Cindy Kimberly just delivered her most daring runway moment yet, and she put the cutest bubblegum Barbiecore spin on it. The Netherlands-born model and designer stole the show at Etam’s Paris Fashion Week runway event, rocking a bold two-piece lingerie-inspired look that fused hyperfemininity with raw, rockstar confidence.

The look

The 26-year-old wore a blush-toned corset with an asymmetrical neckline: one side featured a classic structured strapless silhouette, while the other featured a dramatic underbust cut that left half of her bustline bare, covered with a perfectly placed pink bow pastie. Below, she paired the unique top with micro ruffled bloomers in a matching shimmering pink hue for a monochrome finish.

Kimberly confidently strutted down the catwalk to a roaring crowd, wearing ivory balletcore-inspired heels with satin ribbon ankle ties, which rounded out the look. On Instagram, she also shared a series of behind the scenes snaps, captioning the post with a fitting: “🎀🎀 felt cute 🎀🎀🎀.”

About Etam

The show was part of Etam’s annual runway spectacular, which often doubles as a celebration of womanhood and a fashion-for-a-cause event. This year, the French lingerie brand highlighted its pink capsule line, pledging 10% of the proceeds from that collection to cancer research throughout October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Etam’s pink collection, combined with its signature theatrical staging, proved to be a perfect match for Kimberly, who has made a name for herself by turning sultry into an art form.

Modeling mogul

It’s been a huge 2025 for Kimberly, whose modeling career began on Tumblr and has since skyrocketed. She made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2022, in a Y2K-inspired shoot photographed by Ben Watts in Barbados.

This year alone, she’s walked the NYFW runway for Oh Polly, graced the cover of Galore magazine, made her big-screen debut in Lake George, released a music video for her debut single “Cherry Red” and launched digital prints on her website cindykimberly.com.

A passion for fashion

Of course, Kimberly is also the founder and creative force behind LOBA, her growing fashion label. Known for its mix of sizzling, skin-baring silhouettes and timeless elegance, LOBA is beloved by fans for offering pieces that feel personal and powerful. As Kimberly puts it:

“I think the pieces from the collection are all kind of different,” she told Teen Vogue. “There's a theme throughout, but I also think there’s space for different types of girls with different personalities. I like exploring myself through fashion and trying different styles out. It's such an important way to express yourself.”
