Kim Kardashian slammed for breaking strict Vatican dress code rules with very revealing outfit
She came under fire for her outfit choice
Many celebrities have broken the strict rules of the Vatican over the years, and Kim Kardashian came under fire in 2021 for her controversial outfit choice while visiting the sacred site.
Kim Kardashian shared pictures of her visit to the Vatican, saying on Instagram: “We had the most incredible experience touring Vatican City @vaticanmuseums. It was amazing to be able to view all of the iconic art, architecture and ancient Roman sculptures in person, especially Michelangelo’s works.
“We even had an opportunity to view their private archive of robes worn by every pope in history, dating back to the 1500s. Thank you @ocspecial for arranging the visit.”

However, the outfit she was seen wearing in her pictures caused serious controversy as it was a very figure-hugging white lace dress, with cut-outs exposing her bare skin around her stomach and waist, alongside her shoulders being fully exposed.
The Vatican rules clearly state that “no sleeveless or low-cut garments” are to be worn when visiting, “shoulders and knees must be covered”, alongside “no see-through clothing” or “revealing necklines or barebacks.”
Given that Kim Kardashian wore a dress that was both sleeveless, semi see-through and her shoulders were exposed, it’s safe to say her outfit utterly broke the Vatican dress code rules.
However, following the backlash to her outfit, Kim clarified that she had changed her outfit when she was inside the Sistine Chapel and Basilica.
She explained: “Don’t worry, I adhered to the dress code and fully covered up while inside St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel.”
