Khloe Kardashian did a lengthy interview and exclusive photoshoot with Harper’s Bazaar. The editorial is sort of interesting because, as Bazaar notes, their styling people asked Khloe “to wear minimal makeup, a natural nude nail lacquer, and no shoes.” That was the prerequisite! So, they gave Khloe a makeunder. And she looks nice, honestly. I still think her face looks plastic and her lips are killing me, but she looks a lot better when she has professional magazine stylists working with her. As for the interview, it’s pretty good – you can read the full piece here. Some highlights:
Losing weight & fashion: “I definitely think the fashion industry, and people in general, look at me more now that I’ve lost weight. Even on shoots, I would never have options for clothing. There would always be this attention on Kourtney and Kim, but I was too much work for [stylists] or they had nothing in my size. I wasn’t even that crazy big!”
She’s worked with the same stylist for years: “At my fattest, Monica would always come with racks of clothes and make me feel special. She never told me, ‘Oh, they don’t have that in your size.’ Other people actually said, ‘I just can’t work with you’—because I was too big. That always hurt my feelings, of course.”
Now those stylists offer to dress her but she refuses: “I’m just like, ‘F–k you. I’m not going to reward your bad behavior.'”What she dislikes about being a Kardashian: “The thing I dislike the most is the judgment on us. If I want to go out with a group of friends, it’s never as harmless as that. There has to be some story the next day that I’m dating somebody.”
Dating celebrities: “I used to wonder why celebrities only dated celebrities, but when you’re in it you understand. You feel a little safer… If you’re seen with someone on your first date, you’re automatically getting married the next day. It’s so extreme! So when you’re two celebrities, you can keep it really quiet at first, to see if you even like each other. Dating someone in your world is a little easier.”
Insecurities: “I like to say I don’t care what people say about me, but that’s not true. Not wanting to go to certain places because I wonder what will be written about me the next day—I hate that I carry that with me.”
She reads the comments: “I think people who say they don’t are lying. What’s sad is that I can read 10 beautiful comments and then one bad one and I’m like, ‘Ugh!'”
Becoming a gym-rat when her marriage failed: “My home [with Odom] was dark and toxic. At the time, my family didn’t know what I was going through. It was the biggest secret I’ve kept. I just needed a place to go.” She couldn’t hide out at her mother’s house—”she would start asking too many questions”—and she was too scared to find sanctuary at a hotel (“the paparazzi would see me and it would look shady”), so she simply started going to the gym. “They had a TV and I could watch The Real Housewives on an elliptical. No one talked to me. I loved that solitude.”
The goal was never a number: “I never thought about the number. When I started seeing that I could lose weight—because I just thought my body would never change—I started taking it more seriously and eating better.” She favors Pilates and SoulCycle, but concedes that circuit training “and really intense cardio” gives her the best results. “I’m a beast at the gym. I’m super competitive and I’m a sweater. I’m like, ‘Don’t f–k with me and don’t mess up my routine.’”She loves working out with Kourtney but not Kim: “I love that we can work out together. Because Kim sort of prances and is super cute and gorge, while Kourtney and I are dripping wet.”
I’m like Khloe before she got a trainer – I love the solitude of working out by myself, being alone with my thoughts. But I understand why she got a trainer and started taking her diet and exercise seriously too, and I believe her when she says that it was not about the numbers on the scale. She had always been “the fat one” (even though she wasn’t fat) and it must feel great to suddenly have more access to fashion and stuff now that her body is so different. The only thing I don’t really understand is why she’s all “f—k you” to the people who didn’t want to dress/style her when she was bigger? I mean, does she realize that Harper’s Bazaar wasn’t offering her editorials five years ago either?

ah, Khloe bought herself a new face. Did she think we wouldn’t notice?
I wish I could figure out who she looks like now. It sure isn’t Khloe, though.
Khloe Kardashian featured in Harper’s Bazaar… Well at least it wasn’t a cover.
I’m so curious what she had done and what was from working out. I’m thinking eye lift and chin implant?
I wouldn’t just call her a gym rat she posts on snapchat that she works out twice a day. I think it’s more obsession.
I think that lasery stuff like cool laser for skin/cellulite things which god bless that’s reasonable, I always read about how they all have this really great skin without makeup and I’ve come to the conclusion Dr.Ouriand is probably cool lasering and collagen stimulating the effff hout of their skins ( an Malika at that who is also on his page) and Lips and that fat transfer to the glutes , Obvi……but I feel like if you have no job per se, other than get a face beat and sit waving somewhere is it not feasible that she could give it two a days ? especially being that now this is her brand/livelyhood?
@QQ- did you see Kim when she stopped botoxing with Saint? Her skin was baaaad, like super wrinkly and textured. I couldn’t believe botox had that much effect her skin.
I would buy that book. I wish one of them would come clean and tell us what she’s had done for real. That plastic surgeon of theirs must be a wizard.
That last photo looks like Chrissy Teigan
She looks really cute in that photo though!
Interesting. I see it, she sort of does.
My first thought was they’d morphed a photo of Gigi Hadid with one of Chrissy Teigan. She looks chipmunkish to me.
Kim has so much botox in her body that I would be really surprised if she could squeeze a drop of sweat out of that poreless skin.
