributes about their bond and how Lindsay’s absence was felt in every sunset and quiet pause. The emotional transparency with her audience has ignited empathetic responses across social media.

Kim maintained her spotlight in the fashion world, stealing attention at Paris Fashion Week. E News reported that she walked the runway for Balenciaga’s Fall 2025 haute couture collection, the final show for designer Demna. Wearing a satin slip dress and draped fur coat in a look inspired by Elizabeth Taylor, Kim’s moment had all eyes on her, but not entirely for the reasons she’d wish. The Indulge Express noted fashion fans were divided, praising the glamour yet critiquing her walk as lacking the polish of seasoned models. Nonetheless, the event underscored Kim’s enduring influence within luxury fashion circles.

In business, Kim’s empire continues to evolve. Dot.LA announced she has joined tech investing ranks, launching the private equity fund Skky Partners with Jay Sammons, a Carlyle Group alum. This move leverages her branding acumen to invest in growth companies across media, hospitality, and digital markets, with Kris Jenner also involved. Industry insiders view this as a savvy play to expand her economic footprint well beyond reality TV and shapewear.

SKIMS itself, recently valued at $4 billion, was part of another major headline. As AOL and Bloomberg first broke, the much-anticipated NikeSKIMS line—meant to combine Kim’s brand with Nike’s athletic wear—was delayed due to production issues. While the collaboration remains strong and leadership changes at Nike are cited, no new launch date has been set, causing a stir among fans and investors alike. Nike’s stock, which is currently down this year, highlights how much is riding on the success of this partnership.

On social media, Kim also reignited conversation over a viral rumor from 2014. After a clip of her leaving a Paris hotel without daughter North resurfaced, she clarified via Instagram Stories that she did not forget her child, explaining she stepped out to get her look photographed. This explanation, according to Parade, stirred up renewed debate among fans but Kim remains characteristically unfazed, addressing criticism head-on.

Kim’s recent public and business activities suggest she continues to leverage her fame into both emotionally resonant and financially ambitious ventures, blending vulnerability and entrepreneurial daring in equal measure.
