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.

Another success for Kim?

Confession: I'm not the sharpest when it comes to finance. Don't get me wrong, I know the basics, thanks to SavvySugar, but I want to learn more about investing my hard-earned money.

Look #1, created by cnyc1a, is tailored and timeless. Love the blazer.

Tell me, which Rosario Dawson look do you prefer?
