Rihanna Kim Kardashian
Splash News Online; AKM-GSI

It’s a battle of Kanye‘s leading ladies! The rapper’s girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, was spotted in the same navy blue Givenchy dress his Def Jam labelmate, Rihanna, wore recently.

The pop star first wore the $1,057 dress last week in New York City. Rihanna paired the demure long-sleeve number with gold ankle-strap heels, a simple necklace and a ballerina-inspired updo.

This weekend at the Dash L.A. store opening, Kardashian — who’s no stranger to a good, old-fashioned Fashion Faceoff — continued her sleek style streak by opting for $1,295 Christian Louboutin python pumps, a gold necklace and a pulled back ‘do. Whispers that her beau was the inspiration behind her newfound look were confirmed recently on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

It’s ironic that both starlets went so reserved with the styling, since they’re both known for their skin-baring and risk-taking outfitsTell us: Who wore the dress better? Vote below!

Jill on

Anyone notice the spanx line on Kim? Definitely not the right dress for her!

Leslie on

Thanks for pointing out the Spanx Jill – LOL! Man, if that’s what she looks like WITH a Spanx on, I can’t imagine what she looks like with it off. :X

Leslie on

Also, Kim needs to buy a MUCH better bra…AND it seems like a really weird PR move to wear another designer to your own store opening. Shouldn’t she have worn some of THEIR line??

plzzzzz on

that dress looks like it would cost $180 at most.

DJ on

@Leslie…they don’t sell their own stuff at the DASH stores. They carry other designers clothes. They have had the stores since before they started doing their own line.

ds on

that is the first thing I saw was the spandex. She needs to stop stuffing her face and go on a diet. She looks like a cow

Eve on

Are all of you hypocrites a size 0 ?? Kim rocks that dress with her curves… she looks like a woman not like a boy with a wig and heels.

CJ on

Rihanna looks chic but she is just too skinny lately. Kim has the hour glass figure which I think represents more women here in America. Most of us have curves!

lol-at-haterz on

no one else could pull off that dress the way rihanna did. it was made for her. and kim just looks like a copycat.
dont these celebs know who wore what after a week, come on now

lisak on

The dress looks elegant on Rihanna. Kim REALLY needs a better bra or a better boob job.

Jennifer on

Wow, Rhianna finally in something classy! That girl does not know how to dress! She looks WAY better than Kim!

emily on

kim does look like she is putting on some weight. that dress doesnt fit her. re looks bad in that dress 2 way 2 skinny. i think both of them have done better. this dress wasnt made for them.

Smells like Kardashian on

Can anyone say MOO!

Sarah on

I think the reason most people think Rihanna looks better is because she normally looks like a HO, so this is a huge improvement. I have yet to see KK look bad in anything

Kris on

Proves that Kim K and Rihanna both have too much money to blow over $1,000 on a dress-totally stupid and insane. The dress is cute but in no way is it worth that much money.

SayinitLikeItIs on

Yes I’m a size 0, and yes she looks like a cow.

Sarah on

Kim looks fat! At least RiRi doesn’t have to wear Spankz to keep it all in. The Kardashian’s should be banned! Not only is she only famous for porn, she can’t even value marriage. She will NEVER be my daughter’s role model!

Jordan on

Spanx lines on Kim’s legs were the first thing I noticed :p It is great that she wants to dress better and claim that she is happy with her body… She should probably wear the correct size to reflect that instead of trying to squeeze into her clothes.. Let your body breathe a little, girlfriend!

Kathy on

Kim is FAT and this dress show’s it!

Rina on

Rihanna was attending her grand mother’s funeral, that is why she looks so demure. I think she looks great in that but a little old for her for an everyday look, but perfect for the occasion.

LM on

Bad choice for Kim. She’s a larger girl and should wear clothes that flatter her.
That dress looks fabulous on Rihanna. It’s chic and works with her figure.

gina on

If Rhianna dressed like that more often she wouldn’t look as trashy. She actually looks sexier dressed like this than in other things she wears! Kim, who I normally thinks looks pretty great, looks bad here. Bad bra maybe and this dress does make her look a little fat. She looks matronly almost while Rhianna looks young and sophisticated.

gina on

And what’s funny is that Kim said she was a size 2 or 4. Does she look anything like that size esp. compared to Rhianna who probably is a 2

ccg on

What is with Kim’ bare white chest and dark face?

rome on

it looks to tight on kim,it shows her rolls.even in a differn’t photo recently of kim in a bikini,yeah she looked small around the waist but her the fat on her thigh and hip was hanging out.ewwww.

tahoegeminii on

Kim is a repulsive urine drinker no matter what she wears-but she is looking pretty thick all the way to her cankles in that photo

elia on

Kim looks like a cow. Fat a$$ed and obnoxious. She needs to fall into a hole.

