If the Moulin Rouge had been a rodeo...

Like, this is just absurd. I HOPE Kris Jenner wears this. She will look like a tragic clown. More than usual.

I hope Kylie Jenner wears this while vanquishing Tyga. By which I mean actually defeating him at life and then moving onto a more... non-Tyga companion.

I often think a lot of people turn out to look great with darker hair colors, but Rosie HW should stay blond forever. Also, this shot gives you a valuable glimpse at both of these absurdities. I really do feel like Balmain is for an extremely expensive, elite circus. Like "The Night Circus" except without its artistic pride.

The ringmaster of said circus will enjoy having so many different color palettes from which to choose.

Someone will step up and into this. Cara Delevingne, or something. Although she would prefer the pants to be see-through.

Those leggings are serving up some serious day-old polterwang.

COME ON. Nobody is serious about this here. Right? This is a smoking turd that is trying to catch fire from its own ashes.

Let us all pause to admit that this jacket is fairly sumptuous. Kim will wear it, assuming she doesn't make them give her a full-length one, because Kim -- if nothing else -- does have great taste in luxe coats.

Fembot Carhop. Which, by the way, sounds like a very feasible pilot candidate for FOX next season.

I quite like that fabric as pants, though. That model should not be so miserable. She got off easy compared to the rest of these women.

I mean, look at this. Don't be silly, House of Balmain. You're not supposed to be a comedy.

Hooray, I can own this in more than just one color!

Interesting that most of the name models switched hair colors with each other, but Joan Smalls kept hers. Maybe she refused, and got punished with those leggings. Or maybe Olivier Rousteing didn't ask her. Who knows. I mean, presumably aside from her.

This also has Kim written all over it. She would LOVE how Neutral Bullfighter this looks.

Get ready! Planet Kardashia will not be able to resist, assuming Ciara doesn't steal it first.

It's almost funny -- tragicomic, more like -- how much Rousteing is designing to their strengths. This feels like he's trying to turn into Givenchy.

What IS the shape that this is giving her pelvis? It's like... it's giving her groin buttocks.

That's So Kim, coming soon to a fashion blog near you.

I feel it's possible this model's legs are exactly as long as my entire body. Also, Khloe would look totally, totally disco in this, in a way that I think she would LOVE.

When this is not the worst thing out there...

PANTS WHAT?

Poor Kendall wore some of these already, but I'm sure she's expected to take seven others home in her bag, and this might well be one of them.

In case you ever wanted a dress that looked like a rabbit's foot collection.

Joan Smalls totally got off easy here, and for that I am glad.

Oh, boy. I think I used that same material to make the feet for my Red Fraggle costume.

The shape that these skirts give just looks positively excruciating.

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad. Kourtney will get stuck with it.

I mean, at least this fabric is pretty?

This is also not terrible. Balmain: wringing ALL the hearty compliments out of me today.

I could live with this, if it were required of me. The dress, that is. The bootaloons are just goofy.

This is at least arresting. It's see-through, yes, and it's 80s on top. But it'll do. Taylor Swift actually would wear this, if she ever sneezed in Balmain's direction (I don't think she would ever go there, now that it's SO yoked to the Kards, who are way way off-brand for Taylor).

Please don't let Kim see this. It's unkind.

Well, hell. She's going to see it now because Kendall got one too. This is very Kardashian of the Kave Bear.
