She got everyone talking earlier this week, when she stepped out with Balmain creative director Oliver Rousteing in Paris.

Donning an extremely low-cut black-and-white dress, she proudly displayed her cleavage and her toned legs.

But departing from the French captial today, Kris Jenner opted for a decidedly more low-key get-up.

Rocking a pyjamas-inspired vibe, the style of which might more readily be associated with one of her four grandchildren, on further inspection the reality TV momager had in fact opted for trousers and a matching shirt by Stella McCartney. 

Costing an eye-watering €1,200, the items are adorned with a colourful-faces design.

The 59-year-old carried a bright yellow Hermes Birkin bag, versions of which can cost up to €130,000, and also wore skater shoes – a style popular with teenagers.

Kris was leaving France following a whistle-stop stay. With her dozen or so suitcases in tow, she made her way to her private jet via a chauffeur-driven car. 

On Friday, Caitlyn Jenner took to social media to express her love and respect for her one-time wife.

Caitlyn, as Bruce Jenner, and Kris were married for close-to 25 years and have two daughters together, Kendall, 19, and Kylie, 17.

Caitlyn Jenner officially broke the Internet with her amazing shoot with Vanity Fair.

In fact, the 65-year-old has been positively stealing the spotlight from the mega-famous Kardashian clan since the cover shoot went viral.

So understandably, we've all been waiting ever since for reality TV's first family to come out fighting, ready to reclaim their stardom crowns.  

Kris Jenner, in particular, has been noticeably quiet – perhaps as a result of the criticisms she's faced in the aftermath of Caitlyn's unveiling. 

However, it seems she's not quite ready to let her ex-husband steal all her spotlight… as she is now back with a bang.

She posted a picture on Instagram yesterday of her boarding a private plane to Paris in her PJs, but once she landed, she looked amazing.

The 59-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians momager showed off A LOT cleavage in an extremely low-plunging black and white mini dress (she's evidently been picking up fashion tips from her famous daughters).

She completed the look with a black knee-length blazer, oversized sunglasses, a Chanel clutch, and black sandals.

At almost 60, Kris ditched her bra and happily broke the sacred boobs-or-legs (never both!) rule.

She was spotted in this monochrome ensemble walking hand-in-hand with Balmain designer, Olivier Roustaing, leaving the swish Hotel Costes.

Fresh from her brother Brody posting a sexually suggestive image, Kylie, 17, was the first to take to social media to point out just how amazing her mum looks.

She included caption: "Damn ma! I hope I look this good at ur fine age #momgoals."

Taylor Swift looked stunning at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday in her Balmain jumpsuit from the spring/summer 2015 collection.

However, not everybody knew it was Balmain and the whole thing got very awkward.

Fashion retailer Nasty Gal has taken credit for the outfit because they have an almost identical piece.

They posted a picture to social media of Tay on the red carpet and told their followers she was wearing their jumpsuit.

Not surprisingly, the piece quickly sold out because we're sure it cost A LOT less than the Balmain one which cost thousands. 

However, the post was then deleted after people were pointing out the mistake.

The Fashion Law said: "We can certainly conclude one of two things. Either Nasty Gal is so good at copying other brands' garments stitch-for-stitch that even its employees cannot tell the difference between the real thing and the copy, or Nasty Gal knew that Swift was wearing Balmain and was using this opportunity to sell one of its near exact copies."

Balmain have announced a collaboration with H&M which was announced by members of the Balmain Army, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner who were also wearing Balmain on the night.

All hail H&M! A firm favourite of stylish bargain-hunters, it’s also brought us a decade of affordable designer attire via its celebrated collaborations.

Back in 2004, Karl Lagerfeld got the ball rolling – and since then the likes of Versace, Roberto Cavalli, and Matthew Williamson have all paired-up with the high-street outlet. Last year, Alexander Wang’s sporty offering arrived in stores, predictably sending shoppers into a frenzy.

And H&M this morning was able to confirm that its autumn designer collaboration will be with the Parisian house of Balmain. Hurrah!

