Kim Kardashian in Cruella corset at Rome photocall

Kim Kardashian made a striking entrance at the All's Fair series two rooftop photocall in Rome, channeling Cruella de Vil in a daring polka dot bridal couture gown by Galia Lahav ^[1]. Flanked by dalmatians and styled by Law Roach, the 46-year-old fashion mogul wore a strapless corset with a daring hip cut-out and dramatic skirt, forgoing jewellery and opting for a high ponytail ^[2]. She was joined by co-stars Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, and Naomi Watts, who also embraced the animal print theme with a white and black corset gown.

The legal drama, created by Ryan Murphy and set at a Los Angeles firm specialising in high-stakes female settlements, arrives on Hulu on November 4 ^[1]. Despite an all-star cast and heavy promotion, it received near-universal condemnation from critics. The Times’s Ben Dowell called it 'the worst TV drama ever', while The Guardian’s Lucy Mangan described it as 'existentially terrible'. Even The Telegraph’s Ed Power, who gave it one star, accused Murphy of creating 'mind-bending horror'.

Kim admitted she feared she had 'ruined' the series upon its debut, her first leading scripted role ^[1]. She blamed herself for the 0% Rotten Tomatoes score and 19/100 Metacritic rating, though she said her co-stars reassured her they were 'OK' ^[2]. She acknowledged the criticism but said they had 'so much fun' and embraced the show’s unexpected comedic tone after audience reactions.

Despite the backlash, All’s Fair scored a strong debut with 3.2 million views—calculated as total viewing minutes divided by running time—marking Hulu’s best start for an original scripted series in three years ^[1]. Kim is now focused on expanding her acting career, having wrapped the Netflix comedy The Fifth Wheel, directed by Eva Longoria, expected to premiere later this year or early 2027. The story was first reported by Daily Mail and Daily Mail Showbiz.
