She looks great in her strapless Vera (note, the lack of full-length images…People mag has the exclusive for a September issue) but somehow I’m not getting these two as a couple. He just seems too young and Wonder Bread for her.
Took the subway into the City this morning with Samia to chat sneakers with someone from a certain powerhouse brand and Samia mentioned on the train that the fashion internets were somewhat freaking about Kim wearing the above cutout Gucci dress, which is from the label’s Spring 2011 collection. It’s been worn not just by her, but by a bunch of other celebs and has landed some covers, too.
When I got home, indeed, her look was getting a lot of mentions. And I’ll be honest, like anyone else I suffer from Kardashian fatigue from time to time, but I always appreciate how these girls continue to bump up against the rules of what’s supposedly appropriate in fashion. So keep doing your thing, Ms. Kardashian, and fill out every inch of that outfit and look very damn sexy doing so.
Here’s a look at our faves from last night’s Grammy awards. Images include both red carpet–which was all about the gown with train, and performance looks. Featured celebs include Rihanna (above wearing Dior), Heidi Klum (Julien McDonald), Katy Perry (Giorgio Armani), Kim Kardashian (Kaufman Franco), Jennifer Lopez (Pucci), Nicki Minaj (Givenchy), Ciara (Pucci)….you know, all the usuals plus a few others.
Kim Kardashian is on the cover of March Bazaar magazine, a place where her outsized personality and look really seems to flourish. In a fun match up of vavoomy brunettes, Kardashian interviews Elizabeth Taylor as part of her feature. See Kim as “Kleopatra” on the next page.
Kim Kardashian is burning up the web with her newest hairstyle, but new braids or not, she’s still working her Birken bag, whose status among celebrities has been on a non-stop rise this year. Like the reality tv game they play or not, the Kardashians represent a new Amercian beauty standard…yep, still based on fantasy and impossible for most to achieve but somehow warmer, funner and more inclusive than those of years past. Will the fashion industry play catch up in the year 2011? Looking at the models chosen to walk the runways by leaders like Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, one can’t help but be hopeful.
The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awards took place last night with menswear designer Billy Reid the winner. The red carpet was the most interesting part and as always we’ve highlighted our faves. On this page we have a ying and yang situation with the Olsen twins on one side, decked as they often are as of late in lots of fur and Chanel Iman on the other side, looking summery and still working her super tight, post Victoria’s Secret runway bod. On the next page Kim Kardashian, Keri Hilson, Christina Ricci, Blake Lively, Carey Mulligan, Diane Von Furstenberg and Tory Burch who came with her sweetie, Lyor Cohen (which I have a hard time wrapping my head around but okay).
A blonde Kim Kardashian is featured in an ad for Kardashian’s “Beach Bunny” swimwear line. As much as I watch this family’s shows, it’s apparently not enough because I hadn’t heard a thing about them launching a bikini line! Via Styleist.
Kim Kardashian’s screen test for W magazine. No, she’s not naked. Mostly she sits and chats about her vision of being a housewife as a girl, playing make believe fashion assistant with older sister Kourtney and her desire to be on “Real World.” Via Thecut.
At Kim Kardashian’s blog, she breaks down her love for menswear and features herself wearing a Michelle Mason (above) vest that she’s particularly fond of. I like menswear, too, but to be honest, I don’t think this look works for everyone. Kim is small and with her super-womanly boobies this proportion works for her. For a tall, practically ta-ta-less person like myself, this vest would make me look masculine and I don’t know, just weird. Conversely, my legs are long so I could work men’s pants all.day.long, which might be a tougher look for Kim to pull off. So it goes, ya work with what god gave ya.
On another note, I haven’t tuned in to the new episodes of “Keeping up with the Kardashian’s,” but the recaps the girls do on her blog are pretty funny and there’s plenty of talk about their fashion choices, including a crack from Khloe on how her dress looks like it’s from Forever21!
Yes, people, this is a gratuitous shot of KimK for no other reason than we’re fond of her around these parts. Well, wait. Given that we like her in general, the thing that’s kind of cool about this shot is that she’s wearing little-to-no-makeup, which is rare for her. Either way as you can see she’s still smoking hot. And can you imagine being a guy in a gym trying to workout next to her with that top she’s wearing?? Reggie better have kept his game face on the whole time he was in that gym, otherwise Mami be creating all sorts of havoc!
