Someone needs to explain to me how this made Best Dressed lists. Even my rudimentary sewing skills tell me that there are some major issues with this dress. The seams aren't lying flat and look skewed, there is pulling and tugging in all the wrong places, and the fabric puckers when she walks. While the colour is perfectly complimentary to Kim's glowing golden skin, the fish tail looks like it was attacked by Edward Scrissorhands and was then hastily put back together with fishermen's netting. It is a shame because Kim has a gorgeous figure and this is a fairly modest dress for her (compared to her usual penchant for ultra-minis and navel plunging necklines).

On the bright side, Kim scores an A for her hair, makeup, and accessories. They are perfectly understated and refined.
