That's awkward! Kris Jenner steps out in the SAME bold knit as blogger Chiara Ferragni at Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week

  • Both arrived at the Balmain show in £1495 floor-length knit cardigan
  • Kris, 59, paired it with a fringed gold necklace and skin-hugging leotard 
  • Italian internet star Chiara, 28, chose co-ordinating mini skirt

Kris Jenner was left red-faced on Thursday when she arrived at a Fashion Week event in Paris wearing the same striped maxi-cardigan as Italian fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni.

The pair doubled up on the striking £1495 floor-length knit, designed by Olivier Rousteing for the label's Fall 2015 collection, when they attended the Balmain show.

Though it's every celebrity's worst nightmare, particularly at a high profile event, both chose to style and accessorise the item very differently.

Perhaps taking tips from her daughter Kim Kardashian, 59-year-old Kris paired the maxi outerwear with a skin-tight black body suit that flaunted her curves and a pair of black patent strappy stilettos.

Mother-of-six Kris, who turned up to the show with her toyboy boyfriend Corey Gamble, finished her front row-worthy look with an eye-catching fringed gold necklace. 

Her short raven locks were worn in a coiffed style, while her makeup was typically glamorous as she shielded her eyes beneath a pair of over-sized black sunglasses.

Meanwhile, 28-year-old designer and internet star Chiara matched the bold 'coatigan' with a coordinating striped mini skirt, that showcased her tanned legs.

Earn your stripes in Kris' Balmain cardigan

Kendall Jenner stole the show at the Balmain SS16 presentation at Paris Fashion Week today. And guess who we spotted proudly sitting in the front row?

Kim Kardashian gave it a miss this time, but momager Kris Jenner made up for it! She has clearly been taking style tips from her daughters and layered a bold statement coat over her skintight black bodysuit, rounding the whole thing off with a cascading chain necklace.

The coat is of course by Balmain and we love the knitted texture, signature structured shoulders and bold black and orange stripes. It's certainly one way to stand out from the crowd! But the best news is that KJ's exact cardigan is now available to buy at Luisa Via Roma, so click (right) if you fancy adding a bit of Balmain to your wardrobe.

A long length lightweight coat or cardigan (a coatigan?) is the perfect way to navigate the notoriously tricky between-seasons time of year. But if you want to recreate Kris' look for a lot less, we've found plenty of Balmain-esque options for you on the virtual high street. Topshop's maxi cardigan is top of our list!

Chiara, who blogs at The Blonde Salad, has published a fashion book and is a spokesperson for clothing brand Guess, completed her statement look with a black hat and studded ankle boots. 

The style icon's strawberry blonde-coloured locks were tousled into glamorous waves while a slick of Sixties-style eyeliner and a pale pink lip completed her elegant look. 

Kris later appeared to laugh off the fashion faux pas as she was pictured smiling for photographers with pal Jada Pinkett Smith inside the show.

Chiara was spotted sitting with fellow bloggers Brazilian Helena Bordon and Kristina Bazan, who also stepped out in a red and black striped number. 

Kris wasn't the only Jenner in attendance as her daughter Kendall Jenner strutted her stuff on the runway.

The 19-year-old looked typically gorgeous in a series of stylish ensembles, one of which was a risqué white dress which featured multiple cut-outs.

The teen also sported a daring brown jumpsuit which featured a sheer mesh fabric around the sides of the legs and around the torso, which had been accentuated with a tan leather belt.  

Kris has a vested interest seeing as her daughter Kendall will be modelling for a series of shows.

She has been pictured heading out for fashion fittings at high-end brand Balmain and shopping with her pals Gigi Hadid and Hailey Baldwin.