Yvonne on

Rihanna looks normal for her age in size, she looks like a young woman. Kim is looking pretty wide everywhere for a celeb who uses her body for a money maker quite honestly. I know she looks like most of us but that’s the point I’m making here-she’s supposed to be above average as a celeb. If she looks like everyone else then why would anyone buy a magazine or product with her promoting it? You could stick a younger more fit celeb on there and get better results!

kim on

Kim doesn’t have curves. She’s simply overweight!

MANDY on

better pic of these two ladies in this dress on e online. Here it looks better on RiRi and on e online it looks better on Kim

Kitchy on

If it fit Kim and she had on a supportive bra (or any bra, since she looks like she’s swinging free here), I’d say it looked better on Kim. I think the dress needs curves. But hers is at least a size too small and her boobs are at her belly button. Unfortunately both are par for the course for Kim and why she’ll never look good.

tia on

Neither of these women would be chosen as role models for my daughter, i see that Rhianna has been secretly seeing chris brown the guy that beat her up, and Kardasian… she found her fame by prticipating in a sex video…???
In this dress Kardasians butt looks wide enough to serve tea on……….nuff said.

wm on

All I got to say is BLAH to both……………..

Patty on

Kim needs to lose 20-30 lbs. or so. Her head looks so small on her big body. A better bra wouln’t hurt either. Now some of you say you like her curves(which some of us call fat) and I am sorry to say I could lose 30 lbs. myself and I don’t like my “curves”. But I also don’t go around in skin tight dresses or low tops either.

Kitty on

Rihanna makes this dress look elegant with her new found thinness (sorry to say) almost like a life like representation of something you would see in French Vogue – She looks like a model that literally stepped right out of the page. Does the dress perfect justice. Kim on the other hand and her purported ‘Size 2 humongous a*s’ (more like 12, I know she’s short but come on now) makes the dress look sloppy and common – like a Lane Bryant item lol. Rihanna wins hands down.

marie on

Only bc I like the shoes that went along with Rs version, even tho I’m so not a rih fan. I think some straps on Kim’s would’ve looked good. Not a fan of either

Guest111 on

I honestly think that Rihanna wears this particular dress better because the fit of the dress is ment to be worn by extremely skinny people with no chest, no butt and no hips. Kim rocks the dress differently. Her curves are well shown off and she looks nice, but compare the two and Rihanna wears it better.

Brit on

While I don’t think Kim looks “fat” and in my opinion, she looks fabulous in the dress, I DO find it extremely annoying that she has said multiple times that she is a size TWO! That is clearly NOT a size 2! She tries to promote this “curvy, love your body” attitude but then isn’t truthful about her size?

Both of these ladies look great but with that said, I think Kim actually fills it out better (Spanx and all!).

Cora7777 on

Both of these girls are copying Kate Middleton. The dress she wore when she did her engagement press. Kim looks very old in this picture.

Pia Razon on

Kim is going to burst the moment she has a child. She better get a surrogate like Beyonce did.

Pia Razon on

Rihanna’s weave needs retouching and Kim needs to take it easy on the plastic surgery. She is starting to look exactly like her mom – not good.

Scott Packard on

kardashian looks like 25 pounds in a 5 pound bag…please stop this insane following of she and her lame Family……

Amanda on

First comment ever, will I get flamed…yes. Kim vs. Rihanna. She had a bust, Rihanna does now. Shapewear or not, the rest of her slims down. I think that Kim look better, mostly because of the bust. I am biased. I had gastric bypass. Still, I do not appreciate a stick figure. I don’t drool after the Kardashians, and have really been against Kim sense her marriage. She looks nice, healthy, and happy…

swack on

Don’t think that dress was made for someone with larger hips. I also think Rihanna is way too thin for it. Neither one gets my vote.

Grainne Gillespie on

Rihanna, but also because she didn’t feel the need to pair it with tacky, tasteless python shoes. What did the poor pythons do to deserve being skinned alive only to end up on the feet of a Kardashian?

me on

definitely not surprised to see kim wearing something like this… but this is a very different look for rihanna. frankly, it’s quite refreshing to see her looking so simple and pulled together… her fashion lately has been atrocious

Sherry on

Why does Kim Kardashian always look like shes totally poured into whatever she wears?! She is so NOT hot like she thinks she is.