We even already have an idea of what the collection will entail – via Kendall Jenner and Jourdan Dunn, who appeared at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas last night donning sneak-peak pieces.

The models were there alongside Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing, the 28-year-old who has since his arrival in 2011 nurtured the fashion house into a global pop-culture phenomenon.

Kendall wore a statement black blazer with white beading detail – very much Olivier’s signature style. Meanwhile, Jourdan opted for a military-feel navy top, similar versions of which have been spotted on the likes of Kim Kardashian. She completed the outfit with a red ruffle skirt and chunky metallic waist belt. Both had on a pair of thigh-high suede boots too.

Celebrity fans of the high-end label include Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Miley Cyrus, and Kim Kardashian.

“I want to talk to my generation − this is my main aim as a designer. H&M allows me the unique possibility of bringing everyone into the world of Balmain,” the designer said today in response to the announcement.

“The collaboration felt extremely natural to me as H&M is a brand that everybody connects to. It calls for unity, and I am all for it,” he added.

“We are excited to have Balmain as our guest designer at H&M,” the clothing company also said in a statement. “With its mix of couture spirit and streetwear attitude, Balmain owns a unique style; opulent and direct, sensual and energetic.”

Balmain is known for its sky-high prices: simple blazers come in at around €1,500, sandals are similarly priced, while a leather embellished mini dress from this season is a cool €8,500.

Although price-points for the forthcoming collaboration have yet to be released, last Novemeber the Alexander Wang collection ranged from €15 for over-the-knee socks, and €30 for a tank top, to €200 for footwear, and €350 for a metallic down jacket.

Available from November 5, in around 250 stores worldwide and online at hm.com, the Balmain collection will feature clothing and accessories for both ladies and men.

Balmain’s Creative Director Olivier Rousteing has divulged his attraction to stars such as Kim Kardashian and Rihanna.

Olivier has been credited with turning the clothing brand around with a focus on stars rather than on models. Speaking about this to The Telegraph, he says that people today are more interested in personality above all else: “When you look at the fashion brands, how many followers do they have? Balmain has 1.1 million. It's like 10 per cent of what those girls have. It shows you the power of the personality more than the power of the entire brand.”

However, he said he also keeps the classic Balmain brand in mind too, speaking about Pierre Balmain who established the fashion house in 1914: “I keep Pierre Balmain in my mind because he loved strong women, women who have something to say.”

And one reason Olivier may love Kim and Rihanna so much, it would seem, is all down to their curves: “Fashion had started to forget women in away, and concentrate too much on the clothes. For me it made no sense … The woman had to come back; the curved woman, and different kinds of body shapes. I don’t like skinny girls. I want to represent a real woman, not just a shadow or a ghost.”

While we appreciate what he is saying and there is no doubt that change in the fashion industry can only be a good thing, we’re not sure where he gets the idea that ‘skinny girls’ aren’t real women too…

 The designer also compared Rihanna to the classic beauty, Grace Kelly, saying: “She has this aura, this charisma. It’s not only sexual. It’s something else. She is like a new Grace Kelly, or a Madonna.”

It sounds like Olivier is taking some very different paths in the fashion world to other designers – what do you think?

It's been a big year for Kim Kardashian – from a blockbuster wedding to an internet-breaking bum – and she's rounding things off nicely with a very sexy photoshoot!

Kim and husband Kanye posted for Balmain's spring 2014 campaign as a couple, and the lead shot is this very steamy kiss, which Kim posted on her Instagram page yesterday:

The photo was simply captioned, "BALMAIN!!!" …so we're guessing she is excited!

Balmain's creative director Olivier Rousteing also joined in the hype, posting close-up zoomed in shots of both Kim and Kanye shortly beforehand:

Kim's always been a fan of the label, even wearing one of their dresses for her hen party, an incredible jewel -encrusted high-necked minidress that reportedly cost a cool $20,000.

Now that she and Kanye are the face of the label, we can expect a few more dresses like that one!
