Kim Kardashian linked up with her family for her 46th birthday.

The Skims founder doubled down on chainmail for a Wednesday night dinner at Baldi at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills.

Her new stylist, Law Roach, pulled a pair of coordinating mini caftans from Paco Rabanne’s haute couture fall 1996 couture collection, starting with an emerald green metal mesh and its matching bejeweled headpiece. The dress plunged low in front, and a center slit flashed her black underwear.

She finished the first look with black stiletto mule sandals by Paris Texas ($745).

Once inside, the reality star changed into a blood-red version of the design, accessorized the way it appeared on the runway 30 years ago: with a red beaded headpiece and a matching oversized cross necklace. Both caftans featured batwing sleeves and crystal embellishments.

Mom Kris Jenner, sisters Kylie Jenner, Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian, and brother Rob Kardashian all turned out for the occasion.

It’s her second round of birthday candles this month. Kardashian rang in 46 early on a trip to the Philippines with boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, celebrating at an oceanside dinner in a Mark Fast macramé top made of little more than strings.

Her latest archival pick has a personal connection. Longtime pal Olivier Rousteing was named creative director of Rabanne in July, and he will show his first collection for the house in March. In fact, the brand shared that the designer helped select Kardashian’s two sparkling looks.

Kardashian was a fixture at Balmain during Rousteing’s 14-year tenure at the helm, posing for a campaign with then-husband Kanye West in 2014 and wearing the label to the 2016 Met Gala.

She even joked on “The Kardashians” that the designer might “have a little something to do” with daughter North’s existence, since she wore a royal blue Balmain gown the night she conceived her in 2012.