Annakay on

I’m slim and fat people dont like when skinny people call them fat, so why critisize skinny people then?! i mean i’m skinny but im not anorexic nor am i starving or dont eat but i’m just that way, dont talk like skinny people are not healthy and rihanna is not skinny she is slim and very sexy… last but not least, Rihanna is so darn pretty in that dress & i love kim but the dress does not fit her. Honesty is honesty! ;)

cai on

it looks like she’s wearing a tourniquet

Kara on

I’ve got to say rihanna, I don’t think the top part did much for her, but from the bust down, it looks great on her…..kim, not so much, looks too much like an over stuffed sausage, not to be rude, she usually looks ok, but this dress isn’t right on her.

jellybeans on

Kim is just getting larger everyday. The tight clothes are not a good look for her. Poured into them is a no no.

katherine on

WOW….She will be tremendous if she ever has a baby!!!

B on

a) Kanye is not a Roc Nation artist. b) It’s pretty low to do a game of “who wore it better?” when Rihanna wore that to her Grandmother’s memorial.

Ann on

I think it is just a bad photo of Kim. I really don’t understand all the hate. Porn? Really? Uptight people. She didn’t do porn. So sick of hearing jealous people say things like this. She never asked to be a role model for your kids. Who wouldn’t take her money? I think it is sad women are using terms like ‘cow’. She is not fat. She has curves and is not a size 0…women are meant to have curves! I also don’t think Rihanna gets all the flack she gets. Wow. Hateful society we have.

christi on

they both look really good..kim does look good but yah i noticed her spanx right away also..i read comments to see if others had, and you did! This look is much better then the cake face n dark red lips she normally trys to pull off..the less make up this chic wears is the only time im a lil jealous of her beauty.. with make up.. she just looks like some girls i know.. i dont think much of it.

youthinkicare on

Who is holding RiRi’s hand??? (and people, her name rhymes with BANANA, not with Donna). The dress is really overpriced and also too long; take the hem up about six inches and Rihanna would look fab!

bug930 on

I too Noticed the spanx line under Kims dress!! And it looks awful!!, but!! it is better than having to look at her half dressed, As she usually looks.

None of Your Busniess on

Really? Who cares who wears what better!!

But its hands down Kim wears the dress better then what’s her face (Rihanna)

Lisa on

LOL at all these fat a**ses hiding behind a keyboard calling Kim K fat when she only wears a size 4, I would love to see what you all look like in this dress. They both look great in the dress. It’s funny because Rihanna have been complaining lately about losing all of her cureves and wanting them back and you haters are on here calling Kim who is a little curvy women fat, now wonder our kids are so f*cked up. I guess you people think stick thin is the best way, but then again you all must be a bunch of flat butt, flat chested white people with no shape, you people have some of the worst shapes, the only people I know that call Kim K fat are starved out white girls that sit on bones for butts. Uggggghhhhh HATERS

judie7112 on

Kim looks like a matron on a bad hair day. If her butt gets any larger she will have to have chairs made especially for her dimensions!!!!!

nonsensefinder on

Kims face is odd but not in a cool way. Very plastic surgery creepy. Strange hairline too like Vinny of Jersey Shore. Very mannish exactly like the mother. Bad news on that. The dress looks hourglassy on Kim K. but okay on R. Both are not inspiring beauties. Neighborhood interchangeables hyped up.

cb on

Two very different body types and both women look great. (But Kim K needs to figure out how not to show her girdle lines!) I never thought I’d see the day when Kim K would win a fashion face-off — although I’m perplexed why the vote was so lop-sided because Rhiana looks great, too.

Ann on

Neither one looks good in this dress……Kim looks very chubby and Rihanna looks like she jumped in it at the last minute…..hope neither one wears it again……

Julie Prescott on

Rihanna is way too thin, Kim is definitely gaining weight as she recently admitted; yes, the Spanx is showing thru. Both of them need to get ahold of their lives!!

Anon on

Kim looks like beyonce in the picture! Kanye is cloning Kim into Bee!!!

rome on

curves or cellulite?it’s to tight and shows her rolls…

kaye on

Kim looks very big in this dress and someone said a size 0 I can’t believe that anymore that Kristie Alley is a size 4 there is no way.

thatgirlagain on

Rihanna wore that one so sleek. Kim’s looked a bit saggy in it and normally ladies with lesser boobs wear this kind of cuts better. Just saying.

tillie on

WOW that’s Rihanna,i have never seen her look so good.She should do this more often.

T in Texas on

I did not know Kim K. was that big !

SusiQ on

to the poster who said Kim looked like a woman with her curves.. .actually, in this dress, she looks like two women

Erin on

Kim is definitely not fat, but still I laugh everytime i think of the article where she says she is 5’3 and 115 lbs. There is no way!

