‘All’s Fair’ Star Kim Kardashian (45) Turns Heads in a Sculpted Black Peplum Dress Ahead of Her Jimmy Kimmel Live Appearance

Kim Kardashian has been everywhere this October. Fresh off an early birthday getaway to a private island in the Philippines, the reality star and actor is back in Los Angeles and in full promotional mode for her Hulu legal drama ‘All’s Fair’.

The week has been busy on the business front too. Kardashian recently fronted a campaign for a SKIMS collaboration with DoorDash, which delivers pieces from her shapewear brand straight to customers’ doors. And with her birthday on October 21, the celebrations aren’t over yet.

On Thursday, she brought that momentum to late-night television. Kardashian was photographed waving to fans as she arrived at ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live‘ in Hollywood, wearing a sculpted black peplum dress that quickly became one of the day’s most talked-about looks.

Kardashian kept the look minimal but dramatic. The fitted black dress featured a structured peplum that flared out at the waist, giving the classic silhouette a bold, architectural edge.

She styled it with her long dark hair worn loose in soft waves and kept the rest of the look understated. Flanked by security as she walked in, she smiled and waved to the crowd gathered outside the studio.

The monochrome outfit fits her usual red carpet style, where clean lines and statement shapes tend to do the talking. It also matched the polished, glamorous energy she’s been bringing to her ‘All’s Fair’ press appearances.

Kardashian visited Kimmel’s show to promote the second season of ‘All’s Fair’, which premieres November 4 on Hulu with 3 episodes. The Ryan Murphy series follows a team of high-powered female divorce attorneys at an all-women firm in Los Angeles.

She stars as Allura Grant alongside an impressive ensemble that includes Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close. The official logline promises the lawyers of Grant, Ronson & Greene are back for “another season of scandals, secrets, and stilettos.”

In China, I opted out for just fries.” Jimmy Kimmel: “Is your red light therapy like the lamp over the chicken nuggets at McDonald’s?” Kim Kardashian: “Exactly. I got ready for carpool wearing the gloves, the neck one, and the face one, and told the kids, ‘Get in!’”

According to the season’s synopsis, new alliances will form, friendships will be tested and a shocking revelation will threaten the firm. It’s a lot of drama, which is exactly what fans have come to expect. The first season drew harsh reviews when it debuted in 2025. Even so, it became Hulu’s biggest scripted premiere in 3 years, which helped pave the way for the renewal.

Kardashian has acknowledged the show’s reputation with good humor. She has said the cast originally took Season 1 seriously, but once they saw audiences finding it comical, they decided to lean into that for the new season.

She has also praised Murphy’s vision for the series, saying she believed he knew exactly what he was doing. That self-aware approach could be a smart move for a show that has thrived on online conversation.

Kardashian wasn’t the only guest on Thursday’s episode. Judd Apatow also stopped by to promote his new Netflix documentaries, ‘Norm: The Tale of Norm Macdonald’ and ‘Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story’.

The episode also featured a musical performance from Adryon de León with the Cletones. With Kardashian on the couch, the night was sure to draw plenty of attention. Between her island birthday trip, her latest SKIMS collaboration, and a new season of television on the way, Kardashian is juggling a lot.

Judging by her confident arrival in Hollywood, she’s handling it all with her usual polish. With the ‘All’s Fair’ premiere just weeks away, expect more appearances and more standout looks as the press tour continues. Fans can catch the new season when it arrives on Hulu in November.
