Please let me have this: I’ve genuinely missed writing about Kim Kardashian’s street style. Call me vapid, call me superficial, call me a Kaiser Kardashian, I don’t care. It’s been months since Kim has pap strolled down a sidewalk in some unfortunate outfit and I have truly missed it. I’m so glad she’s back! These are photos of Kim in Bel Air on Wednesday. She was flanked by bodyguards for her outing, and I truly thought that woman was Lisa Rinna, but it’s not. It’s Carole Bayer Sager.
As for Kim’s unfortunate outfit… I’m so excited we get to talk about it! When I was a kid, professionally “holed” jeans were just starting to be a thing. Like, it was a brand new movement in denim, to buy jeans that were professionally holed and ripped. I wanted a pair so badly. And my parents bought me a pair – acid washed jeans with tiny little holes and rips all over the legs. I thought they were amazing. I think I was 11 years old? Kim’s jeans are like the more expensive version of my late ‘80s jeans. And they look gloriously awful!!!
Also: some commenters suggested that Kim’s three-month absence from pap strolls and social media meant that she was recovering from some plastic surgery, perhaps even a butt surgery, like a de-butt-ification, perhaps. I think her butt looks the same? If anything, these jeans are so unflattering, it looks like she’s gained some weight. That being said, I bet she did get some face work done.
Last thing – while Kim and Kanye West spent Christmas in LA, barely communicating with each other, the Kardashian-Wests did fly to Oklahoma City for New Year’s to visit Donda West’s gravesite. They flew by private jet and TMZ reported, “We’re told it was the first time Kanye had taken the whole family to see where Donda West is buried. They hooked up with other members of the West fam as well during the trip. Kanye’s been very present with Kim and the kids over the last weeks as he recovers from his breakdown — and we’re told this family pilgrimage was extremely important to him.” Well, that’s actually really nice.

My eyes! MY EYES! Auuuuggggghhhh!
I was really hoping she would go back to dressing the way she did pre Kanye, I thought she was the most stylish while dating Reggie Bush and Humpries.
To think that the orange tan, the tasteless Louboutins, the Birkins and the bandage Legers would be the supreme of her fashion.
I just can’t with that Octo Mom-ized nose & lips. And that lank hair.
Lucite heels and moth eaten jeans. Nice. Klassy.
second pic, i really thought she looked like Octomom!!
unpopular opinion here, i can’t help but think she’s pretty, but her nose and lips are so Octomom in the picture with Old Paula Abdul.
“…Old Paula Abdul.”
Just about sprayed my screen with my tea!
IMO, the brand Kardashian is done. No one is interested anymore, no one missed her when she didn’t leave the house after the robbery etc.
JustMe, I think you are right.
I am a firm believer that if you’re old enough to remember a trend the first time around, you don’t get to wear it the second time around. That would be Kim and ripped jeans.
i get it, i do, but people have literally been saying the Kardashians are on their way out for five years at least. the fallout from the Hump wedding, getting together with kanye, the coming of Kylie, the start of new season of KUWTK (for the past five seasons)…. i mean, we say that, but they don’t stop, and we don’t stop watching. even when we say we will, or do.
it’s like every time Jen Aniston gets pregnant, the Kardashians are “over”.
I do agree with you about them not being over, but do also want to say that I’ve never watched them. The only way I know about them is from this website.
So she was so traumatized by the robbery but not enough to the point she was gonna pass up an opportunity and take advantage of that down time to get some plastic surgery?…more and more this “robbery” seems questionable…is their even an ongoing investigation in Paris still ?..maybe I’m not being fair..but compared to all the other circus acts this family has put on..I just don’t put anything past them.
Personally i think the whole robbery, if it happened, was an excuse to lay low, get surgery, rebrand herself. You see she’s changed her style
Fingers crossed. We need to stop paying attention to people like them, who don’t do anything but court attention.
Dislike the woman, love the hair. And the beautiful skin colour. Oh my. I know this sounds weird but this is the best she has looked in a long time, from my point of view. Maybe because she’s not overexposing her t&a for a change, and looks like an actual human being.
I was going to say the same… her hair is perfection and I love her makeup here too. She looks really good.
Well, lucky for all of us we can all probably buy the things you like (the hair, the skin-tone) from a Kardashian beauty/hair diffusion line in the near future, just like Kim bought them herself (although at a more luxurious price point from a more luxe supplier).
Those jeans, though…
It’s a decent wig but it would be more impressive if that hair actually grew out of her own head and not that of an Indian woman.
Exactly. Just think, some poor Indian women sold her hair so she could feed her kids. And just when I thought Kim would use the time away as a chance to reflect on how meaningless her life is. My mistake for thinking she was a living, thinking human being.
Exactly, Chrissy! I don’t understand why people so persistently ignore the ethical issues presented by hair extensions/wigs.
I read a comment on DM pointing out the same thing, Kitten and Chrissy. Kitten, I think the ethical issues are partly why so many people dislike these women so much – the wigs, the furs, crocodile bags etc.
