Kim Kardashian and Kanye West came out to the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Do you ever wonder if Kanye is actually well-received at these kinds of events? Yes, he gets celebrities to come out to his Sunday Service stuff, but what happens if he tries to prosthelytize at the VF Oscar party? While wearing a vinyl suit?? I wonder if A-list celebrities talk to Kim. Probably, right? At this point, most celebrities will probably say hi and chat with her. Kim wore this Alexander McQueen gown which looks like a vintage/archive piece. She paired it with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and wet-look hair (gross). Kanye’s suit is by Dunhill.
Emily Ratajkowski in a tube top and a skirt in off-white. I don’t have the ID on this but it is… on-brand for Emily. She loves to wear body-baring stuff, especially to the VF party. It would be more groundbreaking at this point for her to turn up in something with sleeves and high collar.
Mindy Kaling in Reem Acra – I was a big fan of Mindy’s Oscar look (mustard D&G) and I get why she changed, but this is just kind of meh. On the plus side, it looks really comfortable and the purple is very pretty. I’m still going to need her to STAHP with BJ Novak though. Enough. I want to sit Mindy down and play Selena Gomez’s “Lose You To Love Me” on repeat until she GETS it.

I loved both of Mindy’s gowns. Kim looked awful.
Mindy looked fantastic all night. Kim looked like toilet paper was hanging off of her.
Yes that is exactly what it looks like! Like her cat got into the toilet paper roll and then she decided to throw it on as a dress. And she always looks so uncomfortable, probably because she’s wearing corset and several layers of spanx.
I agree. Mindy looked especially lovely in that purple gown.
Why the hell is Kanye wearing beige suede shoes with that black costume…and why is he wearing a vinyl suit? Oh right, because Kanye.
Kim’s gown…Okay, I’m done here.
I don’t know who that Emily person is but she looked awful, like she needed a nap and shouldn’t have come straight from the pool.
Kim just looked kinda dated, like one of those soap opera stars who is stuck in the wrong decade. And her make-up is shockingly bad.
Lmao
Kim looks like Cher in a bad dress from the 80s
they both look like fragglerock. people definitely laugh behind their backs.
No no no no no to Kim and Kanye. I see toilet paper.
Also, Emily yikes ! WTH?
ME, I thought Kim looked like she just got out of the shower, realized the towels were all in the wash and covered herself in toilet paper to dry off instead. She looks so bad and Kanye in what looks like Naugahyde looks just as bad. He must be sweating like crazy. These two, Yuck!!
And she forgot to wash her hair while in that shower. She looks dated and a little bit grubby. As for her husband, well, I’m not going to criticise the mentally-challenged.
Cue Emily’s next interview about bodies within the feminism realm in 5, 4, 3…….
Kim looks like she frantically tore through crates of tampons, hosed em down and grabbed her glue gun.

Honestly, in the awful choice between having to spend 10 mins with Kim or Emily, 100% Kim. She at least knows what she’s doing and is honest about it. Emily’s endless ACTUALLY I’M POSING NAKED IN THIS DELIBERATELY SEXY POSE TO COMBAT CHILD POVERTY, SOMEHOW, HOW DARE YOU TRY TO SEXUALIZE IT is bloody annoying.
It is funny that you say that as I was just thinking that Emily’s dress would look good with Lara Dern’s Wild West brothel look.
But she didn’t say that, and has actually been pretty open and honest about her motives like most women are when it comes to these issues. The problem is that some of those motives given don’t match the narrative about What’s Best 4 Women, so it’s easier to dismiss people as lying blanks. Her look here is boring. People have a pretty difficult time proving immodest liberal women to be nothingburgers though.
haha! Deconstructed tampons is the first thing that came to mind when I saw Kim’s dress.
Also: is it body shaming if I wondered how long Emily had to forego solid food to look like that?
No short term fasting would get that body. I doubt she ate McDonalds in the car on the way there, but she’s naturally just very thin.
There was an interview some years back where an actress basically admitted they all pretty much do day long fasts with limited eating and drinking for these award shows, especially if they’re wearing slinkier gowns – and definitely major dieting in the weeks up to it. Absolutely would not shock me if Emily R was doing the same, particularly since even minor bloat is read as pregnancy these days.
