Sabrina Carpenter fronts 90s-inspired Skims campaign

Kim Kardashian 's shapewear brand Skims is issuing full refunds or store credits after customers complained about a $148 advent calendar.

Customers expressed anger over the calendar's contents, which consisted of cheap accessories like hair ties, loose bra straps, keychains, and bobby pins.

The product sparked viral outrage on TikTok, where an unboxing video garnered over 8.1 million likes as users criticized the item's lack of value.

A Skims representative acknowledged that the calendar did not meet expectations and confirmed that all affected buyers have been contacted personally.

Founded in 2019, Skims has previously generated backlash for other unusual product releases, including a nipple bra and a faux pubic hair thong.
