Kim Kardashian attempts a modest ‘prairie chic’ look in LA: cute or unflattering?

FFN_Kardashian_Kim_STOIA_PREM_060314_51438725

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian in LA yesterday, having lunch with her mom. Are we seeing Kim’s “married style” now? Now that she’s married, she’s going to be more covered-up and conservative? Because I will be sad if that’s true. One of my few pleasures in life is seeing what bizarre and unflattering “sexy” clothes Kim tries to pull off. I won’t know what to do with myself if she’s trying to do “prairie chic” or whatever this is. Amish chic?

And here’s where Kim is consistent – she really never understood how to dress her body. Ever. This dress might have looked like chic 1970s wallpaper on someone built like Keira Knightley, you know, straight up and down, slender with small boobs. But on Kim, it looks like a tent. It would look like a tent on me as well. Girls with curves learn early on not to wear this kind of excessively fabric-y dresses. These dresses make us look shorter, squatter and bulkier. Plus, Kim tried to pour herself into this piece – look how her boobs are jammed in there. Never a good look.

One more thing, and this link is kind of NSFW. Kanye West apparently gave Kim a wedding gift. That gift? A portrait of herself done by London artist Bambi – it’s a portrait of Kim naked except for a g-string, looking over her shoulder. You can see it here. It doesn’t even look like Kim.

    Oh goodness no. Unflattering, definitely. It would’ve been cuter as a romper or something.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      LOL! It’s really bad.

      • mimif says:

        Sorry to hijack but Kitten look! 2 more weeks and he’s mine. Poly, lynx tips, hooded eyes, perfect pattern and (can’t see but) perfect bobcat tail. Eeeeeeee!!

      • ~Z~ says:

        Aw how cute! What will you name your new kittay?

      • Amanduh says:

        @ MIMIF: that is one adorable kitty!!!!! Names picked out?!

      • Chicagogurk says:

        OMG adorable kitty!

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Sooo cute!

      • Kiddo says:

        I howled, howled, with laughter. Clicking on this link was worth it for that, alone.

      • Kiddo says:

        @mimif, I think that little guy is the Kryptonite for stomping activities; way too adorable.

      • mimif says:

        Thanks everyone! I haven’t met him yet so I don’t know. Breeder says he’s really outgoing, playful and affectionate so I think I’ll call him Dirty Harry. Lol

        *Or maybe I’ll just name him Kiddo. 😉

      • swack says:

        @mimif – awwwww!! I love him!!!! If I could I would have a couple more cats (have 2 already).

      • Liberty says:

        Kitty!!!!

      • JudyK says:

        Adorable!!! The kitten, that is, NOT KK (now KKW, I guess).

      • aenflex says:

        Why not adopt?

      • mimif says:

        @aenflex, good question. I’m all about “opt to adopt” and I have done volunteer/rescue/foster work with both dogs and cats for the past 20 years. I looked into pixie bob rescue and there has been nothing available in my area for years. I eventually came across a breeder whom I came to admire and appreciate, who’s also involved in rescue. I’ve been on her waiting list for over 2 years as she has only one small litter a year, so I’m going for it and I’m totally happy about it. 🙂

    • SpookySpooks says:

      I think she looks really good. She even looks taller.

      • Camille (The Original) says:

        You’re joking right?

      • sweetie says:

        Kim looks short and fat (actually looks Pregnant). She can’t wear this type of dress without looking stupid. Porn ho needs to stop trying to be a lady, cause she isn’t.

    • Chrissy says:

      OMG!! She looks like a sister-wife here.

    • Dommy Dearest says:

      Looks like a walking tent for Folk Life.

      That painting, Kanye must have given the painter a picture of one of his side chicks.

    • Belle Epoch says:

      Does anyone have a link to what this dress is supposed to look like? Who designed it? Just wondering what it looks like worn correctly.

      Long sleeved high collar maxi dress and it’s 80 degrees – perfect eczema coverup!

  2. Audrey says:

    Does she own a mirror? This makes her look way bigger than she is.

    It’s too much fabric and too long

    At least everything isn’t hanging out for once

  3. BooBooLaRue says:

    Big house on the prairie?

  4. word says:

    I like the idea of that dress, but on her it just doesn’t work. Also, that portrait Kanye reportedly gave Kim…isn’t that from her playboy shoot?

    • mimif says:

      What a sweet, intimate portrait to give to your blushing bride. Perfect to hang over the mantle, don’t you think?

    • HH says:

      That portrait isn’t accurate except for the pose. The body in the pic is proportional and Kim’s is not. Plus, it’s just not cute. Not a good look, Kimye. Not a good look.

