Kim Kardashian Opens Up About Her Miscarriage Scare With North


Between 10 and 25 percent of pregnancies result in miscarriage—and for a brief period, Kim Kardashian believed hers with North was one of them.

The reality star describes the scare in the upcoming Keeping Up With The Kardashians 10th Anniversary Special. During the pregnancy, she experienced “debilitating” pain in her stomach, she says. On Thanksgiving, she flew to Miami to see her doctor. “I thought I had a miscarriage. I was pretty certain about it,” she recounts. The doctor agreed, saying, “there’s no heartbeat—you had a miscarriage,” but he told her to come back just in case. Thankfully, there was a heartbeat after all.

The whole pregnancy was emotional from beginning to end. After being warned by a doctor that she may have a difficult time, she was terrified to learn she was pregnant. “I remember calling [Kanye] and he thought a family member of mine had died, I was so hysterical,” she says. “I thought my life was over, that I was pregnant and [it was going to be] so hard for me.”

She also experienced a condition called placenta accreta—which prevented her placenta from detaching from her uterus—during both her pregnancies. On her blog, she said that getting the placenta removed was the “most painful experience of my life.”

For her next child, Kim is reportedly bypassing some of these issues by hiring a surrogate. “I can’t carry anymore kids…it’s the worst,” she said on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “It’s not going to be happy for me.” The surrogate’s identity hasn’t been made public, but Us Weekly recently reported she was already pregnant.

Why Kim Kardashian and Kanye West No Longer Give Each Other Gifts

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West are a low-key, no-frills couple. No, really: Despite the weeklong wedding celebration in May 2014 that took attendees from Versailles to Florence and millions of dollars’ worth of sparkly things they’ve gifted each other, the power couple says they actually value being “grounded and well rounded” much more than accumulating pricey material possessions.

In an interview accompanying her covershoot for the October 2017 issue of Allure, Kardashian West opened up about her and her husband’s newly tame approach to celebrating each other—which, hopefully, still allows for West to fill rooms with gorgeous white roses in honor of his wife. “I don’t like presents anymore,” she said. “We just did absolutely nothing [for our anniversary]. We spent two days in Santa Barbara, and we slept.” Kardashian West added, “You know what? I think we went to IHOP. That’s what we did.”

This zen-like philosophy—possibly stemming from the reality star’s traumatizing robbery at gunpoint in Paris last October—also extends to the couple’s children, 4-year-old daughter North and 21-month-old son Saint. “We don’t do gifts,” the 36-year-old said when asked whether she worries about her kids growing up spoiled. “[Kanye and I] talk about it all the time, about not getting too much and trying to be as grounded and well rounded as possible.”

This approach is clearly working for Kimye, who are expecting their third child, a daughter, via surrogate at the beginning of next year. During a visit to The View earlier this summer, Kardashian West gushed over her husband and their strong, supportive relationship. “We’re best friends, and I think that’s just what’s so important for us in our marriage,” she said. “I think we started off as friends for so many years and we were friends when we were in other relationships and were such a good support system for each other for so long. I think that really helped to be the basis of our relationship.”

This Is Exactly How Kim Kardashian Keeps Her Platinum Blond Hair From Breaking


It’s only a small exaggeration to say that each day of Fashion Week feels like approximately eight years. Its packs a lot in—so the fact that Kim Kardashian going platinum is still a shining, vibrant memory is just a testament to how great her silvery new color looks. Also memorable: the shock as the truth came out that this was truly, actually, the real deal. No Kylie Jenner wig here, or pinned back hair for a faux Kendall bob. Kardashian had taken the plunge, and emerged with the whitest hair possible. The next question on our lips? How she was going to keep it on her head.

Most people who’ve gone platinum will tell you, it’s no easy upkeep. As cool as it looks, bleach leaves most hair fried, crunchy, and at risk of breaking off with the breeze. So the heat was on to see how Kardashian handled the damage, and as it turns out, her hair savior might just be the cheapest thing in the Kardashian-West hair arsenal. Crazily enough for the multi-billionaire, it’s a $20 drugstore hair treatment—the Nexxus Emergecee Protein Treatment.

That said, she didn’t use it in the typical way (at home, hair marinating in a huge towel, in front of a TV show). According to Byrdie, Kardashian used her time in New York to swing by the Nexxus salon for its signature treatment.

Per the brand, the treatment uses a high concentration of proteins to deliver collagen and elastin and strengthen your hair. In life post-bleach, that’s especially important—the chemical does a number on your hair and literally breaks the bonds holding it together, so a combination of protein and hydration is essential to repair the damage and keep it healthy. Think of it like Olaplex (the post-bleach protein builder every hairstylist swears by), taken down just a couple of notches so you can use it at home. Even if you’ve never gone near bleach, we can vouch for it: the silky, soft feeling it leaves behind is no joke.

