Kim Kardashian in Ralph & Russo at the GQ UK event: budget or sexy?

FFN_FLYUK_West_KardHotel_090214_51518274

The GQ UK Men of the Year Awards were held last night in London and we have so many good/interesting photos from the event. This post is just about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. This is the reason why Kanye and Kim flew to London yesterday – I covered those photos, with Doc Martens-clad North West. Kim and Kanye appeared at this event because Kim won GQ UK’s “Woman of the Year” gong.

I’m assuming Kanye dressed Kim. Just because that seems to be their M.O. and Kanye does treat Kim like she’s his very special (sex) doll. It’s all very My Fair Lady. So, Kanye told Kim to wear this Ralph & Russo gown which… eh. I never know what to think of Ralph & Russo as a label. The designs can veer into “matronly” but sometimes their churn out some old-school glam. This is neither. This just looks like a drowsy hooker wanted to wear something sparkly. Apparently, this isn’t technically a dress – Kim paired a leather bodysuit with a glittery skirt. Was that the designer’s intention? Eh. Anyway, there’s too much fabric and heaviness being added to Kim’s mid-section which (guess what?) adds weight.

Kim also “cut” her hair recently. I’m using sarcastic quotes because I think she just took out some of her extensions, but for what it’s worth… I like this length on her. I also like that she’s trying out some volume and wavy bedhead styles rather than that dated, pin-straight, center-part hair she usually does.

Oh, and Kim posted an Instagram photo of the place settings for her table at this event. She and Kanye were seated with Sam Smith (poor, poor Sam Smith!!), Lewis Hamilton, Jonah Hill (!!!) and Pharrell Williams. Pray for all of them, because you know Kanye was dropping some Yeezus truth-bombs on all of them.

PS… I LOVE the photo of Kanye fixing her skirt. Hand to God, I love it.

    Everyone is on acid: everywhere, every day. Tony Blair? Kim?
    🙁

  2. LadyMTL says:

    I honestly burst out laughing. What else needs to be said? 😀

    • Ellen says:

      Ditto. Wonder Woman meets Teflon drag queen.

    • MCraw says:

      Kanye’s smiling!

      That skirt fixing is sweet.

      That’s all I got.

      • Denise says:

        Show me where, I can’t see any smiles in any of the pics! As for the skirt, unfortunately I’m pretty sure he’s just protecting his image. Can’t have a flaw on the doll that represents him.

    • I did too! I was all…Oh my GAWD! It’s getting WORSE! Honestly, this girl is on crack! To call this look budget would be an insult to all of the truly budget shoppers out there who actually know what looks good on them. It’s like a chain mail mermaid costume with a leather bustier. GROSS. If I were a designer I would run for the hills if I saw her coming!

  3. don't kill me i'm french says:

    It’s unflattering at a point that it’s even ridiculous

    • SpookySpooks says:

      It’s so awful! Even her hair and makeup are bad.

      Why poor Sam Smith? Aren’t Kim and Sam friends?

    • Petee says:

      There are more pictures on the DM.I can’t believe Kim won Woman Of The Year.I wonder how much they paid for that.And her dress!Her body looks even weirder then usual.She looks like a vase.Kim please get that stuff taken out already.We know it is fake, so do yourself a favor and remove it.The butt was bad enough.Now her hips are so wide it is comical.

      • Bonfire Beach says:

        “She looks like a vase” – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

      • Steph says:

        I know….I heard that and it made me physically ill….I still have a headache. Kim Kardashian,the porn queen is Woman of the Year?! The end of the civilized world is coming to an end. If I had a subscription to GQ,I would end it ……and Tony Blair for philanthropy? Give me a break!!

    • Mia V. says:

      She should’ve ditched the skirt and kept the bodysuit.

    • Anne tommy says:

      Trashy trashy trashy…

    • Belle Epoch says:

      It would take until next Tuesday to list all the horrible things about this outfit. I’m really curious what goes on mentally with her. How can she POSSIBLY think any aspect of this “ensemble” works on any level? What does she see when she looks in the mirror? This is a bit like super-sized Ursula from the Little Mermaid, rising cackling from the ocean.

