Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West at the Wall Street Journal’s Innovator Awards. They were there to honor Riccardo Tisci, formerly the creative chief of Givenchy and now in charge of Burberry (I’m so sorry, Burberry). His tenure at Givenchy was kind of terrible from a design standpoint, but he honestly made Givenchy “relevant” from a pop culture standpoint and really got the brand so much exposure. Plus, he’s been friends with Kanye for years and he’s tight with Kim too. I think it’s kind of cool that they came out to honor him. As for Kim’s absolutely insane ensemble… it was designed by Tisci, obvs. It’s being called a next-level (God-mode?) Canadian tuxedo with g-ddamn CHAPS. It reminds me very much of a “winning design” on Project Runway. Right??
Meanwhile, while Kim was in New York, she attended the New York Times‘ DealBrook Conference and she chatted about social media and mental health:
Kim Kardashian West believes Instagram’s decision to remove likes will improve one’s mental health. On Wednesday, the KKW Beauty mogul, 39, attended the New York Times‘ DealBrook Conference, where she opened up about the new feature Instagram is testing that hides the like and view counts of photos and videos you post from your followers. Though followers won’t be able to see the like counts during the test, users will still be able to access that information on all of their own posts.
“As far as mental health… I think taking the likes away and taking that aspect away from [Instagram] would be really beneficial for people,” she said at Lincoln Center’s Appel Room at the Time Warner Center in New York City beside her mom Kris Jenner. “I know the Instagram team has been having a bunch of conversations with people to get everyone’s take on that and they’re taking it really seriously, and that makes me happy,” Kardashian West went on.
While the mother of four said she doesn’t personally struggle with mental health issues in relation to Instagram likes, she believes that having the feature instilled will help many others who do. “I find myself to be extremely mentally strong and I have people who are obsessed with the comments, and I find that to be really unhealthy. I struggle with having to step outside of how I feel and thinking about, ‘What if one of my children was like one of my friends who wasn’t as mentally strong and would really be affected by the comments?’ That would really affect me,” she admitted.
She also spoke about how her social media habits changed after she was robbed in Paris and that after that, she’s more likely to not post on social media in real time, especially with any kind of identifiable locations. As for what she says about Instagram hiding likes… I imagine it would do something for the mental health of the youths. But it feels like it would also affect the businesses of a lot of those Instagram influencers too?

I know i should hate it and I want to…but strangely..I don’t
I don’t either? I actually think the chaps save it? Like, it’s not good…but it’s not atrocious.
So glad you said so! Like, look, I would never wear something like this but all her bits are tucked away, it’s well fit to her proportions, and her loose hair and crazy sleeves defy the odds to achieve… I dunno, romance novel heroine chic? Like she was a poor maid toiling away on a rodeo pirate ship when Kanye spirited her away to a life of luxury. And apparently that look works for her! Or just–how about this: she has worn way worse clothing, and this isn’t as hideous as some of that.
The snort laugh I needed today!
For once, she is wearing something that actually fits her. It was probably made for her as opposed to her squeezing herself into something.
It’s not the worst she has worn. It does look like something Britney would wear back in the time, so I like it.
eh, I hate it. I think it’s fug, even if it fits her and covers her up well. the one nice thing I’ll say is that blue is a good color for her.
so Ye can get dressed properly for this, but for his Sunday Service that serves a $55 Fyre Festival Brunch, he dresses in sweatpants?
I know. I wouldn’t wear it but it looks good on her.
Right!?!? I kind of like this look.
A Canadian Tuxedo is a Levi jean jacket and jeans…that outfit doesn’t come close to being a Canadian Tuxedo.
I thought it also meant double denim?
So what’s a Texas Tuxedo then? I always used to hear that term and then suddenly it just switched to Canadian.
Sticks, I think it depends on what part of the US you’re from.
I had always heard “Guido Tuxedo”, as I grew up in NJ. In the south, it’s a “Texas Tuxedo” (learned that from my college roommates – Nashville and Montgomery, AL) and when I went to Buffalo, NY, they used “Canadian Tuxedo”.
just like soda/pop/coke or hoagie/sub/hero, regional dialects etc…
Yikes. I’m sad that outfit is associated with my Country. Her face looks semi-normal though.
I also thought her face looked very pretty here.
Oh, phew. I think her face looks lovely, too. What’s she done? The outfit is just silly. *Riccardo! Dio mio, ma che cosa fai?!*
Ditto Jules, ditto.
I like this? Especially the side view of the outfit. Yee haww kimmy….
More importantly, why is Kanye wearing a shrunken blazer and why are his pants tucked into his boots?
I think Kim’s denim ensemble is rather flattering. Best she’s looked in pants in a long time.
