After some questionable fashion moments, LeAnn Rimes finally turned heads with an elegant and flattering red carpet look. In November 2013, the country singer stepped out in a stunning Donna Karan dress, marking a rare “wow” moment in her style history. However, she wasn’t the first to wear this iconic design.

She styled it perfectly, too! This outfit would have impressed us, but the problem is that this is not really the first time we’ve seen this slinky gray number. LeAnn stole the look from Jennifer Hudson and Kim Kardashian.
LeAnn Rimes also showcased a dainty and feminine tattoo design on her right foot that she had inked in January 2012. The cursive script reads, “The only one that matters.”

Several fans asked LeAnn Rimes on Twitter about the significance of her new tattoo, and she explained that it was a sentiment expressed by her husband, Eddie Cibrian. She also revealed that she has five tattoos and noted that, surprisingly, getting this one wasn’t painful.
Rimes shared a photo of herself getting the tattoo from Mark Mahoney, a veteran celebrity tattoo artist known for inking stars like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Cher, and Johnny Depp.

Jennifer Hudson was the first one who rocked this dress. She styled the long-sleeved grey dress from the Donna Karan Pre-Fall 2013 collection with black sandals by Saint Laurent, a gold “J Hud” nameplate necklace, and other jewelry.

Kim Kardashian Redefines Bold Style in Donna Karan’s Iconic Gown
And only a day after the dress made fashion headlines, Kim was spotted wearing the same thing.
This reality star, however, showed everyone how to wear the dress. She did not bother to pin the draped neckline and flaunted a lot of her post-baby cleavage.

Who Wore It Best? LeAnn Rimes, Jennifer Hudson, or Kim Kardashian
This Donna Karan dress is incredibly flattering, making it a celebrity favorite. However, with its appearance at three high-profile events, it might be time to retire this style.

Who do you think wore it best? Unfortunately, the dress has sold out online.

Similarly, at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, Lizzy Caplan turned heads in a black-and-white silk-and-organza atelier gown by Donna Karan, showcasing the designer’s signature elegance. These moments underscore Donna Karan’s enduring legacy of creating timeless and sophisticated pieces that continue to resonate on the red carpet.