It’s called sustainable design, people. She reused her home furnishings to create this masterpiece of a dress. A+ for effort, Kim! /s
At this point, Kim looks more like a mannequin and/or blow up doll: SO plastic!! (esp. considering she doesn’t smile or emote at all!). Kanye looks like a seal. Yuck.
Emily Ratawhatever: we KNOW your body is all you have to bring to the party, literally. Now, put it away for a while. Her husband *still* gives me creepy-control vibes.
Mindy looked great in the yellow gown. Not loving this one a lot (though the color is lovely). Agree with you on BJ.
Kim can’t even stand like a normal person. Her arms are always so stiff, it adds to the plastic effect.
What is this TAMPON EXTRAVAGANZA?!
And why does it have its own bodyguard?
That made me LOL!
Yes this times 100
Okay, I actually like the dress, but that is hilarious !!
Ok, here’s my quibble with Kim’s makeup. She always has the same look. I’m tired of seeing the same palette on her. It’s sooooooooooooooo boring now. Is she allergic to colour? Can’t she do something different?
She used to do red lipstick every now and then, and it looked great.
Kim’s makeup looks really heavy and that’s saying a lot.
“She’s a full on Monet. Like the paintings, see, from far away it’s okay. But up close it’s a big old mess”. – Cher, Clueless
I felt that this quote from my favorite film sums up my feelings about Kim’s dress perfectly.
What’s perfect is that it’s Kim’s favorite movie, too.
Kim’s whole look is terrible, unsurprisingly.
Emily’s is tacky. Also unsurprising.
I like Mindy’s dress a lot. Her yellow dress was a stunner though.
Agree with everything you said here!
Mindy was stunning in the yellow gown! She looked radiant!! Not crazy about the styling of this gown, but I do love the color.
In regards to Krashy and Krazy, every time the appear somewhere, it’s abysmal! They have no style or taste nor do they comprehend how ridiculous and unimportant they are! Krashy married him to up her status in the world hoping that they would compete against the Queen and Jay-Z, which would, could never happen due to their own stupidity and ego!
As for Emily, she has nothing substantial to offer so she sticks with these outlandish outfits to be noticed.
Kanye’s leather/pleather jacket without shirt makes me think of wearing running shoes without socks – yuck.
Yep,Kim is all wet looking and Kanye is wearing leather/vinyl I don’t know what -and I can’t help but think how hot and sweaty he must feel under all that.Like if she tried to sit on his lap or something she’d slide right off because they both look slippery and wet.
Cleaning up coffee off the table because the image of Kim sliding off Kanye’s lap gave me a laughing fit
Y’all my hair looked like Kim’s after a long weekend of camping and I was mortified. I can’t imagine deciding that this was the best look she could come up with and wearing it out to be photographed multiple times like this. Greasy hair is not cute.
IKR? It’ s like what your hair looks like when you’ve had the flu or a stomach virus for 48 hours and can’t crawl out of bed to shower. I’m sure it’s clean and smells lovely, because I’m also sure it has a ton of product in it, but it looks like a dirty, greasy mess. For a naturally pretty woman, she has bizarre ideas about what looks attractive.
Kanye looks good.
Kim always does this super stiff, arms just a little too far from her sides, shoulders just a little too high and hunched pose. I’m assuming it’s because she’s in clothes that are 3 sizes too small and she’s corseted and trussed up and is so uncomfortable. For someone who spends so much time in front of cameras, she sure looks awkward and uncomfortable in front of them.
That’s my thinking, too. She found the one pose that hurts the least and sticks with it. And she’s taking shallow breaths, too, ’cause deeper (or normal) will hurt.
Maybe her and BJ have an arrangement?
Bride of Frankenstein
The archive McQueen is a piece of art, but why a) they decided to let her wear? It’s clearly not her size, since it’s runway sample and it doesn’t look fit, it looks about to rip on the seams b) she just can’t flatter herself and do a good simple make up and a good simple hair? Save the greasy-bronzer-heavy look for your own show. And by this point, Kim’s fashion game is beyond Kanye, he looks horrible.
She looks trashy as hell!!!!
Emily’s look is straight outta the early 2000s. That low slung skirt. So tacky.
She looks like she’s at a pool in Vegas.
Hope nobody stepped on the edge of Emily’s dress!
Yeah it’s like fancy beach wear. Not right for this event at all.
