Kanye West and Kim Kardashian attended last night’s BET Honors in Washington, DC. They were the most famous people there, if we’re not including CNN’s Wolf Blitzer (and I don’t think we should). As per usual, Kanye didn’t want to smile because people in 19th century paintings didn’t smile and they looked super-cool, so not smiling makes him smile.
As for their ensembles… both Kanye and Kim are wearing Balmain. Kim ID’d the outfits on her Instagram. I have to say… I think we should encourage Kim whenever she dares to cover up. While I generally think it’s a bad idea for big-busted girls to wear high-neck anything, the cut of her Balmain actually is kind of flattering. I just wish the fabric wasn’t so textured, because it blends with her hair and I actually thought for a second that the dress was made out of hair.
I’m also including some photos of Kim and Kanye arriving at Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia ahead of the BET Honors event. Kim and Kanye did their black & grey thing, of course, but take a look at Kim’s feet. She was all covered up – as she should be, it was 30-40 degrees this weekend in DC – except for her sandals. Because of course she travels in high-heeled sandals. These sandals are from the Celine Fall 2010 collection and at the time, they cost $6000. The insole of the sandal is lined in bunny fur. Um… isn’t that difficult to walk on?

Morticia.
i had bunny fur jackets as a teen, but i’d like to think i and others have matured and become more aware.
i have nothing but disdain for people who wear animal anything.
it’s just not necesssary.
there are so many other beautiful non-animal fashion items out there.
she’s an idiot anyway…why would i expect anything more from her.
Fur kills and perpetuates a lot of violence, both inside and outside the factory farms. She’s a disgrace. I absolutely loathe their entire greedy useless no moral awareness family.
Oh man, you’d hate me. I’m in college, studying artisan leather working and leather design.
But honestly, I don’t get your line of thought. I, on the other hand, abide by a leather or fur item that you wear for years, decades, care for so it would last longer, and honour the animal whose skin it is, rather than cycle through synthetic products that are less durable, whose production and disposal pollute the natural environment of many a wild animal and plant to the same extent as leather production does, if not more (fake leather and other fake synthetic fibers take a long, long time to decompose). All in the name of preventing immediate harm to the animal. I mean, at least bunny gets to skip free now, never mind that in 50 years there won’t be an environment for the bunny to skip in.
THAT SAID. You just KNOW that for these Kardashian folks, fur is just something you buy, wear a few times, then leave it to the bottom of the closet or toss it. Nobody needs a fur coat made out of an exotic, endangered animal when you live in goddamned LA. A sheepskin parka keeps you just as warm. And rabbit fur insoles for freakin’ sandals is just… just.. excessive.
When you buy leather or fur, you buy it with its utility and longevity in mind. Yes the item can also be intricately crafted, but it should be first and foremost be used for its durability and quality. You don’t buy fur and leather for fun.
For those who want to shop for leather and fur, I suggest thrift stores. I picked up four fur coats and several pig skin jackets that are in great condition, some of which I’m gonna alter. There is no immediate need to get brand new leather unless there is. Because that’s what’s great about well-kept leather and fur: it can last for generations.
/off the soapbox
@M. Sorry but how do you honor something by killing it and wearing it around, spilling things on it? Is there honor in draping a carcass around yourself? Especially when cotton and other fabrics do a fantastic job as clothes. Factory fur farms produce so much industrial waste and often are a hotspot for illegal migrants looking for under the radar work….the fur industry is a disgrace.
I’m sorry, animals (bunnies, foxes, dogs, etc.) being skinned alive for fur is revolting and I can’t understand why this is still an industry in 2015. Foxes will actually chew through their legs out of boredom from being kept in cages while their fur is being grown out. Fur was necessary hundreds of years ago for warmth but we should all know better by now. Fur serves absolutely no purpose except as decoration and is somehow allowed to continue. How anyone can rationalize this industry is beyond me.
Cotton and wool doesn’t cut it in artic winters like we have in Canada. There’s a time and a place.
But fur on the inside of your shoe? Really, how indulgent does Kim need to be. It’s just excessive and gross. Kind of like her taste in fashion.
It’s very easy to be so judgy when you have the means to get other items, but parts of the world do still need to use fur to keep alive. Not choose to, but need to.
And skinning alive? Good lord no! Why paint this with such a large brush to reinforce your argument? You can get the fur without the animal being alive or suffering at all.
I had bunny fur mittens as a child. They were needed and they were so soft I hated getting rid of them.
