EXCLUSIVE: Kim Kardashian’s ‘Perfect’ 20.5 Carat Diamond Engagement Ring!

Kim Kardashian Engagement

Kim Kardashian had long dreamed of the perfect man — and the perfect ring. “In high school I went to Macy’s and bought this fake ring, my ‘perfect’ ring, and this is almost the exact same,” she says, staring down at the 20-plus-carat gem Humphries designed with jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, a longtime Kardashian friend who has not only decked the reality star in her gorgeous jewels for events like the Emmy Awards but has also created engagement rings for stars like Beyoncé. Wanting something distinctly her own (“Khloé’s is a radiant cut,” she says of her sister’s ring), Kardashian loves the classic design. Humphries had simpler requirements: “I just knew I wanted it to be big!” And he got more than big, as Kim gushed, “It’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It’s perfect.” The 16.5-carat emerald cut center stone is flanked by a pair of 2-carat trapezoids, for a total weight of 20.5 carats! Humphries even managed to work out the design without his now-fiancé knowing. Kardashian explains, “[Lorraine] always listened to what I would want and the shapes I love. I had said I loved an emerald cut and they were scheming and plotting for a while.” Humphries confided his plans in his parents, but felt confident in his decision. “I knew she’d love it — she better!” –Jennifer Garcia

Looks like the Duchess of Cambridge wasn’t the only one dressing up for the Obamas’ visit to London! Michelle Obama brought her signature colorful, feminine style to the British capital on Wednesday, dazzling in an array of elegant designs. After disembarking from Air Force One in a Preen dress and matching jacket the previous night, the First Lady met with Catherine and Prince William in a full-skirted, green Barbara Tfank dress topped with a cropped pink jacket. For time spent with Prime Minister David Cameron and his stylish wife Samantha Cameron, Mrs. Obama picked a magenta Roksanda Ilincic dress to go under her cobalt blue Narciso Rodriguez coat. She capped off the day with a truly dazzling look for a state banquet at Buckingham Palace, stepping out in an ivory Tom Ford halter gown with matching opera length gloves. There is still time left in the Obamas’ visit abroad, so we can’t wait to see what other beautiful looks the First Lady puts together.

Elle Fanning’s Fashion Icons: Alexa Chung and Marilyn Monroe

Lo Bosworth Gives 'Elle Fanning Young Hollywood Awards

Elle Fanning is only in 7th grade, but her fashion sense — and covetable wardrobe of Rodarte and Valentino — could easily match that of someone twice her age. “I’ve always loved fashion ever since I was really, really little,” Fanning told PEOPLE at the Young Hollywood Awards in L.A. “I shop vintage all the time.” Dressed in Marc by Marc Jacobs shorts and high-neck top, the Super 8 actress noted she’s “inspired by Twiggy right now” and is a fan of “the ’60s and ’70s little baby doll dresses.” Proving her versatility, Fanning enthuses, “I’ve always been obsessed with Marilyn Monroe and her ’50s style.” But it’s a more contemporary star that gets the ultimate compliment. “Alexa Chung is my style icon.” Outside of a style beyond her years, Fanning says she’s just like anyone else her age. “I go to regular school,” she explains. “I have sleepovers on the weekend. I go to the movies with my friends. I do everything a normal 13-year-old girl does, really.” –Dahvi Shira
