These are photos of Kim Kardashian at yesterday’s Vera Wang show. Kim and Beyonce were both in attendance, and according to reports, they arrived at the same time with their entourages, and a major kafuffle ensued. Kim was wearing Vera Wang – and I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a Wang gown look worse. Why does Kim look so… lumpy? Is she wearing Spanx? Any kind of support garment? Is it just the design of the dress that makes a curvy “size 4” woman look like lumpy crap?
Vera Wang designed Kim’s wedding dress, so it makes some kind of sense that Kim would make her cat-faced way to the runway show. But Kim is also being criticized, not only for her lumpy, cat-faced appearance, but for showing up in a full-length gown. The Vera Wang show was held during the day… so Kim basically got all dolled up in a gown for a day event lasting about twenty minutes. Ugh. Of course, it might not have been Kim’s fault – Vera might have sent Kim this particular dress to wear, and Kim just complied.
But Kim thought she was like Cleopatra. Because Cleopatra was a cat-faced Botox monster married to a big lug?
[From Kim’s Twitter]
Ugh. Whatever. Look at her cat-face.

Trying that hard, all the time must be exhausting.
I don’t get Kims look.
Im not a hater on her, but her aesthetics…I don’t get her appeal from both men and women
Ummm, perhaps you you should read up on your history. Not only was Cleopatra a “cat-faced Botox monster”, she had Vera Wang on speed dial. At least Cleopatra felt enough shame to commit suicide when her sex tape “accidentally” surfaced. Other than that, the comparison is dead on.
As much as I dislike Katface Lardassian: I like the dress and don’t see the “lumpy”.
Seriously, you like the shiny pink mess Christina Hendricks wore but hate on the Vera Wang?
The outfit is meh, nothing new.
The lipstick is amaizing, love it!
But why for the love of everything good and pure does. she. look. ASIAN?!!
Can surgery really make you look that way?
Her face is frozen in that pose. Maybe she means she’s like Cleopatra in her mummified state.
I think she looks beautiful. Stop being such a hater!
OMG where do I start? The dress hideous and doesn’t fit her properly. Bad tailoring is a curse and for a bitch with money should be able to have that straightened out no problem. You can’t just throw on designer gowns, but people do and it kills me. Her boobs look a mess. OMG Bad shoe choice. Don’t like the jewelry choice.
I like her makeup but it doesn’t go with the look at all. This is the first, probably like 3rd time where I have thought her face looks snatched!!! Like really snatched. Like someone snatched her face back and clipped it back like you do hair. OMG. Fail from head to toe.
Her lashes creep me out! And what’s up with that tight pulled back hair? Does your face collapse if u let it down? Gives me headache just from watching…
I knew she was going for that egytpian emrpess look!
Poor Cleopatra must be spinning on her grave
…isn’t she the person who said the worst thing in the world was when people didn’t match their foundation correctly? Wellllll….her face is about a shade too light and too pink. I guess being perfect all the time really IS hard, KK! Also, she looks like she has TERRIBLE posture. She looks…slumpy. Slouchy and lumpy 🙂
It’s a lovely color and dress, but her posture is terrible!
LOL @ brin spot on !
My first thought was why is her dress wet at the bottom around that one leg.
Then I realised that its was probably a lighting thing.
That ponytail is pulled so tight it could explain the extra cat face in this case.
Cleopatra my ass, she is no Jewel of the Nile
I didn’t know Cleopatra wore Vera Wang.
I don’t think she looks horrible but not great either.
Models are 6feet tall for a reason, some clothing just doesn’t look as good on a curvy 5foot woman…… must spend most of her time getting made up, with husband Kris bringing her coffee
This woman would literally die without constant attention. Truly, like a withering vine, she would perish if the limelight were taken away from her.
It appears that every waking minute is spent feeding her ego!
We’ve had enough. Please, please stop covering her — even your negative commentary adds to her relevance.
This also applies to me — so, I’m done!!
I think she looks dumpy in this dress. There must be a reason why this chick wears so much makeup. Maybe she is hiding something?? Perhaps it is her ugly soul?
@Robin: I’m with you on this. She needs all this attention to go on just like a drug addict needs their next fix! This is my very last comment on this famef*cker!
Diggin’ the orange-toned red lipstick. Nice touch. Especially as contrast to the blue.
@Kaiser Are you going to cover Beyonce and the shower-curtastic disaster she wore to this same show? Kim must have been livid that Bey and her Beybybump stole her thunder.
I agree with the hair comments. I am so over her “pulled back till ya look Asian” hairstyle. It reminds me of being a kid, when your mom put the rubberband in so tight your temples wrinkled in protest and you got a headache from your ponytail. Loosen up, Kim-o.
