HauteLeMode's Academy Gala sequel: "kim confuses me"
Kim Kardashian's Balenciaga look follows Taylor Swift's Dior turn in a two-part red-carpet review, as daily channel views climb sharply.
Why this story? The whole channel is running at 1,133,436 views a day, 7.6 times a normal day (149,262).
Taylor Swift gets the title billing in the first installment; Kim Kardashian takes it in the second. HauteLeMode has split its Academy Gala fashion review across two uploads, with the sequel arriving under the title "ACADEMY GALA 2026 FASHION ROAST PART 2 (kim confuses me)".
The designer credits give a sense of the range: Alexa Demie in Chanel, Colman Domingo in Valentino and Boucheron, Pamela Anderson in Carolina Herrera, and Kardashian in Balenciaga. Each installment finishes with a best-and-worst selection. Part two's description also carries a Quince promotion.
Alongside those uploads, HauteLeMode added about 1.1 million views in a day, nearly eight times its usual daily pace. That is a channel-wide rise, not the viewing total for either gala review. Recent Shorts about the gala, Taylor Swift and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show are also on the channel's shelf.
Red-carpet roasts are familiar territory here: several Met Gala reviews remain among HauteLeMode's most-watched regular videos. The Academy Gala treatment follows that same extended format, giving Swift's Dior and Chopard look a dedicated section in part one before moving through another roster of celebrities in the sequel.
