115. She's a fashionista who can't wear fashion
Sun Jan 5, 2025, 06:02 PM
Jan 2025

I don't know if it's ignorance or she just doesn't care, but for someone who was supposedly a top-rung runway model she just doesn't look comfortable in anything she wears. Her outfits aren't tailored to her figure, they emphasize her short waist, they don't fit in places. For someone married to a billionaire (and who reportedly has millions of her own) she dresses like someone shopping the discount racks at TJ Maxx. A bigger problem than her clothes (she writes, sitting here wearing an old t-shirt and comfy old-lady pants - at least I've had some exposure to couture sewing) is her apparent love of plastic surgery - there's no smile in her eyes, and she usually looks like she's smelling something bad.

Asymetric styles are particularly hard to wear if you're mostly plastic - they need some vivacity and movement to make them look other than silly.
