When fashion goes wrong! Kim K in Balmain

I saw this yesterday. kim kardashian wearing a balmain dress that is clearly longer than it should be. It looks like the man her and kanye is with said 'oh it's just round the corner - let's walk' But she can't walk in it! She's taking about four steps for every one one of kanye's!

It made me Grin & I think she knows she looks silly. Certainly not a frock for a stroll around Paris Smile

Was a bit Shock at the bit where the other man tries to help Kim across the road and kanye shoots him a look! Or is it me??

She does look a bit daft! Pretty self conscious too I thought which surprised me.

Oh I would absolutely hate to be in the public eye like that, not able to walk down the street in a daft dress without being papped...

She looks like a tank that dress. Hideous.

I love her figure but she really does epitomise the phrase 'fashion victim' doesn't she?

I don't get it, was it a walking advert for Balmain. The dress is fugly btw. Can't imagine any shape of woman that would look good in it.

Things I have observed from that video

-Paris is lovely
-KK never wears anything that flatters her shape
-Kanye still seems like a prat
-What a kerfuffle going for a walk would appear to be when one is famous.

He looks like he's walking a toddler with her going so slowly.

I really don't get her arse. I know she's a pear shape, but it seems so unfeasbily large. wtf is that all about?

Apparently her curvier than curvacious bum is courtesy of some form of injections. It certainly isn't natural no matter what she says.

But why Squoosh, why? Surely no woman wants a bigger than it should be bum.

I don't think there is one part of her body which is still natural.
I don't get it

Ah, that's nice that Kim has decided to become a Pearly Queen.

She'll fit right in.

LOL at pearly queen! The dress is really unpleasant. Looks like something I'd have bought from the market in 1987. Agree with WildThong that I can't imagine how any woman would look good in it.

man in comfy practical clothes.
woman teetering along in duck-walk heels and dress that stops her walking properly. Shoes so awful she has to look down to watch for every lump in the pavement - or is it just shame?

yes, that century-long fight for equality has really been worthwhile...

Blimey.

That's 3.5 minutes I won't get back Grin

But yeah, why make your ass any bigger? I am trying drastically to slim mine down- not pump it up. Must be comfy though, to sit down on.

I don't understand about her arse either, I hate my big arse, hers, though shapely is massive it must make fitting clothes a nightmare. Why on earth would you want it to look like that???

I saw a picture of Khloe today she seems to have increased in the bum area too, why do they want big bums? Confused

squoosh · 17/04/2014 16:12

I think curvy bums have become more desirable since the advent of J-Lo and other black and hispanic stars. And that's great to celebrate other body shapes.


But........she just looks fake and cartoonish. She reminds me of that woman, Lola something?, with the enormous boobs who used to appear on EuroTrash with JP Gaultier.

I think she looks terrible in most things although have only seen her in mags not really the show. Is her posterior real?

GiddyUpCowboy · 17/04/2014 16:14

I watched a show and they had an x-ray of Kim's bum, there were no implants visible.

It's done by injection. If you look at the 2006 photo above you can see it's nowhere near its current proportions.

I read somewhere that she had the fat removed from her thighs and injected into her arse. Confused
I have an arse like that, a combination of naturally being pear shaped and doing umpteen squats a day. Kimmy k has absolutely no muscle tone so clearly didn't achieve that arse by sweating for it!

Yes Lolo Ferrari, died in mysterious circumstances it seems.

Poor Lolo Ferrari. She was only 37 when she died and her life seemed so very sad.

KK dress looks like it's made from my Nan's table cloth and is incredibly unflattering. Regardless of any other opinion I may have Kim works hard to achieve her shape and is attractive - why chuck all those hours of gym, diet, hair and make up down the drain to wear something that makes you look like a rugby player and walk like a duck - it seems a certain stereotype of femininity is important to her & on that basis she makes some very odd choices! I suppose the thousands of dollars for doing it take the edge off a bit.

I thought the latest relationship won't last longer than the honeymoon stage, controlling guy she was seeing picked out all her clothes now.

Ohbyethen · 17/04/2014 16:46

I say works hard to achieve her shape - what I have mostly seen are headline shots and comments about her going to the gym, I think I just assumed she was there lots. She must certainly spend time on hair, make up and nails I would have thought.
I see most of her pictures here actually because irl I don't get the chance to have a really good trash tv / magazine binge very often.
