Kim Kardashian's One-Shoulder Dress: Love It or Hate It?

July 18, 2009

Kim Kardashian's been on our radar for her suddenly sophisticated fashion choices. For the Diamond Empowerment Fund event in South Africa, the beauty wore an interesting one-shoulder corset dress (perhaps a custom piece from Ports 1971?) and matching gladiator platform sandals. The hue is perfection against her olive complexion, but I'm not too sure about the severely studded belt. It definitely gives her a tough-girl aura, but the contrast is too stark for my taste. Another success for Kim?

i like it a lot, love the belt and shoes, but the top half of the dress kind of makes it look like it's falling off her front.

Kim Kardashian would look great wearing a garbage bag with a duct tape belt. This particular dress isn't the prettiest frock I've ever seen her wear but it does have a She-rah goddess kind of look,which is cool . The dress looks like it slipped down a bit and now her bra is showing. The shoes are sweet.

"I thought it was Ports 1961. It's shocking how little you seem to know about fashion." One little error and Anonymous (coward) gets so high and mighty. No one like a know it all.