    • Mingy says:

      Dude gives the worst gifts! That God-awful Hermes bag with the painting on it, and now this.

    • Lizzy1013 says:

      Isn’t that exactly what happens every time she puts clothes on? The idea of the clothing isn’t too bad, but it just doesn’t work for her body type or it’s the wrong size!!

  5. Dawn says:

    LOL!! Really an ugly look on her. She is so short to begin with that this makes her look like she is even shorter. Awful but that is her style on any given day. So she is back on the stroll and she appears to be so happy about it!

    • Josephine says:

      She just returned from her honeymoon, and already walking the streets, leaving the kid at home.

    • yolo112 says:

      She’s happy because this is probably the only times she’s been spanx free in forever.

  6. Jayna says:

    I am so sick of that serious face she gives now since being with Kanye. It’s so phony. I’m a serious A-Lister and the paps are bothering me. I didn’t call them. I swear. That dress is a joke on her.

  7. Angie says:

    Totally unflattering…she’s better off with her usual two size smaller outfits, IMO.

  8. lower-case deb says:

    i remember she was in Austria for that Viennese ball.
    have the hotel she was staying at found their lost curtains?

  9. scooter says:

    it would be super cute if it was just a skirt and a separate top. but, no, that’s asking too much.

  10. Pandy says:

    She’d be helpful if you were at sea and your sail ripped … and I’ll pass on looking at that portrait. I sense a giant @ss hanging out and I’ve had my fill of the klans’ butts. Thanks but no thanks!!

    • kri says:

      Crying laughing, @Pandy!! OMG, if the ship was sinking, you’d have to rip that dress off of her, then toss her for balast. Thar Shee Blows.

    • ~Z~ says:

      Her body is pretty much a life raft with plenty of flotation devices….

    • Naomi says:

      Treat yourself and look at the painting. Her rear end is no where near actual size. I am convinced Kanye is not into women. He acts like a man who doesn’t interact with us as more than an object of possession. Who would be flattered by a SO who refers to you as a perfect bitch and sings about receiving oral sex his wife and finds that flattering?

  11. grabbyhands says:

    I don’t get it. She has the money to get the best stylists in the world. And she’s had that body long enough to know that short, curvy girls can’t get away with that look. And worse, it is a horrible pattern and a deadening color. She has a great body for lots of looks-why does she consistently try to dress for a body she doesn’t have?

    • mia girl says:

      Maybe she’s wearing this because needed to blend into a couch to conceal herself… kind of like a Robert Downey Jr did at the end of Sherlock Holmes Part 2?

    • Josephine says:

      Maybe because she gets more attention for dressing poorly? I can’t believe that someone would purposefully do to their body what she has done, or dress the ways she does, unless they were in desperate need for attention and reassurance. She desperately needs a way to gain validation and confidence that does not involve what she looks like.

  12. Ag says:

    that dress – LOL

    and, kanye must have gotten his gifts mixed up. that definitely isn’t kim in that picture.

  13. Alex says:

    I wouldn’t wear that out to my mailbox!

  14. Mixtape says:

    I guess I’m alone, but I kind of liked this… so refreshing after all the ill-fitting pencil skirts and overtly revealing outfits.

    • C.J. says:

      You’re not alone. I think it would have been better fitted slightly, but I liked the look, and it goes well with her dark hair.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      +1

      The fit isn’t great, but it’s got a bohemianish vibe to it, and she’s trying something different.

    • skeksis says:

      Agreed, I sort of like it. It’s bohemian and I like seeing her go for “pretty” instead of “SEXY!!!!” for once.

    • claire says:

      I like the dress a lot just not on her.

    • mcsandwich says:

      I love the dress. I wish I could find the designer listed somewhere.

      • Sabrine says:

        I love this dress and I think it looks very nice on her. She doesn’t look fat or short in it. There’s not too much fabric and that’s my favorite sleeve length. It might have been better a little earlier in the season as this would be too much on a hot day but for something different, it’s a nice change. I love the air flow in a long dress like this. Just the other day, I saw a similar print to this on a skirt a mannequin was wearing in a boutique at the mall.

      • TG says:

        It is Valentino I think.

      • Heidi says:

        Valentino

    • jwoolman says:

      Mixtape- you’re not alone. I like her in it, too. Looks normal for once. And comfortable. She’s actually wearing something she could sit down in. We need to encourage this, people.

  15. Stephanie says:

    I agree that it makes her look bigger, but that isn’t a bad thing. She doesn’t look fat. I like the dress but feel it’s out of season. Looks like an early fall dress.

