Though she has a closet bursting with expensive, high-fashion labels like Versace and Hermès (why have one Birkin when you can have over a dozen?), Kim Kardashian opted to dress down in the name of basketball.
On May 8, the Skims founder sat courtside with momager Kris Jenner and fashion designer friend Sarah Staudinger at an NBA playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors, and her cheeky T-shirt caught everyone’s attention.
Kim Kardashian paired a destroyed-on-purpose white T-shirt—complete with a ripped collar—with baggy, destroyed-on-purpose jeans, both of which I’m sure are very expensive, despite their ratty appearance. Her take on the cool-girl uniform also included heeled sandals, a layered gold choker, and a cross pendant. She slicked her hair back into a sleek ponytail and decided against earrings so her natural glam could could be front and center.
But the basic white tee she wore had an interesting message: “I LOVE NERDS.” Kimmy’s love life post-Kanye has remained shockingly quiet, other than her short-lived relationship with BDE comedian Pete Davidson. Since the couple’s July 2022 split, Kardashian is living the single life, but maybe she’s ready for more.
Still, a statement tee? About boys?! What year is it, 2007? Because this is definitely something Paris Hilton would’ve worn in her “Stop Being Desperate” tank top era.
Whether she’s low-key on the hunt for a nerdy boo, or just giving people something to talk about, Kim Kardashian’s style never quits.
