Kim Kardashian has worn her fair share of controversial outfits over the years, but her latest look may be her worst yet.
As soon as photos emerged online showing the reality star’s daring fashion choice, fans immediately started poking fun at it, with some saying it’s the ugliest thing she’s ever worn.
Why Fans Hated Kim’s Neutral Outfit
While attending her son Saint’s basketball game, the SKIMS founder was spotted in a beige outfit featuring a furry bodysuit. She paired the unconventional top with nude tights, with the pantyhose lining full exposed.
Kim added pointed heels in a matching color and a flesh-toned cuff, while keeping her platinum hair straight and down.
Shortly after the photos were publicized, critics took to a Kardashian forum to express their disapproval, with many questioning why the star would leave the house in such an eccentric outfit, despite having access to tons of stylists who could’ve warned her against.
“This might be the worst look of all time,” one person wrote. “From the hair all the way down to the shoes… Oh my God.”
A different comment added, “What the hell is even that,” while someone else said, “This looks like a crumpled loaf of bread.” A different comment poignantly wrote, “What is she doing? Where are the stylists?”
Kim Has A History Of Controversial Outfits
Kim is known for her bold fashion choices, even if they spark backlash. Any publicity is good publicity in the world of Hollywood, right?
Among her many controversial outfits, the Marilyn Monroe dress she wore to the 2022 Met Gala stands out as particularly contentious. The dress, originally worn by Monroe in 1962 when she famously sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy, is a piece of American pop culture history.
Designed by Jean Louis and adorned with over 6,000 hand-sewn crystals, the gown is valued at an astounding $4.8 million .
The controversy surrounding Kardashian’s choice to wear the dress primarily stems from its historical significance and fragility. The gown, which had been preserved at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum in Orlando, Florida, is considered a delicate artifact. Critics and fashion historians argued that allowing Kardashian to wear it risked damaging the fragile fabric and compromising its preservation.
Concerns intensified when, after the event, images surfaced suggesting potential damage to the dress. Reports indicated that some crystals were missing and that the fabric appeared stretched. This sparked a debate among fashion enthusiasts and historians about the ethics of wearing such irreplaceable garments. Ripley’s, however, refuted claims that Kardashian was responsible for any damage, asserting that the dress was in the same condition as before.
Kim Kardashian defended her choice, stating that she took extreme precautions, including changing into a replica dress after the red carpet, to minimize wear and tear on the original gown. She also mentioned undergoing a strict diet and exercise regimen to fit into the dress without alterations, which got backlash for being deemed unhealthy.
Clearly, Kim isn’t afraid to take a fashion risk, even if it doesn’t sit right with her followers.