  16. Narak says:

    I think I saw those sheets at Zara Home in Spain. They ran away and turned into a dress!

  17. Ollyholly says:

    I like this dress. *ducks*

  18. shelley says:

    Way too much fabric around her hips and butt. Makes her look even wider than she is. I like a good maxi dress, and I like the idea behind this, but on her it just does not work.

  19. coco says:

    No style! Heavily patterned prairie dresses need flats (or Birkenstocks, amiright?), NOT decorative high heels! (facepalm)

  20. feebee says:

    That pattern is pretty popular where I live…. as a wallpaper in the powder room. My neighbors also know that it’s best in small doses.

  21. lunchcoma says:

    Oh dear. This is the sort of dress an Olsen twin could pull off, but it’s not the right shape for someone with a curvier body type.

  22. LilyT says:

    Perhaps she’s on her way to a butter churning shoot? Milk maid couture? Covered wagon chic?

  23. dorothy says:

    At least she’s not wearing that ridiculously cheap looking swimsuit top she wore several weeks ago.

  24. Amanda says:

    Too much fabric.

  25. swack says:

    What is the temperature right now in LA? I would be totally sweating (and I mean sweating not glistening) in that dress. Also, when I first saw it I thought she wore it to spark rumors of her being pregnant. JMO.

    • watchmaker says:

      @SWACK: That’s the FIRST thing that came to my mind as well. I bet she’s wearing that dress to start those Southwest baby rumors….

      Kind of off topic… it’s rumored that Kourtney and Scott are expecting their third child in December. I wish that would have been announced right before Kimye Katastrophe ……insert evil laugh here…..

    • MW says:

      It is hot in LA. It has cooled down to the low 80’s in the past few days, but it is still way too hot for that dress.

  26. paola says:

    She really needs to stop smiling said no one ever.
    Does she even have teeth? I’m not sure.

  27. lassie says:

    No. I don’t care for it. That is a Kirstie Alley dress- the cut, at least. The pattern is early Howard Johnson’s bedspread. It also smushed her boobs flat. On the positive side, it looks like really nice weather wherever she is.

  28. LadyJane says:

    Did she get new cheekbones?

  29. maichan says:

    New botox? Especially in that first picture. It’s peculiar

    • HappyMom says:

      I was coming on here to say the same thing. Now we know why she rushed back to LA-she didn’t miss her daughter. She missed her cosmetic derm and plastic surgeon.

    • Snowflake says:

      Yep fresh Botox and some fillers too. Her face is normally not that puffy. Or if not fillers, maybe she didn’t contour her face like she normally does?

  30. Nima1 says:

    Yes, I hope she keeps wearing these atrocities, its so entertaining. Good for a laugh!

  31. karkar says:

    Laura ingalls wants her dress back lol.

  32. The Original G says:

    Kim has a GENIUS talent for wearing clothes completely out of context and making them laughable. Also, she excels at making expensive things look cheap.

    I do thank her for responding to my plea that she put the tits away on daylight pap walks.

    I like the painting. Is she into Kanye, the way he seems to be into her?

    • word says:

      She’s into Kanye’s money and fame…but I doubt she loves him the way he loves her. She seems to already be bored with him (a life long pattern of hers). I don’t think she’s managed to be with the same man for more than a few years. She loves getting married but not staying married. I’m sure her and PMK are thinking of their next pr stunt as I type this.

      • The Original G says:

        Her expressions, these days kind of remind me of her post-Humphries funk. Hearing that she didn’t enjoy her honeymoon is a red flag to me.

    • ~Z~ says:

      Does she choose what she wears ONLY on whatever someone will pay her to wear the horrible things she wears?

  33. kibbles says:

    She could look really classy and sexy with curves in all the right places if she knew how to dress herself. Although most people diss her body on here, she has a fairly attractive body to people who appreciate curves (even though her curves were bought and paid for). She has the money to look good in custom made outfits that flatter her body type, but money can’t buy class.

  34. MissTrial says:

    Her extensions are oh so obvious in these pics. She’s off her game of late, a lot.

  35. zyfoo says:

    she looks more like harriet oleson loll

  36. Reece says:

    I love this dress. Not on her though. You aren’t supposed to be compressed into it. smh

  37. Helvetica says:

    Cannot dress to save her life

  38. Jackson says:

    Is this dress a win by default, since there are no hideous cutouts and her butt isn’t coated with spray-on fabric? No, not even then. Maybe chica ate a few carbs on her Irish honeymoon and this is her version of ‘fat clothes?’ Whatever it is, it looks nearly as uncomfortable as her usual costumes.