As for the “jeans”, gosh, my cleaning rags don’t even have holes in them, and paired with those ridiculous shoes…no. I remember seeing KK a couple of times (on here, I think) in leggings or tight jeans, with a long top and appropriate shoes. Another time she had on a flowy, summery maxi-dress with cute sandals – she looked really lovely in those outfits, and should aim for those looks more often.
In Good Hair, there was a segment that covered this issue. A good deal of Indian hair is obtained from girls. The church requires some religious procedure that requires cutting off their long gorgeous hair. The church then turns around and sells the hair for profit.
The hair is sold. These women are not being scalped while they sleep. Women with health issues wear wigs, women who are growing their natural hair use wigs as a protective style. There is a purpose to this that can be deeper than vanity and not as simple as growing your own hair.
I honestly love her hair. Of course it’s not actually her real hair though
It’s obviously a good-quality wig, but it just doesn’t suit her, for the reasons already given below. My daughter has natural hair this length, but usually wears a bun for work. When she does wear it out loose, she has to suffer people – sometimes complete strangers – tugging on it, believing it’s a wig. KK looks great with shorter, loose, less severe hair styles.
Really? I can’t stand that wig. I guess it’s just me. But now that she’s not doing all the fillers, her face is longer looking and the wig drags it down, IMO. I liked her with shorter hair.
Agreed.
+1 I think she has a long face and the longhair is really unflattering too. I liked the short too! 🙂 I still think he reduced the butt. The pants make her big all around- or maybe her Indra pics are photoshopped 🙂
Same. The black center parted straight hair is too severe and Octomom-ish.
Are you kidding? The hair is a wig, those fish lips are ridiculous, the nose is starting to look like Michael Jackson’s. She is a grotesque.
Thank you.
She wears hair extensions and her skin color is made possible by a spray-on tan.
Mauled by Ferret brand?
Yes!! Or she’s been through a wood chipper.
It just looks so uncomfortable. I feel like all those little strings would be tickling me, and I would get stuck on doorknobs with all those holes.
Non functional pants to the max.
I can’t figure out how they wash such jeans. They look to be at the point where if you put them into a washer, they don’t come back out.
Maybe they’re disposable jeans. Wearing them once is enough!
Yeah she looks slightly bigger to me (not surgically, weight-wise). Doesn’t look like she got her butt “taken in” at all!
Looks like she got another nose job – this new nose is more like Victoria Beckham – check out the new nostril ‘flare’ – that was never there before.
Uggg that surgical nose flare. I call it the “clover/ shamrock nose”. The true signal of a rhinoplasty!
I’m glad she’s feeling well enough to get back to her old routines………….. I did not miss her though. Life was actually really ok without her. Poor Kylie must be shook and calling the family doctor for an a** re-up right now.
If the pants are that ripped, what’s the point?
The worst thing is ripped jeans cost much more then regular jeans.
I’ve been out of the loop but I saw a picture of her as princess jasmine and her butt was way smaller.
Definitely smaller. Same in the Christmas outfit.
She definitely got a reduction in the butt. It isn’t cartoon-like anymore. I think more plastic surgery was part of the reason for her taking a “break” from the public and social media.
There are side by side before pics from Paris where it’s sticking straight out and after candid pics from their recent Christmas party and there is barely a butt (on Bossip or Radar i think can’t remember where I saw it) She 100% got that thing reduced. It’s very very obvious when you see her profile.
This picture sure looks like that may be true.

She has all the money in the world but not fashion sense. I guess there are things money cannot buy and style is one of them.
Out of them all, Kris has the best style, 95% of times she’s better dressed than them all.
Yes, I love Kris’s style. Kim tries to be too trendy
Did I miss something? Since when does Carole Bayer hang with the Ks?
Puzzling. Does CBS have something to promote?
Is Carole Bayer Sager writing Kardashian/West musical? This looks like some research to me.
Please, please, please let that be true.
I know right? I had to look it up and found out she is painting now and they attended her art opening. She has been photographed with her at other events too. Maybe Kan’tye is getting some “help” from an award winning lyricist?
How much did those jeans cost?
Probably half of my monthly rent.
I don’t miss it, they can all go into hiding this year and I’d throw those KardashiansAreOver parties that twitter always has.

Was hard to tell in those jeans whether her butt is smaller or not. The hair reminds me of Cher. It is not good and the ends are horrible.
I did not miss her and I wish she had took all her family with her.
Ray J is now on Celebrity Big Brother in the Uk.
How he introduced himself to his house mates??
‘you probably know me for my cock’.
Pure class.
Klass.
Ugh.
Ray J is disgusting.
Cher is looking good.
She looks like she’s doing okay. Also my mom still really REALLY hates ripped jeans so I’m going to show her this pic for sure. 😛
My dad never understood purposely ripped jeans, either. They reminded him of growing up poor and having to wear mended jeans.
Uh..is she wearing clear lucite stripper heels with that hot mess of an outfit??? Why??
