Kourtney Kardashian Barker has always been confident in her fashion sense, often opting for a more " rebellious" look than her sisters. These days, as a new mom, she opts for comfort in pajamas and goes "glam-less" but still rocks it. However, there was a time when Kourtney questioned her outfit, and it was at the 2009 Emmy Awards.
In the July 4th episode of The Kardashians, when Kourtney was getting ready for the 2024 Emmys, she recalled the gray strapless dress she wore to the Emmys in 2009. She attended the event with her sister Kim and Ryan Seacrest, the creator of Keeping Up With Kardashians. At the time, Kourtney was expecting her first child, Mason, and the E! show was skyrocketing.
Fifteen years later, Kourtney is experiencing her second Emmys Red Carpet, dressing in a more gothic vibe with an all-black suit and a matching peek-a-boo lacey bra. She attended the ceremony with her husband, Travis Barker, and supported him when he opened for the show with his drumming.
Now, looking back at her first Emmy Red Carpet, Kourtney doesn't have fond memories about the dress she had worn.
Why Kourtney Kardashian didn't like her 2009 Emmys dress
Kourtney had one fashion faux pas in her life and that was the dress she wore for the 2009 Emmys. The strapless dark gray piece had an empire waistline and a flowing skirt, and the reality star accessorized it with an open bangle bracelet. At the time, it was the style of the late Y2K Era, and while we all love Y2K, Kourtney's reflection is correct.
"I went to the Emmys fifteen years ago and the look was very different,' Kourtney tells her makeup artist on Thursday's episode. "I just wore this random gray --I don't even know the designer I don't even know where I got it or how I even got dressed."
It's possible that the dress was from the Kardashian boutique DASH, as the sisters wore their own merchandise for promotion and advertising. Other than that, the Emmys dress origin remains a mystery.
Kourtney phoned her sister Kim to see if she could help her remember Emmy Night since she attended it with her. It turns out Kim offered little help, but like Kourtney, she did reminisce on her attire.
"I wore a white off-the-shoulder with a bluish- eye. We got ready in your condo right down the street in Calabasas in your kitchen," Kim shares with her sister. "What desperate people , but now, your husband is performing at the Emmys."
Kourtney additionally revealed that the 2024 Emmys is the first public outing she and Travis will have together since welcoming their son Rocky in November 2023. The mom of four stepped out of her "blissful baby bubble" to "enjoy" life and "be in that moment." But when Travis wraps up his set and leaves, it's back to cuddling Rocky.