  39. Em says:

    I’m pretty sure Kiera Knightley DID wear that dress… in Pride and Prejudice.

  40. The Original Mia says:

    From a distance, I thought she was wearing a huge dollar bill and thought to myself…”of course”. Then I saw the dress up close and thought to myself…”of course”. Can’t.Dress.To.Save.Her.Life.

  41. Miss5280 says:

    What is going on with her cheekbones?? Is that Kim or Malificent?

    Know what is very flattering on a large chested woman (but something I have never seen her wear)? A v-neck! A nice v-neck that helps elongate her torso. How was she ever a professional stylist??

    • Chrissy says:

      I think I’ve seen her wear a V-neck before but then we’re
      subjected to her ridiculous fake boobs hanging out!

    • the original bellaluna says:

      And where are her eyes?

  42. June says:

    Something must be wrong with me. I actually like this look. I’m eyeing my closet with skepticism now and totally not trusting my fashion choices for today.

  43. G says:

    LOL! Oh wow! Yes a long sleeved flowing dress with wild patterns would look GREAT on you Kim! LOL! Her friends hate her. They hate you Kim!

  44. Gymo says:

    Reading this article caused me to think about the daily grind of ordinary people, struggling to keep heads above water.

    Being rich is so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    You wear what you want to wear.
    You live where you want to live
    You associate with who you want to know.
    You answer to only yourself.
    Your merest desire/wish is in your own powers to fulfill.
    I think being rich is a good thing. Too bad so many people will never experience that much power and control over their own lives.

    • Gymo says:

      Let me mention another perk.
      Your boss is the person you see in the mirror every morning, everybody else even the President is just an associate.
      You live in a bubble where your people only tells you things they think will please you.
      The Police isn’t there (in your town/city) to protect the people they are there to protect you from the ordinary people.

      THEN you protect your wealth by telling every poor person:
      1. Money is the root of all evil – You don’t want to have a lot of evil, do you?
      2. Money can’t buy happiness – Every day I get on my jet/yacht I cry a little.
      3. God loves the poor – Don’t be mad at me I have to enjoy my money now because I won’t have that beautiful reward in heaven that you will get.
      4. I don’t sleep as peacefully as you on my 2,400 Egyptian threaded sheets with silk pillows as you do on that single thread.

  45. claire says:

    She didn’t spend much time at home to see her baby, did she? Right back into the makeup chair and out for the paps.

  46. Carrie says:

    She looks like Shia LeBouef’s mom.

  47. Carrie says:

    Or however that little weasels name is spelled, idk I dont remember much of French class lol.

  48. Gymo says:

    I think she’s trying out new Kanye approved maternity dress in preparation for baby#2

  49. Sansa says:

    Kayne must be watching Game of Thrones

  50. DrFunkenstein says:

    Somewhere, a camel weeps for its lost blanket.

  51. Diane says:

    Laura Ashley has come back from the grave with a vengeance! Yikes!

  52. Palermo says:

    Maybe Mr. Kardashian-West wants her to dress more demurely now that she’s his wife LOL

  53. deseree02 says:

    She has just completed her transformation into Mona Lisa who is also expressionless.

  54. OMG, GO AWAY already!

    That is all.

  55. Jag says:

    She looks pregnant in the side view. Didn’t he want her to have more children right away?

  56. lucy says:

    What? No pockets?

  57. Kat Matz says:

    She’s trying to start an early rumor that’ she is s knocked up but her sister beat her to it.

  58. LaurieH says:

    She looks like an upholstered parsons chair I saw in Pottery Barn.

  59. melain says:

    Fug. What is it? I’ve never seen anything like that as…well, clothes.

  60. Smurfette says:

    Well first she wore the couch now she’s wearing the drapes. Hideous as usual.

  61. brianna says:

    It’s nice that she has covered herself up for once, I hope she will continue to go for a more demure look. She has been playing on her sex appeal for way too long and it is beggining to look pathetic now that she is a mother + wife. It is sad that her daughter is going to have to grow up with a mother that places such high importance on looks. I wonder is PMK had a mother that did this to her?

  62. Katie says:

    Perhaps if the skirt had been knee length, it would have worked. But that is way too much material and it makes her looks huge.

  63. Gal says:

    Is she carrying two phones? Maybe one is strictly for her divorce lawyer that Kanye doesn’t know about yet?

  64. vava says:

    I guess if I had to choose between this sort of look and the obscene over exposure of some of her Lycra outfits, I’d choose this. But really the point here is that Kim rarely knows how to dress in a flattering way. There has been a slight improvement with Kanye on the scene, but really you’d think at Kim’s age she would have a handle on what looks good on her.