Kim Kardashian Isn't Even Trying to Wear Pants Anymore


Kim Kardashian West is no stranger to the naked dress trend that’s shown up on every red carpet lately—or, hey, even the odd nude photo or selfie. But on Friday night, Kim showed up at the Daily Front Row Fashion Media Awards foregoing pants altogether—a look that might even top that transparent plastic dress from earlier this summer.

Kim wore footless black sheer tights over a pair of black silky string panties. The tights came up right to her waist, leaving a few inches of bare skin underneath her super-cropped, extremely narrow bandeau-bra top. She finished the look with black leather blazer and clear plastic shoes to keep the sheer theme going (consistency is key).

It’s basically a fashion-with-a-capital-F version of the giant sweatshirt and tights you wear around the house in the winter when no one else is home and you’re too lazy to take your tights off after a long day. Except in this scenario, Kim actually left the house. And she left the sweatshirt at home. And, well, it’s Fashion Week.

All that black-on-black was the perfect contrast to Kim’s new white-blond hair, which, as her stylist Chris Appleton confirmed to us, is “not a wig.”

Interestingly, Kim’s little sister Kendall Jenner wore a very similar look Friday night to the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party: this time, a sheer black dress with a pair of black underwear prominently showing through. It was the token naked dress of the night, and definitely the not the first Kendall has worn. We sense some outfit coordination going on here.

Kim Kardashian Just Dyed Her Hair Silver Blond for Fashion Week (And, Yes, It's Real)

Just as Kate Middleton always changes her hair before a baby announcement, Kim Kardashian completely overhauls hers for fashion week. (Funny enough, it could also be said that Kim K follows a royal baby reveal with her own royal baby news too.) Earlier this evening on Instagram, stylist Chris Appleton posted a boomerang of Keeks getting ready for New York Fashion Week—which officially kicks off tomorrow—and in the place of her most recent signature dark, center-parted, butt-length look (i.e. “Cher Hair”), Kim’s got bright, white-blond hair.

But before you’re quick to call wig on this one, we’ve got confirmation from Appleton that this dye job is in fact a very real deal.

“Taking Kim blond was something we both talked about for a long time,” Appleton told Glamour via email. “It’s a great transition from the super long hair trend Kim started last year in Paris. We wanted a whole new vibe and platinum is such an iconic look, I knew Kim would look amazing with it.” I mean, naturally. There’s plenty of history there to support that.

But what makes this shade different from her blonds of Fashion Weeks past is the undertones. Where her first big reveal back in 2015 was more of a warm, buttery platinum, this new take is pure Targaryen—cool, silver, and so blond it’s almost white.

“Silvery white is the more modern version of platinum blond,” Appleton said. “It’s a cooler, edgier tone.” Can’t argue there considering the recent number of celebrities who have all gone peroxide blond this summer.

We’ll have to see what this edgy new Kim has in store for us this week. She’s got (at least, if she doesn’t return to Paris) seven days of lewks ahead, so we’re sure this isn’t the last we’ll be writing about it.

Kim Kardashian's Next Collaboration Is All About Tasteful Nudes

What, you thought Kim Kardashian would end her coffee table book career with Selfish? She was only just getting started on her global bookshelf domination.

In a surprise social media announcement, Kardashian teased her newest creative outing alongside the provocative and hyper-realistic photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Titled Night Bird, little is actually known about the collaboration except for the fact it’s due out on September 7 via Taschen, and that it features Kardashian completely nude in at least one photo. (Mert and Marcus, as they prefer to be called, specialize in nude portraits, as witnessed most recently with a portfolio they did with Kate Moss for W.)

“So honored to have been photographed by Mert and Marcus for their new book!” Kardashian wrote on Instagram. “20 years in the making!” In the shared photo, Kardashian is completely naked except for a pair of combat boots and star pasties covering her nipples (most likely to fall in line with Instagram’s nudity policy)—and she’s also climbing a tree, naturally. Alas posted on Instagram with a slightly different version of the photograph: “NIGHT BIRD ? One of the pages from our new book with @kimkardashian.”

Even if you’re only vaguely familiar with Kardashian, you’ll know that she proudly loves to share nude or semi-nude photographs of herself on social media. While some people have slut-shamed her in the past about this, Kardashian (rightfully) believes it’s her choice in the way she empowers and displays her body.

“I never understand why people get so bothered by what other people choose to do with their lives. I don’t do drugs, I hardly drink, I’ve never committed a crime—and yet I’m a bad role model for being proud of my body?” she wrote in an open letter last year. “It’s 2016. The body-shaming and slut-shaming—it’s like, enough is enough. I will not live my life dictated by the issues you have with my sexuality. You be you and let me be me. I am a mother. I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, an entrepreneur and I am allowed to be sexy.”

Preach.
