When Kim Kardashian was in Paris on Monday, she and Kanye stopped by Balmain during their whirlwind shopping trip/wedding venue hunt. Kim has been wearing some Balmain stuff lately, although we mostly take note when she’s wearing something especially hideous from Givenchy (Riccardo Tisci is such a passive-aggressive bitch). The black velvet outfit that Kim wore around Paris was Balmain (but that tacky gold belt was Judith Leiber, a name which Kim misspelled on her IG).
Anyway, as it turns out, Kim is tight with Olivier Rousteing, the creative director of the House of Balmain. He went with her to the darling little French chateau which she and Kanye might use as a wedding venue. And not only that, but Kim and Olivier spent some time in some kind of aquarium-porium (fishporium?) where they took a bunch of photos. Olivier posted the photos to HIS Instagram. Which means he’s down with Kanye and Kim. The Vogue cover is working, people. Olivier even called Kim his “morning mermaid”. Barf.
So, will Kim wear Balmain for the wedding? I really don’t think Balmain is an option. I think she HAS to wear Givenchy. Riccardo Tisci was one of the first designers to really befriend Kim when she first got with Kanye, and Riccardo and Kanye really are so tight. It has to be Givenchy, right?

I wonder how much Kris payed Kim to carve her face into her likeness.
She promised to give her back her soul.
Call Kim will forever and always be a pee target.
She ruined her face for good. She is not pretty anymore in my eyes. Google Kim in 2009-2010. What a difference.
Yup. She ruined her nose by making it too short, I think it was after Nori was born.
Now it’s too far between her nose and her upper lip and she’s not as pretty as she was. Stupid girl.
She looked gorgeous at the time she married Kris H. Her nose was longer and it made her face look beautiful. Now not so much 🙁
Kim is ugly AF.
Kim Kardashian and the word “creative” in the same sentence.
Impossible
And yet he wasn’t able to knock some fashion sense into her empty head!
I think that belt is somewhere posting, “that tacky woman wearing me is Kim Kardashian.”
I think this is horrible of me to say. In fact I know it’s horrible but I can’t help it.
But this girl needs to know her place. And her place is reality television. She will never look good in high fashion because she just can’t pull it off. She is tacky. She is talented at being a famewhore.
I feel like those fashion people are just trolling her or just doing it because they like Kanye.
I also hope none of Kanye Wests friends turn up to this wedding.
@Kiddo, where are you? Someone is trying to be nice! 😉
It’s okay, Lizzie, I feel the same way sometimes criticizing and judging celebrities, but you nailed it. She’s never ever going to be anything but a (censor censor). Ever.
Wow…good post Lizzie! I said something similar and my post was removed. I don’t get being censored for simply calling someone a little hobbit who brings nothing of worth to the world.
thing is: she KNOWS her place. That is why she comes across as so self-conscious and extremely insecure. She’s so serious when she’s in Paris, because she’s so aware of herself. She tries with all her might to be high fashion and interesting, she just can’t relax because she’s so afraid to be her true, simple self. It kind of reminds me of Victoria Beckham a little.
She doesn’t have the body or height for high fashion. She just can’t wear those clothes the way they were intended to be worn.
Your comment isn’t horrible–sometimes the truth hurts.
@Lizzie-I don’t think what you said was horrible. It was just true. The best I have seen her look was in that blazer & v-neck top with her hair up. If she dressed for her bodytype, it would help. But all that is moot as she has RUINED her original exotic beauty by having so much plastic surgery.
Horrible? Honestly it’s well said.
Kim is really morphing into Kris Jenner.
Same plastic surgeon doctor!
How much did the cloning machine cost and was it sponsored by E!?
I suspect they might actually be the same person.
“Kim Kardashian spent a lot of time with Balmain’s creative director in Paris”
I guess that sounds better than Kim took another picture of herself.
That is funny!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’m actually curious to see what she’ll wear, if for no other reason than to laugh at it. Somehow I don’t think it’s going to be an understated masterpiece.
I’m sure whatever kind of monstrosity it is, we as peasants just won’t “get” it because we aren’t high fashion.
i know i may be in the minority here but looking past the TACKY fashion; these are some pretty cool pics in a interesting venue. fishpourim LOL.
The photos themselves look like something you can achieve with vscocam to me but the location is pretty cool.
Fishporium, fishlips………..
Besides the wedding, why is Kayne and PMK working so hard to keep Kim in the public eye? The Vogue cover and now this? Ten bucks says we shall soon see a reality show featuring Kim and Kayne with special guest Nori.