She looks really overdressed. I’ve been seeing people that are of rank in the fashion industry and they look nice, but they aren’t wearing evening gowns. They look put together. She looks washed out and like she is trying not to pucker her lips after eating a lemon. And I am hating all her buns she is doing lately. I already don’t like her in general, but she much be beyond delusional to believe she is like Cleopatra.
She doesn’t look lumpy to me at all…
But the mouth still irks me. Again, it looks like she is sucking in her cheeks all the time.
(1) I like the dress
(2) I hate the earrings and shoes
(3) She probably wore a long dress due to her psoriasis on her legs
(4) She actually looks good here – sophisticated and not trampy.
She’s definitely using spray-on foundation. It makes your face look flawless but also “unreal” like a china doll. I know because I’ve used it. Up close she will look like she has a liquid layer of make-up on (it looks weird). But in photos, flawless!
She is completely overdressed for this show.
Vera has some beautiful separates or even a couple of contemporary dresses in her collection that Kim should have worn.
And yes, Beyonce’s dress was… something… even something is more appropriate than Kim’s choice.
Whoever said Kim thinks she’s suddenly royalty (it was on a post yesterday) is bang on.
i think the dress fits her very much, she looks good.
“Because Cleopatra was a cat-faced Botox monster married to a big lug?”
Ummm… yeah, kind of. I’d take out “Botox monster” but according to Cassius Dio, Cleo loved her some eyeliner. And Mark Antony wasn’t exactly a poet you know…
The difference is that Cleopatra was supposed to be endlessly classy and intelligent.
(Excuse me, I have a Classics degree and all I can do with it in this day and age is correct people’s preconceived notions of Cleopatra and be that bitch who points out historical inaccuracies in Gladiator.)
Addition to my previous comment #21: Ooops sorry you already covered that. My mistake 🙂
I think she is trying to get a part in the new Cleopatra movie.
Watch your back Jolie!
I think she looks really good.
since when does Vera Wang sell out to this shiz?
The chick in the first picture with Kim sure is pretty.
@Mika–can I just tell you how much I love that someone with a classics degree is hanging around on CB? I’m a college prof with a PhD in ancient philosophy, and I kind of love knowing that other geeks think it’s fun to dish dirt about celebs. If I told my colleagues how much I love Celebitchy, they’d look down their noses at me!
Kims post surgery eyes are kind of scary looking. Her foundation is too light and] its applied in her hairline, you can tell because her scalp is about two shades darker than her foundation.
wtf is up with her eyelashes??? I cannot belieive she thinks they look good – horrific!!!
1. Cleopatra was Greek not Armenian.
2. no way would Kim keep the nose cleo had.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra
I am perplexed. Doesn’t this girl see her pics online (like the 2nd one in this article…the kat-faced one)? SHE LOOKS LIKE AN EFFIN FREAKAZOID! I really got grossed out looking at this post.
@ Lindy & Mika I have a PhD in archaeology, and I’m sure there are many other geeks out there who love Celebitchy, so don’t worry, you’re not alone 🙂
I don’t see anybody else there in an evening gown. Being around her must be totally exhausting. I picture that you could be on fire sitting next to her and she wouldn’t notice because she’s always too busy posing. I wonder if she EVER has a thought about the world situation, charity, any other living creature on earth?
Although she was trying to channel Cleopatra in this look I wish she would try to soften her features instead of piling on ridiculous amounts of eyeliner & exaggerating those lashes. Her face looks strong every time because of those. I guess the words “less is more” does not mean anything to her.
I also think she could have carried the dress well if she straightened her body, I do believe she’s hunching?

Ugh, that third picture really annoys me. She looks like an angry cat looking for prey.
She used to be prettier, I think. I’ve never liked the girl, but she looks so ridiculous. The lips would have looked so much better as a softer color… and I just don’t see any Cleopatra connection…
What is up with those lips? It looks like someone glued them to her face… they stick out so far.
I think the woman to her left in the first pic is more naturally attractive and she is not even trying. If she were, she would totally rock that mess of a dress.
The dress would be lovely on somebody TALLER. That dress is wearing her and her FACE…WTH!!?? Her eyes are almost shut she’s been injected with so many fillers.
I think her face does not move, at all!
I think the reason she is pulling her hair back like that is to take a break from the four lbs of hair extensions she usually wears. That stuff is bad for your hair to wear it all the time. Girls I know that wear that stuff rest it every so often so it want break their hair off…
I *like*, don’t love, the dress — nothing that hasn’t been done a gazillion times over since the 80’s. Do love the color tho. Overdressed, but who cares, better than underdressed.