When I see her wear stripper heels with Adidas pants I SMH. Also look silly with these horrendous jeans
They’re from Kanye’s Kollection, I believe
Seriously! She could have paired the outfit with some old school, high-top Adidas or something and it would have been really cute.
I didn’t miss her. These jeans make it look like she got in a scissor fight with someone and lost.
The hair/wig/extensions are ridiculous. And I’d like her to raise the zipper on that jacket about two inches or so.
But whatever. I agree with the person who said Cher is looking good. She really is morphing into her.
She’s only in her mid 30s right? She looks so old from all that plastic surgery. If there was ever a PSA to not get comprehensive plastic surgery while you’re young, it is Kim and the rest of her Klan.
Oh honey, just go pantsless. We know you want to.
lol
Right? Where’s the bra and undies covered by a belted lingerie robe that she usually strolls around in? She kept the lucite heels though. I bet she was debutted during her “soul searching” phase. Still waiting for the divorce announcement. We know it’s coming despite the gravesite visit and happy family video. And I’m saving all my popcorn for it.
She does not look like herself. And no, I am not talking surgery.
Her vapid expression is missing from her face. She looks weary and tired in spite of the make up.
It’s like a train wreck…and that woman DOES look like Rinna with a horrible wig.
Didn’t miss her. Giver Cher back her 70’s wig.
I think its really interesting to see how this all rolled out. Of course Kim was always grateful for the paps, as they really helped her in her career. But to the public it was always “Oh no! My privacy!” So to see how she was absolutely able to vanish for months should be a wake up call to all these people that believe that pictures like these always are not arranged. She’s not the only one who does that, but she’s the one that had to rely on pictures of her walking around Hollywood being published to keep her career going. Unlike Angelina Jolie. The paps just found her in the middle of nowhere…
THIS. I’ve been a fan for years and have always “gotten the joke” so to speak, (ie, I knew they pushed narratives and didn’t care bc I found it amusing, no I have never believed anything they’ve said, don’t worry, I get that they’re liars and it was only my guilty pleasure show) but this shit that they’re doing now…plus Kanye doing that Trump stunt? It’s too far for me.
Nope. Can’t. Done.
Those jeans are tragic but maybe would be better paired with something other than pointy toed stilettos? I have never, EVER been a fan of the mix of the extremely casual (the hoodie, the jeans) with something dressy. Like when I see women wearing lululemon pants as dress pants, I just want to scream. Or a hoodie or a fleece with a nice lower outfit? I know sometimes people just throw on a hoodie with whatever they are wearing as a sweater or jacket but I wish it wasn’t a thing. Get a nice coat, get a nice sweater, no need to wear a hoodie with your nice skirt and heels…
Meh.
🙂
Maybe on a taller chick, those jeans might get a pass….
Speaking as a tall girl, I wouldn’t be caught dead in them. Also, she’s in her mid-thirties, it’s sad that she feels the need to wear these teenage trends IMO. They honestly look like something Kylie would wear. As she ages, everything she wears seems ultra tacky and try hard. Ugh.
I’m tall, too, and so is my teenaged daughter. She can wear anything, and SHE wouldn’t be caught dead in that tacky crap.
Wow just wow. I feel bad for saying that my recent holiday weight gain and purchase of new sweats makes me feel not so bad after all. She is amazing. So darn tacky.
STILL letting Kanye’s team dress her?! Wow. terrible. absolutely terrible.
She looks pregnant.
Idk, I like her hair and makeup. It’s simplified and makes her look more human and less sex doll. I don’t like the clothes and I don’t understand the heels with the ripped up (awful) jeans.
I think that her face is looking more and more like Victoria Beckham – particularly in the profile pics. Too bad that she’d never be able to wear VB’s fashions, though.
Good lord I am sure those jeans cost a fortune I need to quit my job and start a new business. Between the swept to the side hair and holes don’t know.
The first sentence you wrote, lmao!! I spit out my coffee!! You are hilarious.
Maybe Kim is low on funds and had some butt sucked out and injected into Kylie’s ass.
I think Kanye needs to deal with his mother’s death. Maybe this is a step in his healing. That’s all I have. .
I’m kind of digging this outfit. Yep; I said it. The shoes are horrid … and I wouldn’t wear this outfit on the street … but, yeah, I’m kinda digging it … and I’ve never said that about a KK outfit.
I like the outfit as well minus the shoes. Personally I wouldn’t wear it because it would draw too much attention.
Wow. Forget the horrible outfit and orange skin…..looks like somebody has been sitting around for three months trauma eating !!
I would at least zip the hoodie all the way up, it is “outerwear” after all and yes I am digging it too!
Actually, in other photos she is looking down right skinny. This outfit sucks. I think she had her butt re-done to be smaller, and judging by these photos – also a nose job she didnt need.
Kardashians are going nowhere yet.

One nice thing? I like the lighter hand with the makeup. Contouring is over (hopefully) for 2017?
…
Something nice: I like her long Cher/Princess Jasmine hair.