He’s probably trying to start a trend with the tight blazer. I mean, he sets trends, yeah? His boots are new and he had to show them off. Then again, he’d worn his trackies tucked into his ugly socks for a while there, so maybe he’s got a thing for the tucked-in look.
The shrunken suit/blazer/trousers look has been around, at least on the west coast (Calif.) for a couple years now …pants cut shorter/skinnier, suit coats and blazers too short all around… to make it appear the man is wearing clothes a size or two too small. The look drives my husband (the most conservative dresser around) absolutely Ca-Raaa-Zy every time he sees it. One of our sons lives in L.A. and he’s kind of half-embraced the look (sorry hubby). I thought it would die out eventually, but it’s still going strong. Perhaps Kanye is wearing something Tisci designed to honor him?
It’s been long time since she smiled on a red carpet. I’m curious to see how Kanye’s desire for a more modest Kim plays out.
She seems more relaxed, like a person who actually could study for a law degree and enjoy a career. Maybe because the pressure is off to do non-stop meat-display and sexy face?
Perhaps K and K can make another music video. This time on a horse.
😂😂😂
LOL
I actually like this….
I like it a lot. The chaps should have been a little looser at the thighs cause there’s a bit of a sausage casing thing happening there, but otherwise it’s a really good look for Kim.
Hate it. Tacky as hell. Just like her.
Kanye’s sleeves are too short.
Nice to see them smiling but that outfit – yikes!
I like the outfit. Also, as someone trying to build a small brand on IG, looking at people considered “influencers” in my niche is actually helpful.
For example, I use the number of likes to gauge what percentage of engagement they get on posts relative to their number of followers. The number of eyes you have is less important than how many of them actually see your content. It has helped me set personal targets.
Kanye is looking better! Tbh I think if cleans up like this a bit more and gets himself back into what he used to love, like fashion and hip hop, it would turn his head around. He’s been doing what he needs for his mental health but maybe he’s been isolating himself too much.
Bonkers is right.
Lol, came here to say exactly this!
Being “strong” is not the same as being “too stupid to comprehend”.
This needs to be the headline.
Thank you!
I despise when women stand in that crossed-leg, tip-me-over way. It’s so mysoginst – -like women must be fragile and delicate and unable to stand the hell up.
That’s probably one of the least offending things she’s ever worn. It’s actually kind of boring. *shrug*
Are we allowed to mention the prominent waist roll protruding on her left side, as well as the other visible rolls nearby, a consequence of the tightness of this ensemble?
I think so. I mean, you can’t really “shame” someone who is totally shameless
Amen!!!! 🙂
Okay, then.
“The Prominent Roll at Her Waist Protruding From the Side”
Discuss.
I missed that! I never could wear Jean’s that tight, I like to be comfortable. And it doesn’t make you look thinner imo, especially when your skin hangs over the side. What are your guys’ thoughts on that?
So it’s still Halloween, right?
I think Kanye looks nice. Is Kim really as “mentally strong” as she thinks? She admitted to having an obsession with fame. If the paps stopped and people unfollowed her in the millions, wouldn’t she be devastated? I think so. Her worth is based on her popularity it seems. She’s full of sh*t if she’s trying to say she’d be perfectly fine if no one talked about her anymore.
Instagram has hidden likes in Ireland, and it’s gone really well.
They’ve been hidden in Canada too now for, I think, a year now.
And it doesn’t effect influencers. The likes are still available to the poster. Perhaps they just screencap that when submitting to get paid from the sponsor.
At least they match.
I cant believe I’m saying this but Kim and Kanye both look really good here.
Agreed
Yes they do
I don’t hate the outfit. Also, her hair looks beautiful.
I guess Kim’s new look is being covered up by lots of crazy looking material.
Kanye must love it.
No. No. No.
I actually LOLed at that first photo of the three of them. A picture of collective misery.
Thought she was the only one of the three who didn’t look wasted. Also, she’s slowly deflating the ass, so I give her credit for that.
Kim’s life revolves around likes on instagram, wtf is she talking about?
I agree with you. She thrives on the attention. As does her whole family. The thirst is real with this group. I guess this is what happens when you become who you are because of your sex tape!!! It’s actually quite pathetic.
A Canadian dinner jacket is a flannel plaid jacket ( also known as a lumberjack jacket). I guess a tuxedo is more formal so a jeans jacket is a step up from flannel. What she’s wearing is none of these!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Since she is practically always photoshopped within an inch of her life, it’s good to see the little roll she has above her jeans on her left side. Good reminder that she is human
I actually like this outfit and would definitely wear the top
I realize that it may be an odd point but the designer is in a nice well cut suit. Kanye is in a surprisingly tame suit… and then they shoved her into this denim outfit that she can barely breathe in…I mean I get that she likes to dress up but it is such an obvious power move
They both look great!!