  4. teatimeiscoming says:

    oh, my eyes

  5. Snappyfish says:

    It’s ridiculous. Horrible. I don’t think anyone could have pulled off this look.

  6. lisa2 says:

    Just saw the September issue cover for GQ.. Kim is their Woman of the Year.. the spread inside looks more like Playboy to me. But I don’t usually look at the pictures on or in GQ so maybe that is how they all are now.

    • dorothy says:

      She did Playboy? So GQ got sloppy seconds? As did Kanye, after the first marriage, Reggie Bush and Kris Humphries.

  7. Brin says:

    That is katastrophic.

    • Chris says:

      I take it that this ‘Ralph and Russo’ are those glam, orange-complected tiger-trainers of yore, now working in ladies’ modes. That, or wire fencing for tiger-owners.

  8. Melissa says:

    Holy mother of mercy, she is just f**king with us right? No one…no one could think this was chic, well fitting or figure flattering. If she does, she needs to be on medication and buy some dollar store glasses…..

  9. Charlotte says:

    Formal nipple shields?

  10. Tracy says:

    This may be her worst outfit yet.

    And then there is that face…

  11. Tanguerita says:

    this dress is ridiculous. She looks like a stranded whale thinking himself a mermaid.

  12. Lilacflowers says:

    That’s an outfit a four year old would assemble, if a four year old had access to a dominatrix’s closet and a tablecloth.

  13. Jag says:

    She’s reaching for his hand and he can’t be bothered. Thank you for posting these Kim pictures because they always give me such a great laugh. Her hair looks good, but whatever she’s wearing is horrendous. lol

    • MonicaQ says:

      But you better believe he has time to fix her skirt. True love.

    • CharmmyKitty says:

      There are actually a lot of cute pics of them laughing together at this event. Not sure why they aren’t on CB.

      • Gypsy says:

        I saw them too but, you can’t show them because that wouldn’t tell the story and maintain the anger.
        The story is Kanye never laughs
        The story is Kim and Kanye are a miserable couple on the road to divorce.
        Without the story you would only confuse people and lose the present and future narrative.

      • Bob Loblaw says:

        I hope they do laugh together, they seem like a miserable pair of narcissists, it would be nice to think they’re not as horrible as they appear through their every word and action.

  14. Eleonor says:

    This is better than the Kanye vma parody.

  15. Jen2 says:

    These ‘awards” just got totally discounted. What the dukes was the criteria if KK was woman of the year. What exactly has she done that makes her that special. The mix of people was just too bizarre for me and did the invite say “clothing optional”. Colin Firth and his wife (and the real stars) looked so out of place with all the oddballs who must have been there for publicity. Who on earth decided who won. I don’t even think that acid would be enough for those choices.

    • Meow says:

      Mumsy. Matronly. Moo.

    • Steph says:

      I know,of all the Women in the World,GQ selects the pr0n star Kim Kardashian…..GQ just became a JOKE! I truly find this choice to be very insulting to all women!

      • Bob Loblaw says:

        Seriously, I’m not even a huge Jolie fan, but she’s an amazing actress, mother, now wife who went through some serious health issues this year and is still championing good causes and looking amazing; she’s my kind of woman of the year over Dimwit Kim, any year. I’d even prefer Lena Dunham, who is interesting, relevant and intelligent. Or Miley, who is young and talented and trying really hard. Picking Kim is just pandering to Kanye.

  16. denisemich says:

    Wish you had the photo where Kanye is in her chest, literally. I think that photo was taken with the PussyCat doll singer. LOL.

    He definitely dressed her. I agree she just took out her extensions and it makes her look younger. I personally don’t like the chain-mail skirt. I think Kanye’s ex wore something similar to the VMA awards…

  17. Victoria1 says:

    Something nice: her hair looks good, so shiny and it has movement.