For those who think Kayne would not go for this, just look at how much he has changed since Kim and him got together to now.
Whatever PMK is putting in his orange juice must be working
Seems like they have some sort of deal going. Kanye gets to dress Kim and tell her what to do and how to do it, while Kim gets to publicize everything and also have her wedding televised (something Kanye would never do a few years ago). She also gets to go to Paris and take pics with all of Kanye’s “high fashion” people. I guess for Kim, it’s a win-win situation, but how long can this go on for?
It’s just too bad that their daughter is not included in this
“deal”! It seems everyone has forgotten about poor North!
Maybe North is part of the deal. Kim’s financially taken care of for at least 18 years !
Yes and when they break up, the script will be “Kanye Was Too Controlling!!!”
Just you wait.
@ Hunter
Of course they will paint Kanye out to be a monster. They are already watering the seeds they planted…it’s like the story was written before Kim and Kanye even started dating. Who will be next after Kanye? I think she’ll try to steal Reggie back…lol that will be hilarious. Kanye will have a mental breakdown, then get super depressed, then get super angry, and then comes his best album Of All Time. He will spill all their secrets and it will be magical.
@IDK
Check out the blind on Blind Gossip -Doing the dirty I think it’s called.
Rumoured to be KK- still boning Reggie and already plotting to get rid of Kanye!!
The aquarium pic was taken inside the chateau–its one of its main features, the “aquarium room.”
its gorgeous there.
Oh no – how dare she taint Balmain! Ohhhhhhh this really burns me.
I know, it sickens me. *sigh*
I would love to know what the Balmain creative director had to say after spending time with Kim. I’m guessing a lot of alcohol was needed for the recovery from being with the squatty-body famewhore.
Eh… I also think she’s morphing into Lucifer’s BFF but hey, she tried to morph into Beyoncé and it didn’t work so back to mama K…
Anyway i guess the photos are ok, the guy is quite young and somewhat of a cutie…
Hope someone decent designs her wedding dress and PLEASE no sheer with lace insets in “strategic” places because there aren’t many things more FUG and for some reason more on trend than that…
Weird.
Noooooo Olivier whyyyyyy
She’s quoted as saying she’s channeling Audrey Hepburn while in Miami. AUDREY HEPBURN. AUDREY HEPBURN You’ve got to be kidding me. *flames. flames on the side of my face*
I know. That’s an insult to Audrey’s memory!!! Audrey did not become famous for being on her back.
Did you see the pictures?They are in the Daily Mail.She is riding a bike with some fake clip on bangs and photoshopped to death to look slim.I was like I have seen it all now.
I think Kim is being punked, and these “creative” types will keep doing it until she says no more! Doing an Audrey Hepburn look alike comercial has already been done twice recently. Kimmie should have just said no, but we all know she won’t do that…
I saw the photos on daily mail also. Sickening. There aren’t enough “as ifs” in the world.
Saw those photos yesterday, which are only further proof of her delusion. To have Audrey Hepburn and this mess mentioned in the same sentence, no just no.
Leave Audrey alone Kim!!!
Well, in fairness… Kim does have a funny face. But not a sunny, funny face 😉
I fell over at this. My favorite comment of the day! 🙂
@ L: Clue!!!
All I see when I look at her is a shallow, vapid, plastic person. I do not get her appeal.
Omg, in the second pic Kim looks almost human instead of cat-faced. I think all the work she had done is finally settling at least a little.
Which means she’s due for some more. That’s how PMK rolls. She’ll tell Kim a joke (“Khloe would totally be famous even if it weren’t for you and your sex tape!” And they laugh and laugh and laugh) and if Kim’s face can form some kind of human expression she falls through a trapdoor to Kris’ subterranean OR with her plastic surgeon chained to the wall on a leash.
Aw, look at PMK, hovering in the background of that last photo (no offense to sharks).
LOVE this comment!!!! I wish someone would shop her into the tank, swimming with it!!!!
😆 😆 😆
Call me negative, but…. Why don’t we just skip the wedding and get to the divorce that we know will happen……..
All in good time……. But when it happens, which it will, it will be EPIC! I’m laying out my stretchy sweatpants and getting my popcorn bowl ready because that is going to be the best show EVER!
Ewww….so true! I can just see PMK taking notes on every nasty thing he has ever said to her and making sure that he pays for each one! It is turning out that Kanye West is not as smart as he thinks he is and these women will end up destroying him. Just wait. Poor North.
