Tap title to read story
Kim Kardashian’s $148 SKIMS advent calendar has sparked online backlash after a viral TikTok video with more than forty‑five million views labeled its contents as cheap junk. The video shows the creator unboxing all twelve days, revealing SKIMS‑branded keychains, silk hair ties, hair pins, a squishy, and Christmas ornaments, and expressing frustration over the price. Comments echoed the sentiment, with users calling the items lawsuit‑worthy, describing them as “Temu junk,” and questioning the value. Page Six reached out to Kardashian’s representatives for comment but did not receive a response. This is not the first time the 46‑year‑old has faced criticism over SKIMS products, including a 2023 “Ultimate Bush” collection and a 2024 religious‑themed shoot with Dolce & Gabbana.