I don’t believe she works out that much, i think she stays thin by taking drugs. and she hates the Judgement??
girl, bye.
Isnt that what’s widely rumored? that it was her and Lamar doing things together and she essentially was able to keep it together
Yeah, there’s been rumors about her, Lamar and Rob doing drugs together while living together.
She looks pretty here, I have to admit.
I can’t shade her for using exercise as a way to cope with stress. I do the same thing. I don’t doubt that she works out, I just doubt that she’s a “beast” in the gym. Maybe a beast compared to Kim, but…..
Yeah, I tend to think it’s all comparative.
I mean – maybe MAYBE she goes ham when she’s there. Honestly – I wouldn’t be surprised if she over did it for a while due to all the “she’s the ugly Kardashian” and “Khloe’s the fat one” type comments that tend to follow her. I think if I heard that on a regular basis, I’d probably be super hard on myself in the gym.
But I also think a large amount of it is comparing herself to someone like Kim who probably doesn’t do a whole lot. I need to get my butt in gear and get back to the gym. I looooved doing leg presses and stuff like that because I could ALWAYS outlift the husband… but I have absolutely no upper body strength. I can do situps for ages, but two pushups in – I’m done.
Women almost always DESTROY men in lower body stuff–squats, lunges, etc.
Actually, the women at my gym are generally out-performing men in all of the HIIT-type classes as well. But men have natural upper-body strength that most women can’t compete with. I’m built kind of like a gymnast in that I have narrow hips and thin lower body with really strong arms and shoulders so I’m good at push-ups and can do them forever–and NEVER on my knees, always on my toes 😉
My least favorite exercise has to be plyo lunges, though. Man, those things suck.
The only reason I sort of believe her is that I think she has a sort of body type that’s really hard to change without hard work. Don’t get me wrong, I think she has had surgical assistance, too, but I think she really does exercise. She looks pretty in those pictures.
When I had breast cancer, working out was such a joyful thing for me because I felt like it was the one thing I could control. It’s hard to explain, but it really helped me mentally.
Yeah I agree with you. Unlike Kim, Khloe actually does appear to have a level of fitness.
Oh I completely understand, GNAT. I mean obviously I don’t know what it’s like to have cancer but I know how great those endorphins feel and I can imagine how important it would be to be able to do something positive for your body, when your body is being inhabited and controlled by a voracious disease.
Khloe has a level of fitness, but I wonder about how much of a sweater she is. She doesn’t look like she’s sweating at all in pictures that are posted. I’m a sweater, I look totally looked bedraggled after working out or doing ANY kind of physical activity. Some days I just need to step outside (in this humid, hot weather) and I start sweating.
Good for you for finding something that helped make it through breast cancer.
Folks, i loathe to say it but this is Good (for her) Like..this is as pretty/nice/natural as we are gonna get cause there is no going back on the hemorrhoid lips this is It
Yup. She looks pretty for her. That sounds meaner than I meant it to.
Oh yes, sausage-lips aside, the toned-down makeup does wonders for her appeal. I wish she would stick with this.
What? Dating a celebrity is easier?
“when you’re two celebrities, you can keep it really quiet at first, to see if you even like each other. Dating someone in your world is a little easier.”
QUIET?
RIGHT?? Pretty sure that’s the exact opposite of what actually happens. And the exact opposite of what many of them want to happen in the first place.
That would be true if her family didn’t constantly film everything and call the paps every minute.
I like the two black and white photos of her.
Who is this woman? I don’t recognize her.
She is by far the nastiest, most vulgar of the K’s. She’s constantly lashing out at people on social media and twitter fighting. Are we supposed to forget her personality because she bought a new face and worked out?
She can dish it, but can’t take it. Nasty woman.
Yes. It’s been surprising to witness. It’s also why I don’t trust any shade she projects onto Lamar. She had a large influence and part in where he is today, but she’ll never take responsibility for it.
I really dislike it when people who’ve lost weight feel the need to start talking down on women who are still larger. It’s great that she got ‘healthy’ but some women don’t have nutritionists and trainers at their beck and call. They do the best with what they have.
Those ugly trout lips ruin it for me.
I think she looks incredible!
That’s interesting that some stylist actually turned her down AND told her she is fat – I thought with her name and money everyone would try to get her business!
What makes you think she’s telling the truth?
I can definitely see that. I have a friend who was a PR person for a big brand and they wouldn’t work with overweight celebrities (no matter how famous) or certain celebrities that they deemed “uncool.”
This is disgusting about the industry!!!
I don’t know who reads an interview of a Kartrashian. Is there still something about them we don’t know already ?
Her face/figure are a combo of hard work and excellent plastic surgery. These pictures are really nice. Khloe looks somewhat normal, but those lips….let some air out of the tire…..please.
She looks stunning. I love that she’s so proud of her body and talks about how fiercely she works out. Team Khloe!
She doesn’t want to reward bad behavior? Her paycheck is her being rewarded for her own bad behavior. No sense of irony, that one.
First of all photoshopped pics obviously but she does look classier than usual…yes she prolly goes to the gym, but she had Lipo, Brazilian butt lift etc. and tons of laser to get rid of cellulite. I wish she would stop doing whatever she does to her lips-they just look funky…
And they either photoshopped her nose in that third pic….or she finally had nose job
