Kardashian fans make shocking comparison of Kim’s ‘embarrassing’ runway walk to iconic RHONY fashion show blunder
Kardashian fans have made a shocking comparison of Kim's embarrassing runway walk to an iconic Real Housewives of New York City fashion show blunder. Kim Kardashian, 41, walked the runway for Balenciaga's Haute Couture show today during Paris Fashion Week.
