Kim Kardashian Nearly Took a Tumble in 8-Inch Heels at 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars Party

Kim Kardashian experienced a slight stumble while making her grand entrance at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars Party on Sunday night, but recovered with the facilitate of her team. The incident occurred as she walked down a sidewalk with friend Stephanie Shepherd, showcasing her striking gold Gucci gown paired with Pleaser heels and ice-blue colored contact lenses.

A Near Fall on the Sidewalk

In a clip shared on TikTok, Kardashian questioned whether her right shoe “should be tighter” before immediately losing her balance and nearly falling into shrubbery. Fortunately, her friend and team members were quick to steady her.

“Oh! Sorry, sorry! My ankle,” she said as she regained her footing. She then noted she needed her left shoe tightened before continuing towards the event.

During the brief stumble, Kardashian inadvertently grabbed a passerby, apologizing for the accidental contact.

The Present-Stopping Look

Despite the minor mishap, Kardashian stunned in the gold ensemble, a form-fitting Gucci dress fresh off Demna’s runway at Milan Fashion Week. She completed the look with 3-carat Ofira Jewels diamond ear cuffs, a dark smoky eye, contoured cheekbones, and a glossy nude lip. Her hair was styled in a shoulder-length bob with a tousled wave.

The 8-inch Pleaser heels, specifically the gold mirrored Flamingo-808 style priced at $79.95, added significant height to the 5-foot-2 star, though fans observed she had some difficulty walking in them.

Lewis Hamilton’s Support

Kardashian’s look also caught the eye of her beau, Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, who left a heart-eye emoji on her Instagram post showcasing photos from the evening. The pair, who have been romantically linked since January, publicly debuted their relationship at the Super Bowl.
