Kim Kardashian just brought back the iconic Noughties 'Bumster' silhouette during the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco. The reality star stepped out in a glitzy black dress by Gucci to support her boyfriend, Ferrari racing driver Lewis Hamilton.
The long-sleeved, shimmering gown featured a mock neck with a daring backless design accented with Gucci's crystal-encrusted "G" logo on the thong. The risqué thing detailing was originally designed by Tom Ford for Gucci in the early 2000's, and has since become one of the brand’s most defining features. Kim's luscious raven locks were swept back into an elegant updo with face-framing tendrils while her makeup oozed soft glam, courtesy of a smoky eye and a glossy lip. The star was photographed posing on a yacht as she showed off her bare back.
The garment was first worn by none other than Kate Moss during Gucci's fall/winter 2026 runway show, which marked Demna's debut collection for the fashion house. Unlike Kim, Kate's blonde tresses were left down in soft waves and her dress was styled with diamond-encrusted earrings.

The divisive style essentially refers to low rise pants that sit just below the hips to expose the upper part of the buttocks. Ensembles that spotlight a Bumster typically feature a figure-hugging silhouette designed to highlight and accentuate the body's curves.

Kim's Gucci agenda
Kim had chosen Gucci as her choice of designer for her trip to Monaco, as she served up a fashion marathon in Demna's creations. As she arrived at the Circuit de Monaco, she wore a slinky, asymmetric custom Gucci cream dress that featured a one-shouldered silhouette with an open back.

After months of speculation, Lewis and Kim went Instagram official back in April. Sharing a video of him drifting in a vintage Ferrari in Tokyo, the last shot revealed that he had been driving with Kim in the passenger seat, who is seen smiling and laughing as the car comes to a stop.
