Kim Kardashian Wears Tight Kardashian Kollection Dress, Flip Flops

Saturday, June 1st, 2013

If there’s one thing Kim Kardashian loves, it’s a tight mini-dress. The pregnant reality star ran errands in Encino, Calif., May 30 wearing a Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins bodycon sheath that retails for $ 69. Rocking a fishtail braid, the mom-to-be completed her look with a black blazer and flip flops. (She gave up wearing high heels in late March.)

“While it’s the season for colorful and bright clothing, it’s just as chic to wear black and white pieces,” Kanye West‘s baby mama blogged May 24. “There is something so simple and sophisticated about the combination. In the evening or even during the day, these colors will always work and look good on any figure!”

During her first two trimesters, the 32-year-old TV star had a tough time embracing her new curves. “I struggle to find things that don’t make me look heavy,” she blogged March 1. “Some days, my baby bump really shows, and some days it doesn’t . . . so I never really know what I’m going to look like.”

Though her body has  often been bullied online — one internet meme equated Kardashian’s Cedrice Charlier dress to Shamu –  the entrepreneurial California girl has learned to ignore her critics. In fact, her mom Kris Jenner says she’s feeling more feminine than ever. “She’s just embracing this whole thing,” the matriarch tells Us Weekly in its May 20 issue. “It just makes me very proud. She’s happier than she’s ever been.”

Khloe Kardashian Says She Didn’t Love Sister Kim’s Met Gala Dress

Friday, May 31st, 2013

Even if Kim Kardashian “loved” her Met Gala 2013 dress, her sister, Khloe, is singing a slightly different tune. While talking to Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on the TODAY Show Wednesday, May 29, the 28-year-old was asked about her pregnant sister’s much-talked about (and continually dissed) floral dress.

“Um, you know what?” Khloe said carefully, as the picture of Kim wearing the Riccardo Tisci-designed Givenchy floral-print gown appeared on the screen. “I think Kim is beautiful. I wish, like, the gloves … I just felt like it was too covered somehow, just because her body, her boobs, her belly … just all looked like one.”

Indeed, the said dress caught a lot of flack for the reality TV star, even drawing comparisons to an upholstered couch. Kim, for her part, didn’t seem to let the online critics bother her. A pal insisted to Us Weekly at the time, “She loved the dress just the way Riccardo designed it for her.”

Regardless of Khloe’s thoughts on the frock, the former X Factor host wants to make sure her sister feels beautiful at all times — no matter what she’s wearing. Just this past Sunday, May 19, the Khloe and Lamar star slammed people who were criticizing Kim’s pregnant body, calling them “scum” in a supportive blog post.

“I find it disturbing that society loves to critique a woman’s shape,” Khloe wrote. “That is low in and of itself, but I cannot tolerate one more vicious attack on my sister!”

She added, “Kim, you may be one of the strongest people I know. I have no idea how you endure such abuse but still smile and shine everyday. I commend you for not putting your head down and going into hiding like so many would.”

Kim, currently dating Kanye West, is seven-months pregnant.

Peek-a-boo! Kim Kardashian nearly suffered a major wardrobe malfunction during an outing in Beverly Hills on Wednesday, May 29, but, fortunately, it turned into a cute Marilyn Monroe moment instead.

The pregnant reality star, 32, was on her way to La Scala restaurant when her black and white striped maternity dress blew up in the wind. Luckily, the dress didn’t fly up high enough to flash her bare baby bump to photographers, and Kardashian managed to laugh off the incident.

The stylish mom-to-be, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West in July, paired her baby doll dress with a black blazer. She accessorized the pregnancy ensemble with comfortable flat sandals, and carried a large black handbag.

Nearing the end of her pregnancy, Kardashian has been wearing true maternity style dresses rather than tight outfits. On May 28, she styled a blouse-y short white dress to accommodate her growing bump.

Eva Longoria Risks Another Wardrobe Malfunction in Sheer Black Dress With Plunging Neckline: Picture

Monday, May 27th, 2013

Mon dieu! Although Eva Longoria tweeted that she’d have no more wardrobe malfunctions after she flashed her lady parts in Cannes on Saturday, May 18, she came just a little too close to suffering another embarrassing moment at the Global Gift Gala on Sunday, May 19. 

