A few weeks ago, Kim Kardashian stepped out in a NSFW vintage Mugler gown which was ridiculous, hideous and inappropriate. It wasn’t that she was “spilling out” of the dress, it’s that she looked completely obscene and uncomfortable. We didn’t even cover those photos, because GROSS. But it served as another reminder that Kim Kardashian does not know what she’s doing sartorially. Remember, she started out as a “stylist” back in the day. That’s the thing about it too – go back and look at photos of Kim circa 2007-2010, all the pre-Kanye stuff. She looks so much prettier and more comfortable. Nowadays she looks like an overinflated blow-up dolls in sh-tty couture. But the high priestess of fashion, Anna “Nuclear” Wintour thinks Kim’s style transformation is worthy of praise. O RLY? Wintour praised Kim during this week’s episode of Go Ask Anna (for vogue.com).

Anna on Kim’s style: “Kim of all of them I feel has possibly changed the most… I personally admire the way she has become a little bit more minimal in the way that she’s dressing and a little bit more covered.”

She admires the way the KarJenners built their empire: “You have to admire how they have created an empire obviously through their personalities and creative genius of their mother [Kris Jenner]. And how they live the way they do, I can’t possibly understand or fathom living so much in the public eye. But obviously it works.”

Anna thinks Kendall Jenner is very successful: “So obviously the Kardashian that we’ve had the most experience with at Vogue is Kendall. People thought that she wouldn’t last and I give her a lot of credit for persevering in her successful modeling career.” Jenner’s ambition and drive reminds Wintour of iconic ’90s supermodel Linda Evangelista. “I see Kendall very much in the same way. Linda was happy being a model. I think maybe some of the other girls that came up at that time wanted other careers, whereas Linda loved being a model. [Kendall]’s very open and very direct in the way she talks about how she just wants to be a model, that she enjoys being a model, that she has worked hard at it. And I hope that she continues and keeps up the pace.”

Re: Kendall just wanting to model… I legitimately think that Kendall has nothing else to offer. Literally, all she can do is stand around and look dead-eyed. But I understand Anna’s point, it’s interesting that there are a few current models out there who just want to model and they don’t secretly want to be actresses, writers or Leo’s girlfriend.

As for what Anna says about Kim… Anna is just talking out of her ass. Kim looks like ten kinds of hell on most red carpets these days. The “minimalism” Anna is praising is mostly because Kanye prefers when Kim wears black, white or silver, and when she wears really high-end stuff… which rarely fits her, because that stuff was not made for short women with hourglass figures like Kim. Kim would look a million times better if she stopped allowing Kanye to style her and wore some styles that suited her figure.