    Something mean: hire a real stylist who doesn’t hate you Kim! I feel like she’s baiting us to talk about her no matter what

  18. Lucy2 says:

    Did she get reinflated again? Her figure is never the same shape day to day. That outfit is hilarious.
    If I came to an event and saw I was seated at their table, I’d feign illness and leave.

  19. MrsBPitt says:

    Kim always looks like she is in a drugged state….there is nothing behind her eyes! That dress is the most horrendous thing that I think I have ever seen Kim wear. I’m not trying to disrepect the “genious” that is Kanye, but if he picked that out for her, then he has no right bitching that no one wants to work with him as a designer. His taste in clothes (and wives) suck!

  20. NewWester says:

    Kim must let Kayne dress her like this because she knows everyone will pay attention to her and comment. She knows exactly what she is doing.
    How else will she stay in the spotlight?

  21. Anna says:

    I love Kim’s hair here! I wish my hair could do that kind of style and look good. Her dresses always look so uncomfortable in the chest area, but if she can handle that for a whole evening then good for her

    I don’t get the “poor Sam Smith” part, they seem to genuinely like eachother and like spending time together.. but okay “poor sam smith”….

  22. Bshg says:

    Why is a giant, silver hourglass standing put in the middle of a celebrity event? Oh, wait.

  23. GiGi says:

    I understand that she has an, um, interesting figure to dress. But she never, never, ever looks good. On the rare occasion that she wears jeans and a looser top (i.e., fitting, not fitted!) she looks alright. What a triumph it would be for Kanye if he dressed her and she looked good!

  24. Mrs. Darcy says:

    Painful to look at and wear I imagine. She does not look comfortable at all.

  25. aquarius64 says:

    The outfit looks cheap and makes her hips bigger than they are, if that’s possible.

  26. in_theory says:

    Every time I see her I think she’s gone DIY on herself with silicone injections. This is not curvy, this is unnatural looking, regardless of the clothes.

  27. PS says:

    I wonder what her behind looked like after she sat in that skirt for a few hours straight.

    • Nona says:

      Ha! That skirt looks like the bubble wrap used in packages. I imagine it made popping noises when she sat.

  28. Ag says:

    she looks like she’s off to comic con. which could be a good thing.

    and i always keep going back to the same issue – how does a person with so many resources look so, so bad so consistently? unless she honestly believes that she looks good.

    • Bob Loblaw says:

      If her plastic surgery is any indication, what she sees in the mirror is very different from what you and I see.

  29. truthful says:

    simply horrid, she does not have the body type for any of this crap. dreadful to say the least.

  30. PixieWitch says:

    Dear Lord that is bad. its a mix of dominatrix and diamond boho chic.

  31. Bliss says:

    This woman dresses like a clown !

    She really has no clue and keeps on drawning herself into ridicoulness with those ‘hell to the no’ outfits she keeps on putting on.

  32. dorothy says:

    Just once, I wish Rachel Zoe or some other stylist would dress her. The results would be amazing. Or as amazing as someone with Kim’s backside could be. At least much better than hers and Kanye’s choices.

    • Ag says:

      someone last week posted a bunch of pics showing how she used to dress. she actually looked quite good years ago – i’m just talking about her outfits here, not even touching the plastic surgeries. i don’t know what happened to her style, but whatever did is awful.

      • Charlotte says:

        She used to work as a Stylist to – among others – Cindy Crawford, so she did know what she was doing. But then Kanye came along, cleared out her closet (literally – it was on one of the KUWTK episodes) and took over responsibility for “dressing” her. Maybe the joke’s on her – he and Riccardo are laughing behind her back? It’s a shame none of the countless people she surrounds herself with have the balls to tell her how she really looks.

  33. kri says:

    There are strippers who would think this look is too much. There are streetwalkers who are shuddering at this outfit as they are coming in from an evening of work. There are madams who are shaking their heads whilst counting their money and saying” Hell, no, girl-I would never hire you in that tacky-ass outfit”. This getup hurts my eyes, my brain and my spirit. Oh, Kanye…you are photographed fixing the her New Year’s Eve table runner that is wrapped around her diving bustier!! *kri whimpers “i can’t do this anymore* whilst doing the wall fall….

