Trust Kim Kardashian to take an ensemble as transgressively chic as the women’s tuxedo and turn it into something tacky.
The reality star-turned-entrepreneur arrived at the Create and Cultivate women’s conference in LA Saturday in a satiny black “Le smoking” — an attempt to dress on-theme for the professional event. But she looked like a kid playing dress up.
The oversized jacket, which she wore sans shirt (of course), was ill-fitting, and not in a nonchalant, slouchy way. Her pants, jammed into ridiculous pointy-toed white booties, were no better: so large that the fabric bunched up at various points down her leg. And the gigantic early ’90s-inspired stretch headband? Tragic.
Kardashian chose to eschew the shirt part of the tux ensemble, and that’s fine. Plenty of women have donned a suit jacket and skipped the shirt; done right, it’s sharp and sexy. But the amount of boobage on display was at odds with the rest of this sloppy, ill-fitting look.
Please, Kim, we implore you: Go study some photos of Marlene Dietrich and Evan Rachel Wood before trying this again.