But her face, wow, so unfortunate. She looks so plastic, vacant & stepford-y, I mean more than usual. Definitely had some extra fillin’ there. Combined with the bad outfits from other days, this hasn’t been a good NYFW for her.
i think her Cleopatra comment isn’t alluding to history but to Elizabeth Taylor Cleopatra. She had a photoshoot/interview in Harper”s Bazaar [ i subscribe, is my excuse for knowing this]in which she was made up and styled in this way. The writer, or possibly twitter fan of ET, tried to get ET to comment but instead She slapped KK down for the presumption.
whenever I see or hear Kim K, i just think of how sad it is that she is completely vapid. She is very beautiful but her eyes are so empty of intelligence.
anyway…I like the dress but not with those shoes.
what is up with the “tarantula” eyelashes? Kim is one of my favorite celebs but the eyelashes are a bit much for me…didn’t pay much attention to the dress bc of them…
I think the dress is beautiful but the shoes are clunky. She needs a feminine stiletto with no strap. Her eyelashes look terrible. Way too long.
Gah!!!! The lipstick & the dress colors paired!!
Then the shoes!!! And the hair!!!
The horror of it all.
@ Mika; speaking of Classics, don’t you think she looks closer to the Nefertiti figurehead than Cleopatra?
The slanted look of the eyes is definitely Botox.
And she wears a huge weave, too. (In the hair as well as the eyelashes.)
It must be exhausting being so vain/fake.
Can you imagine the hours of deconstruction, taking this look apart?
tragic…Kim your fifteen minutes are ticking…
Jackass.
Ok, i cnt stand Kim and i wish she would get a talent instead of just being a “celebrity”, but even when her outfits are ugly, she rocks the HELL out of em! her body is amazing and even if she looks like a cat….shes the sexiest cat Ive ever seen!
I love the dress – think it looks great on her. lumpy is a bit harsh! her face looks crazy, she looks so much better with less makeup
Oh and i love the shoes, they look great with it
@Mika, Lindy and Cherry:
Hooray! Other geeks/nerds with similar academic interests reading CB! Mika, you have no idea the thrill I got looking through the comments page of a Kardashian post of all places and finding a mention of Cassius Dio. It’s the small things that makes my day lol. And I’m also the person who points out the historical/mythological inaccuracies/deviations in films – I nearly gave myself an aneurysm watching “Clash of the Titans”.
But I digress, she WAS attractive. Now… looking at her, the word “tacky” comes to mind, just based on my own personal aesthetics. I don’t know why but the fault does not lie in the dress but how she has worn it. She just has this uncanny ability to make even couture look cheap.
@LAK – it actually does. But I still like the bust better.
@Mika – MA had his flaws.. let’s face it, historians painted him a a brute. But I’d still prefer him over Kris Humphries.. ugh it irks me that he and Kris Jenner have my name.
i sure don’t see a cat. cats are pretty. and furry. all i see here is a sumo wrestler. with 2 tarantulas on his face.
She looks really very pretty for a change.
The dress is for a model like type of figure. A tall lean gal should wear it. If itw as shorter, it will be better for her figure as it would give the illusion of more leaness and length on the legs.
The problem is Kim is short and curvy on the thick side down the waist line, hence if she chooses those dresses made for tall lean amazones, she will look stocky in it.
Also, the shoes are also tacky and don’t compliment the dress. A bright color like green, red or purple would have been better for the dress.
Finally, her poses, her facial expressions are stupid. She is trying way too hard to give a certain sultry look and she fails each and every time.
I don’t care what she wears, she always looks like she’s wearing cheap clothes; especially her own line!
Tragic- always tragic
I think she is beautiful whether she is all made up or going out sans makeup. Lucky chick. I can’t say I would wear what she does, but it fits her.
This is the third time I’ve seen people criticize a celebrity for looking “Asian.” Yesterday it was Renee Zellweger b/c of her “squinty eyes.” Check your obnoxious stereotypes at the door please. Would you say someone with big lips looked African? BTW technically, Kim is half Armenian so yes she is indeed Asian.
she’d benefit from skipping mascara on the lower lashes. yikes!
god i hate her i am so tired of the kardashians
@ 55 LAK: Now that you’ve mentioned it, with the heavy eye-make up, and that thing on her head (what is that, her actual hair? I hardly think so)- it’s not a spitting image, but sure. Kim sort of looks like the Nefertiti bust. Don’t tell her that, though.
I love that dress. Not particularly on her, but the color and the design are awesome. What’s with her face?!?! It looks more and more jacked every time I see it. It looks so stretched/tight across her skull. Woof.
God, another cheap, faux Halston-look. Her goddess-vibe is out-of-date. Her make-up is flawless, if not overdone.
