Balmain is having a moment.
The French brand, first founded in 1945, has become hyper chic in recent years after Olivier Rousteing was appointed the creative director. Rousteing has been building a Balmain army ever since, famously posing with the likes of Rihanna, the Kardashian-Jenners, Cara Delevingne and more.
Balmain is now beloved among celebrities and though it’s haute couture, it doesn’t always look good on. The brand’s opulent beads, militaristic feel and avant-garde concepts are often too much to handle. Less is more, non? Here are all of the times celebrities looked stupid in Balmain.
