Kim Kardashian | A Little Cleavage And Then Gets Nude

Kim Kardashian jetted off to London after attending the Jill Stuart Fashion Show at Lincoln Center in New York City on Saturday. The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star wore a dress from Victoria Beckham’s collection and was spotted leaving her London hotel to go to dinner with her mother, Kris Jenner, at London’s Aqua restaraunt.

chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains

Let's go another round and see how the style trendsetters of today match up against the style trailblazers of yesteryears, shall we? 

Mr. T ... Kourtney Kardashian

On a November shopping trip in New York City with sis Kim, Kourtney looks like she raided Mr. T's jewelry box, wearing an incredible Micha Design cross necklace. I personally really dig this look - it's a definite risk, but the gal pulls it off seamlessly. Kourtney has grown to become a celebrity who isn't afraid to take risks when it comes to fashion, which I commend. (But I suppose if you're boyfriend is Scott 'I-wear-leopard-print-loafers-and-rock-Gordon-Gekko-hair' Disick, you have a superior view of what is edgy). I'm so tired of the endless stream of new 'It'-girls who wear safe, sweet little dresses and heels, and think that they are God's gift to fashion. 

Maybe Scott is good for something, after all. 

Penelope Tree ... Gisele Bundchen

After doing her best Bardot impression, Gisele Bundchen tries her hand at recreating the legendary look of Penelope Tree. While Gisele is arguably as influential in the fashion world (being the highest-paid supermodel ever) as Penelope Tree was during her days as David Bailey's muse, the appeal of the two women are strikingly different. Gisele is a Brazilian bombshell, whereas Penelope's ethereal alien-like beauty commanded - but did not overpower - photographs. 

Personally, I find Penelope's photograph to be much more compelling - the lighting is more interesting as it casts deep shadows against Tree's cut-glass boney frame. The shape of her body in relation to the photograph of the whole is much more appealing as well - with her shoulders slightly rounded, Penelope's body subtly conforms to the circular shape of the necklace. Gisele's body is much more toned - the lighting falls against her lean muscles, not her bones, which appear softer and less contrasting under the light.

Then and Now: Elizabeth Taylor and Kim Kardashian

I will say this up front, even if it looses me street retro cred: I love the Kardashians. More so than just keeping up with them - I literally love these girls. Maybe it has to do with their cosmetic prowess, or their anti-size zero Hollywood bodies, or their extremely candid manner with one another (Yes I do say "Bible", "slob kabob", and some other choice voKab words - there's a K because they put a 'K' into everything. I'm a genius) - but they are the sisters that I never had. When I want to escape the terrors of a boy-dominated home, I can flip on an episode of their show and get a 30-minute estrogen fix.
In a world according to the Kardashians, I am a 'Kim' - I am not nearly as gutsy as the Khloes and Kourtneys of the world, who feel comfortable saying and doing most everything that they want. I'm a little more mild mannered. And I'm not an outdoorsy girl in the slightest (Kim and I are definitely on the same page about that). We also both love Elizabeth Taylor. While I'm not lucky enough to be like Kim and share the luscious dark hair, strong eyes, or womanly curves with Elizabeth Taylor (nor do I have photographers eager to capture me looking like my most favorite actress), I do certainly love and admire her career and her life.
In honor of the Harper's Bazaar cover girl (Kim), who was lucky enough to channel and interview our idol Elizabeth, here is a 'Then and Now' to celebrate these two bombshells

Kim's photographs in last year's Allure Magazine bore a striking resemblance to photos taken of Elizabeth on the set of her Texan epic Giant

In the same magazine, Kim struck a pose very similar to a young Elizabeth (again on the Giant set), both  sunning their stunning faces

This month's Harper's cast Kim in one of Elizabeth's most famous roles, Cleopatra (with a K)