PHOTOS: Most embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions ever

Choosing to wear underwear this time — and wanting the whole world to know, Longoria donned a sheer black dress with a plunging neckline, her black panties clearly visible to onlookers. She was able to prevent a nip slip, however, thanks to strategically-placed circle designs over her chest area.

An unfazed Longoria, 38, easily rocked the sexy outfit, showing off her toned stomach and legs underneath the floor-length dress. She completed the risque look with a high bouffant, half-up hair style. 

PHOTOS: Cannes 2013 — what all the stars are wearing

It’s not the first time Longoria took a risk while wearing a low-cut black dress. At the Golden Globes in Hollywood in January, the gown’s plunging neckline led to an unfortunate nip slip.

At Cannes, the former Desperate Housewives actress was all smiles while wearing the see-through number at the Global Gift Gala event, which she has organized since 2011. The initiative has benefited more than 10 foundations and has raised over $ 12 million.

Farrah Abraham Wears Demure White Dress, Developing New Reality Show

Sunday, May 26th, 2013

Farrah Abraham isn’t usually one for subtlety, but she made a rare exception on Tuesday, May 21. In New York City to promote her explicit sex tape, Farrah Abraham Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom, the 21-year-old wore a demure white dress and a blue cardigan for a series of radio interviews. “Exciting day!” she tweeted. “Have a good day.”

PHOTOS: Biggest Teen Mom moments

Abraham had lunch at popular Mexican restaurant Dos Caminos with an unidentified male pal. She also tweeted a picture with Dr. Shawn Sadri, a cosmetic and general dentist based in New York City and L.A. “Love my smile,” the former MTV reality star wrote in the caption. “Great service.”

Later that day, Abraham confirmed reports that she is working with Spinboi Films to develop a new reality docu-soap. “Get ready for better TV,” the My Teenage Dream Ended author tweeted. “The news is true.”

PHOTOS: Young Hollywood moms

In Us Weekly‘s May 27 issue, Abraham responds to the backlash she’s received after making a sex tape with porn star James Deen. “People are saying stuff like, ‘Farrah’s a slut, Farrah’s a whore.’ I’m like, ‘I don’t usually have sex!’” she insists. “I don’t have time to be sexual. There has been about a four-year dry spell.”

PHOTOS: Dramatic Teen Mom updates

Abraham, who was arrested for DUI in March and pleaded not guilty, tells Us she has no intention of ever doing another XXX movie. “I’m not choosing that life. I’m getting an online master’s in business communication and I want to open a modern fusion restaurant in Austin that has a drunk driving campaign to help people make good choices,” she says. “I really want to change the world.”

Nicole Kidman Didn’t Wear Anne Hathaway’s Discarded Oscar Dress in Cannes: Rep

Saturday, May 25th, 2013

True: Nicole Kidman looked absolutely stunning and regal in an ivory lace Valentino Haute Couture gown at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Nebraska on Thursday, May 24. False: Kidman’s dress was the same Valentino frock that another A-list actress, Anne Hathaway, originally planned to wear to the 2013 Academy Awards before an infamous, and rather emotional, dress switch-up.

PHOTOS: Cannes Film Fest fashion

Despite much speculation to the contrary, a spokesperson for Valentino tells Us Weekly exclusively that Kidman’s Cannes look is, in fact, not the same dress that Hathaway discarded last minute. Although similar, Hathaway’s original Valentino dress (below) had distinctive differences from the one chosen by Kidman.

PHOTOS: How Nicole’s face has changed

As exclusively revealed by Us Weekly, Hathaway decided at the 11th hour to wear a Prada gown instead for what was ultimately her Oscar-winning night. The reason? Hathaway’s Les Miserables costar Amanda Seyfried planned to wear an Alexander McQueen frock that was remarkably similar. Discovering Seyfried’s choice the day before the big night, Hathaway “started throwing a fit!” a source told Us at the time.

Hathaway even acknowledged the switch-up at the time in a public statement. “It came to my attention late Saturday night that there would be a dress worn to the Oscars that is remarkably similar to the Valentino I had intended to wear, and so I decided it was best for all involved to change my plans,” the actress, 30, said. “I deeply regret any disappointment caused.”