  34. Melibea4ever says:

    This is the nightmare of every designer that has commom sense..for real!!

  35. Size Does Matter says:

    It looks a bit like a squid with black bulging googly eyes poking up at the top.

  36. DanaG says:

    Wow and Kanye thinks he is a fashion designer and he let’s his wife look like this? There is NOTHING right about this look. The dress is awful and the leather bodysuit makes it look like Kim through something on over her bondage outfit. Her shape is weird she needs to buy a mirror,

  37. TheOriginalKitten says:

    “This just looks like a drowsy hooker wanted to wear something sparkly.”

    LOL!!!!!!

  38. SnarkGirl says:

    A bustier 4 sizes too small that was stolen from the set of “Metropolis” paired with Auntie Mae’s best lace tablecloth that they then bedazzled.

    And KW is supposed to be a big deal in the fashion world???

  39. Hissyfit says:

    That outfit is terrible! I do not like that she’s letting Kanye dress her up. She used to be really fashionable.

  40. Mischa Jane says:

    I am assuming that Kanye bought her this award like he did her Vogue cover. Because really?!

    Her hair does look beautiful at this length and in this style. It’s very soft and pretty.

    This dress/leather bathing suit monstrosity is just that – a monstrosity! WTF was she thinking? The bra is way too small and makes her boobs look lopsided. And that skirt makes her appear much larger than she probably even is. She looks so tacky and low class. Just no.

    The DM had some cute pics of Kim and Kanye where they were actually laughing and PDAing. They actually didn’t annoy me so much in those pics because they looked for once like they were having fun and like they actually like each other. They were actually both smiling! Shocking.

    • SnarkGirl says:

      I’m thinking the same thing about KW buying the award.

      Woman of the Year? Maybe if the vote was done by a panel of plastic surgeons – you know she’s putting at least a half-dozen kids through braces & ivy-league schools with all the work she has done. Seriously though, giving her that award is a slap in the face to all the smart, classy women out there who are actually doing things to make the world a better place.

  41. Tiffany27 says:

    I wish she didn’t think wearing something tight gives her an “hourglass” figure. It just makes it look like it doesn’t fit.
    I wish she didn’t feel like her value comes from whether or not men want to rub one out to her photos.

  42. aenflex says:

    The size of her bum/hips have ruined what could’ve been an interesting dress (on someone with a different shape). Makes her look knock-kneed. Plus she’s a vapid famewhore. So I vote no.

  43. MediaMaven says:

    Here’s a “truth bomb” that she needs to hear: Get thee a 3-way mirror……stat……..

  44. Honeybea says:

    F*CK!

  45. Missy says:

    Budget or sexy?! How about trash..

  46. portishead says:

    lol I swear I only click on her stories because the titles always say “Flattering or Just wrong?” And every single time its just wrong… and that’s what makes it hilarious.

    I want to know how she has a prominent collarbone and yet an ass and thighs like that. I didnt get a collarbone until I dropped down to 125 and unfortunately I have no bum any more.

  47. Innie Outie says:

    Hahah, now that I’ve seen what Kim was actually wearing, I’ll probably go milder on The Batch’s loo-invoking acceptance speech 😛

  48. Dawn says:

    Beyond budget and right down to just simply bad taste. I heard that she also won an award for being the Woman of the Year. It is a GQ award and so I believe that Kanye West simply bought this award for her. Truly this woman adds nothing of worth to the world and does nothing but walk to nowhere but slowly and vacation and pretend to work very hard at basically nothing. Shame on GQ for promoting this horrid individual.

  49. Charlotte says:

    She’s starting to morph into “Big Ang” from one of those reality shows … it’s such a shame she mucked about with her face as she was actually a very attractive lady circa 2010.

    I hope for her sake that her butt implants don’t ‘go wrong’ (seriously – Google ‘butt implants gone wrong’).

