Kim Kardashian’s latest SKIMS product, the viral Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap, made headlines this week, thanks in no small part to Sir Anthony Hopkins’ playful nod as Hannibal Lecter. Hopkins, who famously played the character in the 1991 film “The Silence of the Lambs,” wore the face wrap in an iconic video. He dramatically embraced his Lecter persona, directly addressing Kardashian in the short clip.
Anthony Hopkins sends a message to Kim Kardashian wearing SKIMS face wrap
There was no better promotion of Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS face wrap than Sir Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of Hannibal Lecter. Hopkins wore the product, addressing Kardashian with “Hello, Kim.” With crossed arms, he continued, “I am already feeling ten years younger,” before making a peculiar sound particular to Lecter. He closed with “Goodbye!” drawing attention with his iconic theatrical performance.
Kardashian reacted to the video on her Instagram story. She reposted Hopkins’ reel and wrote, “I’M SCREAMING!!!!!” Tagging both Hopkins and SKIMS, Kardashian signaled appreciation and surprise at the exchange. Fans quickly noticed that Kardashian’s new product resembled the infamous bite restraint mask Hopkins’ character wore in the 1991 film. The parallel amused viewers, and Hopkins’ caption fueled it further, “Thank you, Kim. Don’t be afraid to come over for dinner.”
The SKIMS Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap proved to be a runaway success. It sold out within hours of its July 29 debut, prompting the brand to invite customers to join a waitlist for restock notifications. SKIMS described the wrap as a “must-have addition to your nightly routine.” The brand also confirmed it was crafted from the brand’s signature fabric, with collagen yarns for “ultra-soft jaw support.”
The viral moment between Sir Anthony Hopkins and Kim Kardashian fueled immediate reaction and excitement among fans who saw the two worlds collide. Besides the SKIMS product launch, the interaction brought together pop culture fans for a moment of amusement, nostalgia for the classic film, and the world of fashion, in the most unexpected way.
