19 Crazy Kim Kardashian Style Moments To Remind Us Why We Love Seeing Her On The Red Carpet
Whether you adore her eccentric antics or wish the world would miraculously forget its obsession with her, there is one point everyone can agree upon when it comes to Kim Kardashian: She adores taking fashion risks. The Kardashians may not be renowned for their composure or decorum, but Kim leads the rest of her family in dressing the part of the prima donna, whether suited up in a cream tuxedo jacket or bearing her bust in a corseted top. Who else would continue to wear Herve Leger bandage dresses and platforms heels well into her third trimester of pregnancy, after all? Read on for Kim Kardashian's most eccentric red carpet looks, and remember: Even the most celebrated of starlets have their Worst Dressed moments.
In A Plunging Jumpsuit
Kim Kardashian’s curves are a media sensation unto themselves, but this plunging top looks like it needed a full reel of fashion tape just to keep from falling into censored territory.
In A Dirndl, 2006
I’m quite certain the starlet and her then-BFF Paris Hilton adorned themselves in dirndls for a good reason, but out of context, the duos getups are little more than amusingly quirky.
In A Muumuu and Go-Go Boots, 2007
More power to Kim for choosing an ensemble that looks more comfortable than constricting, but this muumuu-style dress is definitely in “I-forgot-my-pants” territory.
In Tropical Printed Top And Oversized Tote, 2008
Heidi Klum experimented with dressing older than her years, so it only makes sense that Kim would try on a similarly advanced ensemble. The last time these bold tropical florals and oversized white tote were seen outside the retirement village was likely 1985.
In Sneakers And Jeans, 2009
Seeing Kim K outside her home environment in jeans and sneakers is akin to witnessing a shooting star: a rare occurrence indeed, and one that renders the viewer temporarily speechless.
In Red Leopard Print Mini, 2009
This Dancing With The Stars-style getup paired with Kardashian’s punk/bouffant hairdo is more than vaguely unsettling, if only because the fabric of her dress appears to belong on a childhood stuffed animal.
In Purple And Orange, 2011
Kardashian chose an eye-popping ensemble of gold, orange, and purple, leading viewers to wonder if she stole the look off of a Disney princess for her red carpet appearance.
In A Corseted Mini Dress, 2011
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians starlet couldn’t decide between a corset and a be-ribboned frock, so she chose a little of both in this silky ensemble.
In A Feathered Hat And Black Gloves, 2009
Kim K channeled Derby style in this feathered chapeau and black gloves in 2009. Unfortunately, the Broadway production of My Fair Lady had already cast the role of Eliza Doolittle.
In A Mermaid-Inspired Ensemble, 2012
OK, so this was Halloween, but that doesn’t make this aquatic getup any less fantastically insane.
In A Gilded Mini, 2012
Kardashian didn’t leave any chance that her ensemble would fall short of the spotlight in this blindingly blinged-out mini.
In Mustard-Colored Satin, 2013
Mustard is an underused color for the exact reason why Kim’s ensemble is slightly off: When utilized in the correct amount and style, it brings radiance and glamour to the wearer, but mustard is incredibly easy to overdose on.
In A Floral Gown For The Met Ball, 2013
Far be it for me to judge what an expecting mother wears, but this intensely patterned floral maxi nearly swallowed up Kardashian’s small frame.
In A Shirtdress And Trousers, 2013
Kardashian took an authoritative approach to dressing — and staring down paparazzi — in this shirtdress and trouser ensemble in 2013.
At A TopShop Event In Feathers And Sparkles, 2013
The star went to back to the Kardashian wardrobe basics with this sequined, feathered getup for Topshop in 2013.
In A Transparent Slit Skirt And Bustier Top, 2014
This red carpet ensemble checked all of Kardashian’s essential ensemble criteria. Low-cut? Check. Partially transparent? Check. Certain to garner attention from absolutely every event attendee? Double check.
In A Patterned Mini At The 2014 VMAs
More than one attendee at the 2014 VMAs did a blurry-eyed double take when Kim K. trotted onto the carpet in this embellished mini dress.
In A White Skirt Suit, 2014
Kardashian shocked fans and critics alike when she eschewed her typically vampy wares and chose this demure, white, tuxedo-inspired getup for a TNT event in 2014.
In A Transparent Lace Ensemble, 2014
Who says venturing outside requires real clothing? Kardashian’s lacy, transparent maxi dress was more like a nighty than couture, though the mom appears to be more than alright with her choice.