    You know on that recent episode of KUWTK where she had assistants rub oil on her butt for her “selfie” shot on the beach? (The one where she wanted sand to stick, and was photographed lying at the water’s edge, as well as with her butt over the back of a boat or something)? I was horrified at how grotesque she looked – there’s naturally voluptuous and then there’s just weird, surgery-effected voluptuous … she’s definitely the latter and the pre-Photoshopped images were NOT pretty.

    • word says:

      The funny thing is you CAN’T call it a “selfie” if someone else is taking the picture ! Someone please explain this to Kim.

      Also, Woman of The Year ???? What did she do to deserve that ????

      Also, I saw one of the GQ pics, she is NUDE. It is heavily photoshopped, but to be honest, they made her look bigger, especially her waist area. She is a hypocrite…I remember her saying many years ago that she no longer would do nude pics as she wanted to stay away from that “sexy” image…haha that didn’t last long. She knows that’s all she’s got.

      • Chrissy says:

        Just what I was thinking. Didn’t she say that she was upset that no one took her seriously? She sure isn’t helping herself by dressing like a skank and posing
        in the nude in a men’s mag. SMH ad infinitum…….

  50. Maya Memsaab says:

    Not just Kim K but everyone who turned up for this conspicuous consumption crapfest looks strung out and emotionally/ intellectually empty. Oddly fitting, considering that war criminal Blair was awarded an award for philanthrophy at this event. Impeccably dressed airheads coming together to celebrate a murderer – seems a perfect encapsulation of our times.

  51. karkar says:

    I like the outfit just not on her. It makes her hips and butt look very wide.

  52. tabasco says:

    Also, as usual, she/Kanye have no idea how to dress her body type. I think this dress could be great on someone else.

  53. LIVEALOT says:

    Tragic

  54. Syko says:

    Hideous. As usual.

  55. HatetheletterK says:

    Quite hideous indeed. And Kim, Rita Ora looked better than you.

  56. Reece says:

    The body suit/corset/wtf needs to be boy cut on the bottom for her. She looks disproportionately ginormous. The boy cut would have “straightened” her body and balanced it with the top.
    Hair and makeup are nice.
    It’s like she’s his art project…smh.

  57. word says:

    I have to say I really like her hair in these pics.

  58. Jayna says:

    Woman of the Year? Did the audience break out into laughter?

    The photo of Kanye kneeling down arranging the hem of her dress ever so perfectly says it all about what their relationship is behind the scenes. Before anyone say Kim has bad taste, which she does, we all know Yeezus picks out her clothes and dictates the color palette, or lack thereof, ff the baby’s clothes.

    • word says:

      I know. How on earth is she Woman of the Year ? They said it’s because she had a baby and got married and that she’s currently the most famous woman on the planet. What are they smoking?

    • dorothy says:

      I just wonder how embarrassing it was for A-Listers to be at an event that both Kim and Lohan were invited too? At some point you know one whispered to the other “Is this a sign our careers have gone down the crapper to be invited to an event where those two are”? Most A-listers try to stay away from those two to avoid any association with them.

  59. G says:

    She has to be a social experiment. That’s really all I got.

  60. my .02 says:

    Poor Lewis Hamilton, having to sit with those boring people. He can buy and sell all of them (I think he’s second in the F1 standings this year due to 2 DNFs) and he has an awesome French Bulldog he takes to races with him. I love him, and “who?” is probably what he was saying about Kim, too.

  61. Amber says:

    i thought the skirt was bubble wrap.

  62. Nicolette says:

    Like a tube of Pillsbury pop n’ fresh dough ready to burst. Difference is the dough at least has some taste.

  63. Gypsy says:

    Life is so strange, isn’t it?
    Some people will have fulfilled all their dreams and even exceeded it and others will just be spectators to those lucky few living their royal life.
    In a movie we the commenters, her mom and her other sisters are just extras in the Kim movie, no matter what happens she floats to the top.
    Kim makes a lot of people a lot of money, advertisers, Tabloids and business partners, Kim for love and for hate is the most talked about woman in the world and that’s money to those people….So, you won’t get rid of her until she’s all used up.

