Kim launched new make-up pencils, but we're obsessed with her office
The strangest things inside her and other celebrities' offices
January 19th, 2024
Kim Kardashian has the innate ability to make headlines no matter what she does. Whether she's buying an exclusive Chanel, unveiling a new collaboration with Skims, wearing jewelry, or showcasing a Nipple Bra, it doesn't matter—the effect is the same: instant virality. Perhaps it's a talent inherited from Kris Jenner, the adept momager rumored to be the real secret behind the success of the Kardashian-Jenner family and also the love lives of her daughters. In any case, not a day goes by without Kim and her sisters being in the spotlight. This time, the official reason is the launch of SKKN by Kim Makeup, although the attention has been captured by the tour of Kim Kardashian's office featured in the launch video. Spoiler: it's not just desks, sofas, and relaxation areas; instead, there are customized mannequins with her measurements and Red Light Therapy beds. But let's take it step by step. And let's start with the new products.
SKKN by Kim Makeup
Kim Kardashian's rebirth also involves her beauty brands. KKW is just a distant memory, as is her marriage to Kanye West, and Kim is ready for a new chapter: SKKN by Kim Makeup, which will hit stores and "your makeup bags on January 26th." It will be characterized by skin-loving formulas inspired by her iconic smoky eye and nude lips. The focus of the first drop is on lips with pencils to match creamy and matte lipsticks. There are 10 Soft Matte Lip Color lipsticks, matte, velvety, full-coverage, ranging from the very light Light Beige to the Dusty Peach pink and the darker shades of Rich Mahogany. The lip liners, on the other hand, come in 15 neutral shades, and their formula is enriched with jojoba oil and squalane to sculpt and define the lip contour, hydrating and minimizing micro-wrinkles at the same time. Also coming soon is the Classic Mattes Eyeshadow set, a palette of 12 matte and silky eyeshadows, all in brown tones.
Welcome to Kim Kardashian's office: mannequins, tanning beds, and Kim's 3D brain
The SKKN launch video? A tour of the office, entirely customized by Rick Owens, featuring neutral-colored walls, gray and black furniture, and various quirks. Kim's workspace doesn't just include computers, paperwork, and perhaps photos of her children or a foosball table to relax between meetings. Riding the "Of Course" trend on TikTok, the star showed the things that make SKKN's headquarters special and very personal. "I'm Kim Kardashian, and... of course, I have all the covers of my magazines covering my walls," she says while wearing a greige fur coat, walking through a corridor, and entering a room dedicated to the vanity with hair and makeup stations, focusing on a mannequin that replicates her exact measurements. Passing by a wall where a giant TV screen loops her beauty campaigns, Kim arrives in her office. Here, on the desk, stand out 3D models of her brain (yes, you read that right!) and her airplane. But anyone who stops is lost, and in a second, we find ourselves with Kardashian on a tanning bed and then on an infrared therapy bed, located next to a room full of SKKN products.
Not just Kim, quirky items in other celebrities' offices
Kylie Jenner has posted a tour of Kylie Cosmetics' premises on her YouTube channel, taking her followers through waiting rooms with comfortable sofas, coffee table books, pop-art-style artworks on the walls, and an all-white room dedicated to creativity. Her personal office? A realm dominated by pink and white, featuring M&Ms with her face, a bouquet of flowers made with banknotes, and a champagne vending machine, full of Moët & Chandon bottles. In the family reality show, Kourtney Kardashian gave fans a peek into her home office, a space created by interior designer Martyn Bullard with vintage rattan chairs, high ceilings, wooden floors, and plenty of natural light. The glam touch? Photographs and cinema-inspired prints along one wall. Fearne Cotton's home office is a burst of millennial pink, flamingos, and artworks with motivational phrases.
Victoria Beckham prefers a very neutral and simple look with an extra-long metal desk and a large framed photo of all her children hanging on the wall. The airy corner office of Anna Wintour at the Condé Nast headquarters in the One World Trade Center, on the other hand, is characterized by minimalist design, with refined black and white shots, an elegant dark desk, and chrome-plated industrial metal chairs. The model? Tolix Marais A Chair. The offices of Honest Company, Jessica Alba's brand, Playa Vista, California, feature a large communal kitchen, lounge areas, a showroom for the company's more than 100 eco-friendly baby, personal care and cleaning products, and plenty of plants. Alba's personal office, on the other hand-no traditional desk with computer, but a comfortable sofa, a round table, an espresso machine, and artwork by her two daughters, Honor and Haven, as decorations. Goop's headquaters in Santa Monica, designed by architecture and interior design firm Rapt Studio, reflect the sleek style of their founder. Inside are test kitchens, a wellness lab for research and development, a fashion wardrobe, recording studios, and a mini Goop showroom where VIP clients can take a closer look at the brand's products. Gwyneth Paltrow's personal office, meanwhile, mixes wooden benches and metal shelving. The star's only special request? A shower.