GoNatural
I’m pretty sure Kim doesn’t have much depth to her. Indulgent, but poor fashion choices. No surprise the name will begin with K. :O
You can get the fur without the animal suffering if the company supplying the fur wants to pay extra for the humane murder of the animal. Many don’t, and that is why there are videos of the extreme torture they put the animals through in order to take their skin and fur.
There is no reason in the world to kill bunnies for their fur to put on sandals. None. at. all.
Haha, you beat me to it. Morticia, indeed. I adore Wolf, and would love to see him rock some bunny sandals!
Oh God, nailed it. That was my first thought, too. This is not flattering.
Elvira
Only if her boobs were sticking out. I don’t remember Elvira dressing conservatively ( I could be wrong).
I was just checking to see if anyone had the same “Morticia” reaction. Wow.
Exactly. In the airport pic, she’s covered head to toe in fur. How many fur babies had to die to make this vapid woman a fug outfit?
But I liked Morticia.
She only wishes she were Morticia!
There are some more pictures on the Daily Mail.The dress is horrible and is not flattering at all.We all know her face has been tweaked to death but it look’s very long.Sort of like Cher’s.What ever she did to her mouth was a big mistake.
Morticia didn’t looked that miserable.
And (the original) Morticia was beautiful…
I was going to say Elvira, but Morticia is better.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Wolf Blitzer in her Balmain dress.
She looks better than she usually does, except for the $600 bunny slippers.
Omg, that was $6000?!? Is she out of her MIND?
yes, more money than taste. the designer was prob laughing his/her butt off. that fool paid 6k for my shoes!
Those two questions are not mutually exclusive, but YES and YES.
I tend to convince myself that these celebrities especially ones as greedy and money hungry as the K Klan rarely pay for anything, she probably got them for free so other suckers can go out and by them at that extortionate price.
40 lbs of fur like she’s in the Iditarod race, and then single strap sandals with bare toes. Even if I wasn’t appalled by the fur, the stupid incongruity of seasons is beyond annoying ,
I have a feeling her mother, or possibly she and Kanye, just tell the public what the prices are so they appear richer than they really are. I believe that has been brought to light before also. Another possibility could be, designers let her “borrow” items that she will wear and parade around but she needs to return them. This is advertising for them and she, again, appears wealthier than she is because it LOOKS like she can afford them. There is no way she has the kind of money she appears to have. Why else would she be living with Mom? And dont tell me they finally moved to that fake house with the vineyard because we all know these two will never live together.
Not enough fringe. Just saying.
I saw the fringe thing too late to respond, but I was laughing so hard at the fringe diaper cover and your back and forth. That and the peek a peens. I need to read the links more often.
Yeah, Those tunics make beige booty shorts look positively buttoned-up, don’t they?
Like nun booty shorts.
Please tell me tht was suppose to be $600 and not $6,000 and I guess Kanye has her wearing black this year, does she not feel stupid.
It makes me so sad for her that with all her success (yes, I know …) and money, she is still someone’s puppet. Imagine living in such an inauthentic way that you cannot even friggin’ smile if you feel like smiling! And have to wear black all the time because someone said that’s what you should wear. What a miserable existence.
I guess the vogue covers and invitation to the met are worth it. Kim was never like this with previous partners,especially Kris Humpries she practically walked all over him, so its not really in her nature to be a submissive robot its just a means to an end where Kanye is concerned. Sad!
That dress she wore was completely wrong for a short thing like her. There is so much wrong with her look starting with her dead eyes and her lips look painful she made them so big and I cannot for the life of me see how KanYe West was given an award for being a “visionary” when nothing could be further from the truth. He is at best a lifter of other people’s ideas and designs. But he always manages to turn it into crap. Oh and if Kimmode is going to wear such dark makeup on her face, she needs to follow through with her hands. She looks two-toned all the time. Rumor has it that she is once again happily doing a spread in the nude for another magazine. That love one I believe. No one cares any more other than laughing at them both all the time.
I saw she had posted a picture and took it down in seconds.You see her standing,wearing high heel’s with her back to the camera and her leg’s sort of spread.And yes she is butt naked again.I think it is the love magazine.
Will this girl ever stop with the nudes? Remember when she said she was done with the whole “sex pot image” and doing nude shoots? LOL that didn’t last long. Does anyone want to see her nude photoshopped to death body anyways? Can’t you just go watch her porn if you want to see her naked? I don’t get it. She always waits until a “slow news week” to put out pics of herself nude. She knows she’d get zero attention when REAL stories are happening.
word:I think she might have if it wasn’t for Kanye.I think he likes to see her naked in pictures and encourages her to do them.I think he gets something out of it.This is one dysfunctional couple.
