Reality television star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has left her social media followers astonished after disclosing an unexpectedly relatable beauty choice. The 45-year-old founder of SKIMS revealed she recently had her ears pierced at the popular high-street accessory chain, Claire's, during a trip to Hawaii.
A Surprise Confession in a Festive Vlog
Kardashian made the casual revelation while filming a Christmas Eve vlog for her TikTok audience. As she prepared for her family's annual holiday celebration, the star, dressed in a grey silk robe with feather detailing, took viewers into her spacious walk-in closet. "Hey guys, so I just want you to know that I recently got my ears pierced at Claire's in Hawaii," she explained directly to the camera, showing off her tiny new studs.
She elaborated on her decision, stating that for a long period she did not have pierced ears, which made wearing earrings a challenge. "Every time I put in an earring, I would like... have to re-pierce it. So, I thought that I would make life easy and just get them done again," Kardashian admitted. She added that while she loves her Claire's earrings, she occasionally opts for more luxurious pieces.
Fan Reaction and a Glamorous Finale
The mention of the globally recognised retailer, founded in Illinois in 1961, prompted a wave of amused and delighted comments from fans on social media. One user wrote, "Did she say Claire's?" while another commented, "Ears pierced at CLAIRES.. i love it." Others speculated about a potential collaboration or shared their own experiences at the store.
Later in the vlog, Kardashian demonstrated her point about stepping up her jewellery by swapping her Claire's studs for a pair of dazzling, dangly diamond earrings by renowned designer Lorraine Schwartz. "Wow," she exclaimed as she put them on, completing a vintage Mugler ensemble for the evening's festivities.
Family Moments and Puppy Controversy
The vlog also offered glimpses into Kardashian's holiday preparations inside her $60 million Hidden Hills mansion, which was lavishly decorated with multiple snow-flocked Christmas trees. She was seen taking photos with her four children: North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.
In another segment, she revealed to her glam team the special Christmas gift for each of her children: Pomeranian puppies. She later shared clips of the puppies on Instagram on Christmas Day. However, the gift attracted criticism from some followers and users on platforms like Reddit, who argued that puppies are not suitable as surprise presents and expressed concerns about the long-term responsibility involved.
The video concluded with a light-hearted FaceTime call to Lorraine Schwartz, where Kardashian showed off her final party look. When Schwartz asked if there were any "hot guys" at the event, Kardashian dryly replied, "No... I doubt it." She also hinted about her Christmas wishes, with Schwartz humorously singing, "All I want for Christmas are these earrings."
It was noted that the famous Kardashian-Jenner family opted for a more intimate Christmas Eve gathering for the second consecutive year, with Khloe Kardashian explaining the decision was due to their mother Kris Jenner's recent large 70th birthday celebration.