Another bid for respectability.
The black dress with the gold belt just screams ”springtime in Paris”.
Lol! Totally!
*Okay…..Is it just me…..Or does she actually look like she’s aging? It’s only shocking to me because of all the stuff you know she injects…..But she seriously looks older to me lately.
What’s going on in that second pic? Is that an actual spider between her eyebrow and eyelashes?
Why was that not photoshopped out?
Lastly, I so WISH she got photobombed by a fish doing a fish lips pose.
I saw that too! I think it’s her lash extensions shifting out of place or becoming unglued. I have had them before and mine did that, too.
SURELY someone with some photoshopping skills can make the fish lips photobomb happen 🙂
Hahahaha ~ They could use that nasty pic of her at her swimming pool!!
Another day and another Kim K post and it isn’t even my birthday.
She looks around 50 now.
That Karfashian style though !
It’s all a matter of attitude. If you think she’s trying to wear high fashion – you’re aghast. So stop thinking high fashion and start thinking Dr. Seuss. See? All better.
Little Kiki trying to look even quasi Parisian just goes to show she needs to count her lucky stars she made her plea for fame in the US instead of Europe. With her figure she couldn’t have even made it as a UK Page 3 girl.
She just looks so frumpy in anything that doesn’t flash her arse or t*ts.
If only Kim would devote the same amount of time to her daughter as she does to achieve this “fashion icon” status…
It’s sad that Kim has said that being on the cover of Vouge was a dream come true…I would think being the Mother of a beautiful little girl would be a dream come true…..again, sad…..
She’s probably got a balmain dress lined up for the reception and giving Tisci the actual wedding gown.
Having just recovered from my laughing fit….
WHAT is going on with those pictures? I mean, I thought bridal ones – you know, close-ups of the cake, and the bowls of fruit, and the hand with the ring on it, and the hand with the ring on it holding the groom’s hand, and the bride looking at herself in the mirror, etc. etc. – couldn’t be any funnier. But these? Bridal-like posing in front of an aquarium? Comedy gold.
Also, where’s the kid?
Awww she’s so cute when she tries to make a facial expression!
*snigger*
I wonder if she will lay off the botox & fillers for a bit so she’ll be able to attempt an actual smile at her wedding.
i love Amber’s conspicuous silence, btw.
Who’s amber? Are you talking about Amber Rose?
yes – yes…. i keep waitin……… but Amber’s a class act….
i cant help but wonder (and also feel for her), because this over-the-top nonsense about the Kimye love affair has got to sting – alot – since Amber was with him the entire time he was hatching a plan to go after KK.
Amber has a baby now and is married to Wiz. I’m sure she’s happy NOT to be with Kanye. Wait until Kim divorces Kanye, no one will envy that situation.
Everytime I see pics of Kim trying to act all “high fashion” it just comes off as a silly SNL skit. Like it’s a joke and can’t be taken seriously.
What is considered “a lot of time” – 1 hour, 4 hours, enough time to take the photos and leave? I would think that if he is designing her outfit that they would have met in the office in order to look at sketches. Think this is just another ploy to make her look important in the fashion world.
WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO HER FACE?
GAH! It looks so hard.
i wonder if she’ll get a midriff wedding dress!
ha !
OH YA… I forgot she even has a baby!!!!!!wow that’s pretty bad!
LOL yeah I keep forgetting she has a baby too.
I think little Nori is quite gorgeous and quite the scene-stealer, too (in the Vogue pic with Nori lying on top of Dad and Mom’s hand is covering her tush). I’d much rather see Nori than either of them, too. It’s actually better that Nori is home and not being brought out as a PR stunt for her parents. I’m sure she has wonderful care-givers at home, too.
Kim will be so irrelevant in the next couple of years. It’s all cute to leave North West in her crib, but when she starts gaining more awareness and starts speaking in sentences, it’s over. You can’t abandon your child at that age. Those ages are incredibly vital for a parent to be with their kid as much as they can.
Hahahaha hahahaha
HEY GUYS… DO YOU LIKE FISHSTICKS?
PLEASE TELL ME THERE WILL BE A GAY FISH WEDDING hahaha
OR IS THIS KANYE’S OWN UNDERWATER KINGDOM?!??
SMDH THESE TRICKS STILL DON’T HAVE A CLUE, DO THEY?
Strange fuzz on the right eyebrow of Kim in the top photo? Odd
She can look like totally different people depending on the angles of each photo too.
