Kim Kardashian’s last Vivienne Westwood gown was incredibly ill-fitting — though, to be fair, she did say on her Instagram that she ditched the smoothing Spanx underneath.

So when the reality star and ShoeDazzle founder stepped out in a corseted and much better-tailored Vivienne Westwood creation at the “La Traviata” Opening Gala, the results were absolutely stunning.

She redeemed herself well. The waist-whittling white gown with a sexy thigh-high split put her famous curves on display, and she highlighted her facial features with her signature spidery eyelashes and a severely center-parted hairdo.

Kim Kardashian also brought a couple of surprises that night. The unfinished hem of her dress was unexpected on such an elegant-looking gown.

While we would’ve expected Kim to wear her usual ankle-strap sandals, she instead surprised us with chunky-heeled gold-leaf platform sandals that were much more interesting.
