Can you keep up with Kim Kardashian’s rare archival wardrobe?

Halloween might be over, but the “All’s Fair” actress is still dressing the part as she promotes the second season of her Hulu show. The latest? An ultra-rare high-fashion nurse outfit.

Among a carousel of images of Kardashian sporting a rare crocodile Hermès jacket, her Ashi Studio lace corset dress and more, the Calabasas native posed in the ultra-rare look from a Marc Jacobs-designed 2008 Louis Vuitton collection.

The look, from the design house’s spring 2008 show, was sourced by stylist Law Roach from MJ-era Vuitton archivist Lauren Pyes. luxurylaw/Instagram

She models a sheer organza dress with buttons down the front to mimic a lab coat over a yellow slip dress, accessorized with white tights, peep-toe pumps and a sheer Louis Vuitton monogram mask over her face.

On her head was a white nurse’s cap, which stylist Law Roach had made specifically for the Skims founder, care of legendary milliner Stephen Jones, who created the originals.

She finished off the look with a colorful logo bag under one arm.

Roach borrowed from the collection of Harvard University employee Lauren Pyes, whose archive of Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton is largely unmatched by everyday collectors.

“It is beyond my wildest dreams that *the* arbiter of style, fashion, and pop culture, Law Roach would reach out to me to architect such an epic moment, and I can never thank you and Yvonne enough,” Pyes wrote on Instagram along with the images of Kardashian in her look.

“Kim, thank you for what you do to push the conversation about fashion and pop culture forward,” continued Pyers on her post. “Among the many things I admire about you is your reverence for fashion history and how you bring it alive while making it distinctly *you*.”

While it’s unclear whether Kardashian’s “All’s Fair” character, attorney Allura Grant, dips her toes into the world of health care, one thing that’s certain is the look comes with a lot of fashion history.
