Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lawrence's Secret History Is Stranger Than You Think

Kim Kardashian kicked off a day of press appearances in New York City this week by wearing a vintage Paco Rabanne party dress on Good Morning America.

The gown came from the French house's Spring/Summer 1989 couture collection.

It was a peach-colored piece with a one-shoulder silhouette and a side cutout.

The top was constructed from hundreds of metal discs stitched together, creating what looked like a backless piece of armor.

From the waist down, a long silk-crepe skirt dropped to the ankle.

She paired it with heeled sandals that had clear PVC straps.

The look was styled by Law Roach, who has worked with Kardashian for years.

The dress was sourced by Maison Vintage Virtuoso, a Paris-based archival studio that specializes in couture pieces.

Kardashian's team was introduced to the gown four months ago.

The same ensemble recently sold for nearly $11,500 on the resale site 1st Dibs.

Kardashian was on GMA to promote the second season of her legal drama "All's Fair."

During the interview, she shared behind-the-scenes stories from the set.

She revealed that she thought her costar Sarah Paulson's lower-register on-camera voice was Paulson's real voice until just a few weeks ago.

Despite that mix-up, Kardashian said the cast was close on set and often broke character during scenes.

"They made Sarah and I one time get up and take a walk around the building because they said we needed to get it together," the Skims founder told the talk show.

"We were laughing so hard."

Later in the day, Kardashian changed into a sheer knit minidress from Dolce and Gabbana's Autumn/Winter 1997 collection.

Her press tour wardrobe has been carefully curated, according to reports.

It includes custom gowns from Ashi Studio, vintage pieces from Todd Oldham, and standout couture looks from Schiaparelli.

The GMA appearance was part of a broader press push for season two of "All's Fair."

Critics have been mixed on the new season.

Some have called it "the worst TV series of the 21st century," though Kardashian has brushed off the criticism and returned for the second season anyway.

The legal drama also stars Sarah Paulson, and the cast has been doing a series of interviews and appearances in New York.

Kardashian's friendship with Paulson has been a topic of interest during the press tour.

On GMA, she described how the two would make each other laugh so much that production had to separate them.

The vintage Paco Rabanne dress was one of the most talked-about looks of the morning.

Fashion observers noted that wearing a 36-year-old couture piece on a morning talk show was an unusual choice.

Most celebrities save such elaborate gowns for red carpets or evening events.

Kardashian has been leaning into vintage fashion in recent months.

Her stylist Law Roach has sourced archival pieces from several decades for her public appearances.

The Paco Rabanne dress was sourced from Paris and held for four months before the GMA booking came through.

Kardashian is also dealing with health issues while promoting the show.

On the most recent episode of "The Kardashians," she revealed she had been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia.

The diagnosis came before she underwent surgery to address esophagitis, a condition she had been dealing with.

Upon learning about the hernia, Kardashian told her doctor, "My dad had that."

Her father, Robert Kardashian Sr., died of esophageal cancer in 2003.

Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, accompanied her to the doctor's appointment and expressed concern.

"So of course I'm scared," Jenner said in a confessional.

"I don't want to tell her I'm scared, but it's very worrisome. We just pray for the best."

Kardashian said during the episode that she had undergone surgery to "cut out ... irregularities" in her esophagus.

She had first mentioned her symptoms in an earlier episode, saying her throat had been "killing [her]."

Despite the health concerns, Kardashian continued with her press tour for "All's Fair."

The show's second season is now streaming.

Kardashian's relationship with her costars has been a key part of the show's marketing.

Her friendship with Jennifer Lawrence has also been in the news recently.

The two were photographed out together in New York City last night, beginning the evening in regular attire and ending it in matching Skims pajamas and robes as they left the Four Seasons hotel.

Lawrence has been a fan of the Kardashian family since she was 14.

She told Kylie Jenner in a 2023 interview for Interview magazine that she had been watching "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" since she was a teenager.

"I've been watching the show since I was, not to date myself, 14, so I would say I know everything about your family," she said.

Lawrence's first big public moment with the Kardashian-Jenner family came in 2015, when Kris Jenner posted a photo of Lawrence in bed with her along with a birthday message.

In November 2017, Lawrence interviewed Kardashian on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" while serving as a guest host.

Kardashian revealed during that interview where they first met.