Love Mindy’s dresses. The Kar/Jenner’s are ugly.
Kim has gained some weight lately. So have I, as usual by February I don’t give a crap. Always have that same 10 lbs to lose before we get back into boating all summer.
Anyway, the dress is way too small. First pic look at her skin under her arm literally hanging out. No good. She looked super uncomfortable and makeup way too thick
She’s got more than 10 to lose! Lol
Kim ugh. That dress is bad.
I also hate the wet look. On anyone. Unless you’re literally at a pool or some shirt.
The others were inoffensive but meh
Emily looks like she belongs at the Grammys or VMAs, not the Oscars. I love Mindy’s dress, she looks stunning. I think that is a gorgeous color on her and her mermaid hair is beautiful.
Kim K. looks like she got attacked by a feral cat who clawed the sh!t out of her dress.
Kim’s face looks ridiculous. She is morphing into her mother. They all are.
I mean, I’ve never gotten work done and the older I get the more I look like my mom too 😂
I think she means the overly done plastic facial look like Kris has
The tube top getup looks like something right out of 1999-2000!
Kim is wearing McQueens Oyster Dress. One of, if not the, most famous of his work. It is my favorite piece of clothing ever and I am very perplexed as to why they gave it to her of all people to wear. It’s wearing her! Ugh. This would have been so solid for a Charlize or similar. What a bummer it was brought out of the archives for Kim and for this event.
Saying something nice: Kim seems a student of fashion, and regardless of how we feel about Kanye and his designs, I think he is too. At least it’s being worn by someone who (I hope) understands the significance.
Thanks for the history of the dress. I googled it, and in the context it was meant to be shown, it is a beautiful dress. Apparently Kanye purchased it, so Kim now owns the gown. They obviously had to rebuild aspects of it. She’s not sample size.
Me too, I appreciate the history! The original gown(s) was/were beautiful, unique, and really evocative of the sea and the ruffled, natural texture of oyster shells. I can’t imagine the work that went into sewing each individual ruffle; they look to be silk organza, just lovely. I was lucky to see the Oscar de la Renta gown exhibit when it was touring nationally a few years back, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail was breathtaking. I’d love to see this one in person.
So sad that it was altered (not in a flattering way) for Kim to sausage herself into it. I hope she understands the significance too, but it would have been better to commission a version that could be created to fit her proportions in the way the original was fitted to the models instead of squeezing into an altered version that flatters neither wearer or creator.
And let me just say, I am far from sample-size myself! But Kim should dress for the body she has. She’s not tall, thin, or willowy. There are lots of designs that could flatter her, but she insists on wearing poorly altered couture and everything is 3 sizes too small.
They all get on my last nerve.
Kim’s foundation is so radically different to the rest of her body, it makes her head look disembodied.
Kim’s face makes me so sad. The plastic surgery and the gallons of makeup just do NOT look attractive. The body dysmorphia in that family is off the charts.
Kim’s dress reminds of those fake toilet paper dresses you do at lame bachelorette parties. Hideous.
Emily Ratajkowski looks high key trashy to me to the point of being humorless about it. This isn’t your night. Pull the f*cking skirt up to your waist where it’s meant to sit instead of precariously informing us of the extent of your wax job.
Mindy’s dress is boring but gorgeous color.
Emily Rata’s personality annoys me, but to be honest, I do find her beautiful. She managed to look incredible in that outfit, as tacky as it is. Kim K on the other hand….no! I can’t get over how bad her face looks! She looks terrible and puffy. Her looks are long gone. She looks like claymation.
I can’t unsee the fact that Kim’s dress looks like a tampon that went through a shredder..
All that money and they can’t afford to put lotion on Kanye’s ashy ass knuckles!
That’s all I’ve got.
At 1st glance, the way (everyone) was made to pose on the VF circle – probs for maximum photo opportunities. I legit thought Kim was a wax work. 🙈 Please forgive me. I know how bitchy that just sounded but everyone standing on that VF posing circle just looked weird AF to me
Actors with Kim. Well, she acted in one “movie”.. The dynamics must be interesting. She looks so uncomfortable. Emily’s half naked outfit doesn’t work for such a glamorous party.
Kim does the wet look to blend her weaves with her real hair. Because no photo shop on the red carpet. Wide as a bus.
