Even in a "Basic" LBD, Kim Kardashian Is So Very On-Brand

I'll just come right out and say it, Kim Kardashian's version of the basics aren't anything like mine. We might have the same essentials in our wardrobes - athleisure, go-to jeans, a great pair of trousers, and of course, the requisite LBD - but the similarities likely end there. If I'm pulling out a little black dress for a cocktail party or date night with my husband, there's likely, um, more material than there was on the one Kim rolled up to dinner with Kanye in on Thursday night.

The little mini Kim showed off in LA cinched her waist and showed off her stems, which were clad in ankle-wrap stilettos, that curled around her calves like obedient snakes. So sure, the general idea of slipping into an LBD for a date might seem very rudimentary, but there was nothing basic about Kim's look. And, I have to give it up for Kim - whatever the occasion, the style star is so clearly dressing for herself, her every look an extension of her sexy fashion-forward brand.

On that note, even if Kim's sultry anniversary date-night look isn't for you, there's a style lesson in here somewhere - can you feel it? The idea: that no matter what the event or the reason, you continue to find the clothes that speak to you, make you happy, and generally support your own figurative "brand." And if by chance you're looking to spice up your own night-out looks and this one speaks to you, then by all means, soak up the inspiration and let Kim convince you to lean into your sexy side a little, too.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
