Kim Kardashian picked an ill-fitting dress for the LACMA Art + Film Gala honouring Barbara Kruger and Quentin Tarantino in Los Angeles on Saturday

She certainly has a figure unlike almost anyone else’s, and Kim Kardashian usually knows exactly how to dress for her shape.

But the reality star had a rare fashion misstep for the LACMA Art + Film Gala honouring Barbara Kruger and Quentin Tarantino, presented by Gucci, in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Kim was wearing a slinky teal satin dress which appeared to be too tight across her hips as the fabric ruched along her midsection.

The gown also had an unusually placed slit across one leg, and Kim looked a little awkward as she posed in it.

With a spaghetti strap on one side and a full strap on the other, a cowl neckline and floor-length hem, the frock was otherwise lovely.

The 34-year-old also wore silver sandals with chain link straps and a thick diamond choker.

Kim swept her raven locks into an elegant ponytail for the star-studded occasion and completed her look with smoky eye make-up and some pink lipstick.

Although it may not have been the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star’s best red carpet look, her husband Kanye West clearly adored it.

The rapper couldn’t take his eyes off his wife as he cuddled up to her and whispered sweet nothings in her ear, saying something that made her giggle.

When it was Kim’s turn to pose on her own, he stood patiently in the background, admiring her voluptuous form.

Kanye meanwhile was clad in black leather trousers and a matching suit jacket over a white shirt, along with brown suede riding boots.

It has been a busy weekend for the couple as they celebrated Halloween the previous evening, with Kim first channelling a skeleton and then US Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

Meanwhile their daughter North West, 16 months, wore a skunk costume before being dressed as Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley.