Honestly anything she wears would look 10x better if she would lighten up and smile and at least act like she’s enjoying herself.
She looks like an animal in all that fur. Who else would wear sandals in the freezing winter? Fur shoes must smell awful. Will they ever stop dressing like they’re going to a funeral?
LOL, Kaiser. I too though her hair was draping over her boobs but it is the dress’s fabric. Weird. Anyway, only she would go full-on fur and then add sandals to the mix. She disgusting and ridiculous in so many ways. SMH
And Kanye’s a visionary? Hahahahahahaha….
Shame, she used to dress somewhat pretty pre Humphries and her eyes looked alive. Now…*sigh*
Those sandals shouldn’t even be 60 cents, much less $6000.
Kim should be forced to watched videos of what happens to animals who are raised on fur farms. She is not a good person. A responsible, caring person would never wear fur. Kim STOP with the fur already.
+10,000!
Totally agree, it’s vile and somehow is still an industry that is allowed to continue. She is exactly the kind of vain person who would wear fur and have no problem…disgusting.
I think this might look good at first glance, since you can’t really see anything because they’ve blended in with the background. But look at the HQ pics, ugh.
Once I saw a side by side of her and Conchita Wurst and now I can’t unsee it.
Is that a German/Spanish sausage brand?
Noooo – not really:
“Although individuals who identified as LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) had appeared on Eurovision Song Contest before – most notably Israel’s Dana International, who won in 1998 – Wurst’s appearance was described by the New Statesman as the “most genderqueer yet”.” [From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conchita_Wurst ]
On stage a person in a very feminine, very glamorous dress with a proud beard.
Totally confusing for eastern europeans. At that time.
Kanye looks like a homeless man in the airport pictures. Is her hair in front of her dress or is it all behind? Her eyes look as blank as her sunglasses, so there’s no difference if she wears them inside at night or not at all
It’s really hilarious now cos Kim’s gallery on Stylebistro used to be one of my favorites back before her sham 2nd marriage. She used to dress so well for her figure, smiled often and had light in her eyes. Now she is the stark opposite of her former self.
She looks like a wax figure of herself in that outfit.
That’s because now she is ‘fashion’. Dumbasses think you can’t compete with the outfit by exhibiting any human qualities.
You’re so right. Kim used to dress really nice and looked so much better when she actually wore color, especially jewel tones and other colors that flatter dark hair and olive skin. I just recently saw some pictures of her from her Reggie Bush days and I have to say, hate or love her, I really think she was gorgeous back then. Definitely a far cry from whatever the hell is wrong with her face and her terrible, unflattering clothing choices these days.
While at least she is covered up, the dress is too long and she is spilling over the waistband. You would think both of them would smile if for no other reason than he won an award.
That is a face only a mother could love
Especially when mom makes the big $$ from it. If their daughter never sees them smile, how screwed is that?
Or if their child never sees them at all…
She looks terrible. The all-nude makeup and center-parted hair do her no favors. And that dress has obviously not been fitted to her body. The shoulders are too wide, sleeves too long, and it puckers around her waist, and it’s just too long. The fabric is cheap looking, too. Their lack of smiles also make them look ridiculous. Fashion ain’t that serious, try-hards!
+1,000
They’re as fashion forward as my granny’s muu-muus.
Yes, this looks like she is a hair wrap.Filling, you ask? Ego, stupidity, and gaucherie, with a dash of delusion. DOn’t get me started on those shoes. This woman is just awful.Maybe one day they will make a pot big enough and the bunny world will have its revenge by popping her into it.
that dress is made for someone who is at least 6 ‘ tall …and skinny …the bottom is so long they have hiked up the top of the skirt under that wide waist band and you can see the puckers were it is slipping down because it hanging on the ground and every step she takes its being pulled down by her feet….the sleeves are down to her fingertips and she is really cliche in that thing cause her waist is bulging out at the pee a boo hole on the sides……but it is not the dress that has my attention…its the face……Her eyes are complete dead and blank….she is on auto pilot clinging on to Kanye to keep upright….DM has boogles of audience shots and her body is there but her mind is blowing in the wind……or Paris were they will show up next …can’t let Momma and Kendall have the spotlight even if Momma is trying her hardest to snatch it from her…Bye the way Kris has a new name as of today…..Darth Vader’s mother….for the all black leather outfit she wore out….LOL
Jeepers, she is literally walking on dead bunnies.
