How Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson Went From Clashing Style to Matching Outfits
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have been reportedly going strong since late 2021. The 41-year-old Skims co-founder and 28-year-old comedian are not the first unexpected couple within the Kardashian family, but it’s clear that love has been in the air since they found each other on the set of “Saturday Night Live,” where the reality TV star memorably took the stage in pink velvet Balenciaga for her opening monologue.
According to recent episodes of Disney+’s “The Kardashians,” Kardashian has been exploring her own personal style now that she and Kanye West have split. She is a brand ambassador for Balenciaga and is becoming recognised for her boundary-pushing futuristic look. Whether in Skims or Balenciaga spandex pantaleggings, Kardashian maintains a sleek and clean aesthetic for both casual day and dressier nightwear, which is often finished with a metallic flash or oversize sunglasses.
Davidson, meanwhile, is known for his more casual and relaxed street style looks that typically consist of layered outerwear from popular labels like Supreme, Dickies, Carhartt, and Vans. On the red carpet, he’s inclined to sport classic suiting from the likes of Prada and Dior. Together, he and Kardashian have proven to complement one another with ease, with Kardashian meeting Davidson halfway in her slightly sportier pieces for city outings and Davidson dressing in neutrals to allow focus on his girlfriend’s high octane glamour at events. It’s a fair balance, and we’ve loved every peek we’ve been granted thus far.
