There are rebound looks and then there are Kim Kardashian rebound looks. While Kanye West was busy shopping at Balenciaga, Kim was checking into Baker’s Bay Golf and Ocean Club in the Bahamas with Pete Davidson. Nothing trumps tagliatelle at Carbone – the setting of Ye’s now infamous fashion shoot for Julia Fox – quite like six miles of sandy beaches and itsy bitsy Skyler bikinis. As rumours swirled about her former husband’s new love interest, Kardashian posted a thirst trap selfie with the immortal words of Mariah Carey for company: “Sweet sweet fantasy baby.” Translation: Kim is way too busy being Kim to read TMZ’s hot takes on the bubbling Fox-West union.
The deal clincher for Kim was a sizzling black bonded scuba body by rising London star Maximilian Davis, who is also a favourite of Rihanna’s. Worn underneath a pair of low-slung, slashed baggy jeans, the cut-out leotard was an advert for casually smoking rebound dressing done well. Kardashian still looked like herself – but the sexy, grungy kind of Kim who likes her jeans distressed and her men like Davidson. Unlike all-out revenge glamour – the kind practised by Princess Diana as Charles and Camilla’s relationship came to light and J Lo when Bennifer first fizzled out – Kim’s lo-fi smouldering style is the quiet kind of “look at me”.