I guess her style inspiration in 2015 is Cruella Deville.
Yes. Her feet looks like one of those high-speed nature programs where dead animals rot. So, trailing black outfit, dead animals underfoot, and blood injections… Her current plan to stay rich and young definitely involves Satanism, no?
She’s worn those bunny fur sandals before. Not a good look. The dress is not that bad, but for her height and the length of the dress, something is just off. We’re supposed to blame Kanye right?
Yea ! thats the impression they want you to believe that Kanye “genius ” mind that tells her how to dress…but he would care less …look at how he dresses and when he’s not around her and off on his trips he wears colors and dresses differently from when he is around her…..No this is all Kardashian Spin….This is a woman who is afraid of color….any color would distract from her face and body and that is a huge NO ! in her world …Kourtney is the only one who will wear color in that family……This is part of the marketing of the Kardashian image…..its their trademark…Only black and white….and sometime beige….
LOL yeah I know. Whenever Kim dresses bad I blame HER not Kanye. These women love to blame men for everything…they ain’t foolin me!
I was being sarcastic. Kim didn’t tweet “Kanye is helping me with my wardrobe for 2015” for nothing. It’s so he can get the blame if she has another year of flops ! These women only like to take credit when things are done right (which is almost never). When things are going wrong, it’s always the man’s fault.
PLEASE tell me this is NOT some Riccardo Tisci prank dress. Oh, it’s an Olivier Rousteing getting in on the pranking. Naughty Frenchmen!
My friend was behind them at baggage claim and is just out of frame in those photos. She sent me cell phone pics of them and Kanye is more of a shrimp than I realized.
It’s like these two are a habitual SNL skit. Who can take them seriously? I laugh whenever these two try hard…which is always.
Ewwwwww
Um, nope. She looks like a curtain.
She’s either drugged to high hell or her cheek implants/fillers/whatthef*ckevers are so jacked that she can’t open one of her eyes as wide as the other. Wonky McValtrex, meet Wonky McZanax.
Please. I just don’t get it. Do these two ever actually go back and look at these photos and think “we look good!”?. They look ridiculous. He looks like a homeless person that has piled on every piece of clothing he owns and why are his pants ALWAYS half stuffed into those boots that never go with what he is wearing? And her pants? Can you imagine sitting on an airplane for any amount of time in those and not wanting to scream? I’d like to see her peeling those sweaty stuck on slacks off in the hotel room. Comedy gold.
I will give faint praise for KK covering herself in the Morticia dress (great call by the way). The bunny shoes are wrong and stupid on so many levels but hey, that’s KK. Can I also note, in the photo of KK and Jeezus in the airport, is it just me or do these two have zero chemistry with one another?
I actually (sometimes) like the clothes Kim wears. Her clothes aren’t that bad. Kim just doesn’t know how to wear them or seemingly wears the wrong too sizes to small stuff. This dress for example is not right for her it just makes her look huge all over. I get that the piece of skin showing was probably a design in the dress but here it looks like a can of pillsbury biscuits that you start to peel and it pops and a little bit of the dough starts showing.
They look ridiculous
Why does she insist on wearing high-necked tops and dresses? With that boobage it’s such a no go. Ugh.
Also, wearing dead animals is disgusting. I don’t care if it’s in the shoes, a whole coat or just the small “fake” fur thing (which is in many cases not fake but dog fur from china!) on the hood of a jacket.
Booberella (Simpsons Elvira)
Are these two trying to be The Black Adams Family or something? With their stupid (lack of) expression and their fug clothes?
For the love if GOD, people!
Kim’s face is horrible at this point. I don’t know if it is the makeup, or how dark everything is, or her horrifically, unflattering, blunt hairstyle, but her face now looks like a mask. She looks ridiculous in these high-cut, floor length dresses she keeps wearing that look horrendous on her short and stumpy frame. Just FUG. Period. End of discussion.
Does Kim even wear closed-toe shoes anymore? Has anyone else noticed that she only wears sandals pretty much since she has been with Kanye? WTF is that about? Not only is it RIDICULOUS to wear fur at all, but the fact that she actually wore those hideous, stupid shoes to DC where temps were in the 30s or lower as if they are her winter shoes because they have a fur lining boggles my mind. These two are such a joke with their lame attempts at being fashionable 24/7.
