Kim Kardashian is taking her love for vintage fashion to another level. The reality star has once again dipped into the fashion archives, this time bringing back one of Louis Vuitton’s most memorable runway looks from nearly two decades ago. Styled by celebrity stylist Law Roach, Kim recreated the iconic nurse-inspired ensemble from the French luxury fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection, originally designed under the creative direction of Marc Jacobs.

A look back at Louis Vuitton’s iconic spring 2008 collection
The striking look, which Law shared on Instagram on November 11, 2026, features Kim in a sheer white silk nurse-inspired dress. She paired it with a customised nurse’s cap featuring her initial, a sequinned scarf covering the lower half of her face, white tights and peep-toe heels. A Louis Vuitton monogram handbag completed the archival-inspired ensemble.
The original outfit made its runway debut during Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2008 show, when Marc Jacobs was at the helm of the fashion house. The collection featured a series of nurse-inspired ensembles worn by supermodels, including Naomi Campbell and Stephanie Seymour.
The models walked the runway in distinctive nurse outfits featuring personalised caps and black lace masks embroidered with the Louis Vuitton monogram. The collection was inspired by American painter and photographer Richard Prince’s Nurse Paintings series and also marked a collaboration between the artist and the fashion house.
According to InStyle, milliner Stephen Jones created Kim’s customised nurse’s cap for the look. The styling closely echoes the original Louis Vuitton runway presentation while giving the ensemble a contemporary celebrity-fashion twist.