Di on

Finally Rihanna has added some class to her wardrobe; hopefully this is the start of a whole new image for her.

kat1129 on

not a good look on Kimmie

Crystal on

Kim looks good, she just needs a better bra. It makes her look saggy. I think Rhianna looks best. Her look is much more classy, while Kim looks like she is trying to hard with her skin tight dress on.

whatever on

Rihanna, hands down…she’s got the better body and she doesn’t need SPANX or facial fillers…

Koz on

That dress look baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad on the fat pig Kim.

Linda on

Does it look like Kim K. has on a body shaper under her dress or is it just me. I see a line at the bottom of her thigh that looks like she is wearing something underneath! Rihanna looks sooooooooooo much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ed on

Why is she always wearing something that real stars wear, granted she make a bundle for doing nothing, but she is not a star.

tim on

She’s fat and is a big hip girl

Diana on

Is it just me but has anyone noticed how wide her hips are? And whats with her boobs she needs a better bra. Her body looks like she has been through the mill it’s all used up. Wow that just show how many guys she’s been with her body has already tunred very loose.

Patti on

Why on Earth would they wear this dress in this heat wave anyway?

dinkydeal on

Shamoo has curves too. The corsset was invented to make it appear like curves. Most people don’t have a life to live and this woman is counting on that. If people in America really had a life, this woman would not be worth over 30 milliion. They would not waste their time on the no tallent person wasting perfectly good airtime.

apl on

I think Kim looks fantastic, but then so does Rihanna. They each have their own style. I don’t see why everyone is so vicious with their comments, but I guess that’s easy to do when you sit behind a computer and your perfect. NOT!!

ipis everywhere on

LQQk at those teeth……Imma hafta say what Ray J said……Those are some the whitest teeth i’ve ever CAME across……d’OH!!

pEANUT on

“RI RI EXUDES “UNDERSTATED CLASS”, JUST WAITING TO BE UNLEASHED , LIKE HAILLE BERRY AS CATWOMAN. I MAY NOT CARE FOR HER MUSIC; EACH TO THEIR OWN;AT LEAST SHE HAS “SUPER TALENT/VOICE” & DOESN’T NEED TO MAKE “SEX TAPE” tO SUE SOMEONE about..go RI RI..MAYBE U’LL SING ONE OF MY SONGS??NA..THATS OK IF U DON’T. THINK I FOUND DIAMOND IN ROUGH IN
HOLLAND..

Bethany on

You can totally see Kim’s Spanx!

Kathy on

Rihanna looks very nice and elegant. Kim just… too much.

angie on

It’s a horrible dress to start with but given that both of these celebrities are annoying as all heck, it’s hard to say which one carries it off better.

I’d have to go with Rihanna as the lesser of two annoyances though.

Ann on

No competition…Rihanna wore it BEST.

Ella on

woah woah people, True KIM is an attention seeking wh*re that would sleep with Satan if that meant being on the front page of some magazine and ridicules over priced interviews but let’s not call her FAT.. that’s just mean!

lori on

Ohh Americans…. those are not curves, Kim is BIG. Stop promoting unhealthy lifestyle.

Duffy on

Kim is a pig with no talent, RiRi is a Super Hottie with lots of talent. Rihanna wins hands donw and Kim should be face down…..

joan schaefer on

it is so amazing about all the articles about kim kardashian —i just don’t understand it –is there no other news ????? she is really a nothing !!

MARIA on

SHUT,UP, Y’ALL! BOTH OF THEM LOOK GREAT!

Jo on

Kim looks FAT. Why please tell me that every time Kim K opens her eyes, gets up. goes out and even breathes we have to know about it? Boring….

me on

yeah…who cares. Nobodys on TV because they have money.

zuly on

i think they both look good

lmond00 on

I’ve noticed lately that Kim’s bust line have been sinking lower and lower. She’s looking kinda homely. I know Kanye has been dressing her in some beautiful clothing but some are not as clingy as she is used to and not able to push up her bust as much.

Kells on

I think what Leslie meant was why wasn’t she wearing a dress from a designer label that her shop will be selling.

Mistie on

Holy wow, what a bunch of jealous catty freaking “women”. Talk about all the terrible bullying going on with kids these days, and here you have a bunch of hateful nothing better to do with their time but bash women who they have and will NEVER meet. It’s really sad. I seriously hope none of you have little girls, because I would truly be scared to see how to raise them to treat others.

Elizabeth on

What do you think Kim’s measurements are? It is hard to tell from photos if she is fat or is it just a bad picture?

V on

RIRI LOOKS HOTT…..KIM LOOKS LIKE SHE JUST GAVE BIRTH …….

Feven on

As Rihanna mourned for her grandmother, I would still have to agree she looked much better in the dress than Kimberly did. Kim just looks ginormous with lop-sided breasts.
-_- not a good look at all..