    • Gypsy says:

      Regarding her now international presence:
      Kanye certainly loves her but also, as he said in an interview, he sees Kim as an opportunity to build an empire, apart from his love for her, she’s also a tool to achieve Kanye’s dream.
      Kanye is making her a world presence, so you can blame Kanye for the Kim-infection that’s spreading, people like to dismiss Kanye but what they don’t know is that he’s first and foremost a business man, he became rich as a producer before he became a Rapper…..He’s building an empire and Kim’s his tool.

    • Bob Loblaw says:

      There’s nothing strange about media exposure and not every body aspires to be Kim or Kanye. You would have to pay me a very large sum of money to go anywhere these two are. I don’t care for expensive clothes or an empty existence full of things nobody needs, showing off to a bunch of useless people who care for you not at all. I’ll spend my quiet, boring life in California and thank my lucky stars I’m not a sad creature like Kim. If I had their fame and fortune, the very last thing I would do is anything they are reportedly doing, they have it all and have no idea how to live well.

      • Gypsy says:

        Everybody have their own dreams, it might not be yours but perhaps it’s her dream to live the life of royalty and fame, perhaps she want to do whatever she needs to do, to leave her kid(s) millions of dollars.
        Also, lets not forget the Kardashian empire is on her shoulders, so she has many mouths and dreams to feed.

  64. Nancy says:

    She looks tacky as usual and her butt is just gross!

  65. Pager90 says:

    Did she really Win GQ a Woman of The Year?

  66. Luciana says:

    Kim K has a long history of poor fashion choices. It’s not like she dress to impress but to make an impression, a statement and not always a good one.

  67. Barbiegirl says:

    Seriously even if somebody made all the efforts in the world to look unclassy/vulgar, she always tops the best efforts. Result: unbelievably tacky.

    How in the world could you go out like this?
    To do that you kind of need to feel like a hooker inside, I do not have any other explanations…

  68. Magnolia says:

    Why does Kanye ALWAYS show off his man cleavage lol ….ewe to both of them and their insecurities.

  69. Elizabeth says:

    The thing about these people is that no matter how much what they wear costs, they make it look cheap and tacky. If Kim had worn a perfectly-fitting replica of Kate Middleton’s wedding gown, it would still look cheap and tacky. That’s because Kim Kardashian is, herself, cheap and tacky. No matter what she does, she will always be cheap and tacky.

  70. tangerine says:

    LMAO… I literally laughed when I opened these pics. If nothing else it’s entertaining! She looks like a toad with a dress on.

  71. raindrop says:

    “This just looks like a drowsy hooker wanted to wear something sparkly.”

    You win the Internet!

  72. Bob Loblaw says:

    Why is she wearing a leather swim suit under a chain mail skirt?

  73. jwoolman says:

    I saw the GQ pictures and it was sad. Soft pr0n would be the kindest way to describe it. Ok. Heavily photoshopped pr0n. And her alleged husband was undoubtedly the major push for it, having taken over pimp duties from her Demon Mother. Or maybe it was a double pimp effort. What is she going to do as she ages? This is all she has, and it’s so fleeting. Are they going to be pushing Nori the same way, when the Jenner girls get too old? Kanye’s family had better start planning an intervention for that little girl.

  74. kitty-bye says:

    Harley meets Vegas Mud Flap Girl with fishnet.

  75. dorothy says:

    I never realized , but this massive PR push by Kim is actually backfiring People are tired of seeing her and hearing about her. This may be the worst PR campaign ever. The results are devastating. for Kim. She may have gotten Woman of the Year, but does that really matter if the few fans she has left desert her because of over-exposure?

  76. rudy says:

    Did you see the tushie picture of Kartrashian in GQ? It’s on the DailyFail.

    Her waist looks like it is made out of some kind of hardwood flooring.

  77. Mikunda says:

    OMG, it makes look short-legged, huge-bottomed, awkwardly unrefined and badly dressed. Can’t she hire someone to give her professional advice. I mean she could look so elegant and so beautiful if she wears normal clothes, lols.
