Kim Kardashian enjoyed a date night with Kanye West Sunday, but the reality star still managed to let fans in on the evening by sharing some selfies.
The 34-year-old star can be seen wearing a nude fitted dress with tousled waves in her hair for two selfies taken in a bathroom mirror. She uploaded both photos to Instagram with the captions "#DateNight" and "CloseUp."
Kardashian has been apart from her husband while jet-setting around the globe for promotional appearances. She was in Australia in mid-November to launch her new fragrance, Fleur Fatale, then headed to Dubai before stopping by Art Basel in Miami last week to celebrate her Paper magazine issue, #BreakTheInternet.
Well, this is news that makes us grimace: Plus-size model Tara Lynn said she understands why skinny is the standard for most designers. Lynn, a size 14/16 model who appears on ELLE Spain’s November cover, discussed in a recent interview with ELLE her opinion that plus-size models may not offer the best representation of clothing.
It is hard to make clothes look great on big women. The more fat there is on a body, the more variation there is in the shape of that body.
Lynn elaborated that the industry is showing signs of adjustment in its attitude towards larger bodies, saying that there has “been change in acceptance of plus-size models,” and cites plus-size model Crystal Renn as proof of the trend. But Lynn remains skeptical that plus-size models need to be represented in fashion, and says that she understands why designers tend towards “using a standard, clothes hanger-skinny body” in their campaigns.
Tara Lynn’s commentary on plus-size modeling comes as a surprise in light of the recent trend towards featuring realistic silhouettes in stores and on the runway. Despite naysayers like Karl Lagerfeld, who has famously said ”No one wants to see curvy women on the runway,” plus-size models are staking claim in the fashion world.
Lately, we’ve seen refreshing additions to the fashion sphere, such as Robyn Lawley and Kate Upton (not plus-size, yes, but certainly curvier), whose images help promote a healthier ideal of beauty. Kate Upton’s June 2013 Vogue cover was a welcome divergence from the norm, and Lawley’s Ralph Lauren campaign as the label’s first plus-size model continues the brand’s tradition of elegance and timeless style. The progression suggests a move away from the emaciated models who have been a hallmark of the fashion industry.
Although Lynn’s opinion on plus-size modeling seems to speak to the expectations of top designers and fashion icons, perhaps it reflects more on the body dysmorphia of the very girls to whom the fashion industry markets its wares. If a top model like Lynn is questioning her shape, the fashion industry still has a long way to go before plus-size is considered standard.

Halle Berry was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to an African-American father, Jerome Berry, a former hospital attendant, and a European-American mother, Judith (Hawkins) Berry, a retired psychiatric nurse. Halle has an older sister named Heidi Berry. Halle first came into the spotlight at seventeen years when she won the Miss Teen All-American Pageant, representing the state of Ohio in 1985 and, a year later in 1986, when she was the first runner-up in the Miss U.S.A. Pageant. After participating in the pageant, Halle became a model. It eventually led to her first weekly TV series, 1989's Living Dolls (1989), where she soon gained a reputation for her on-set tenacity, preferring to "live" her roles and remaining in character even when the cameras stopped rolling. It paid off though when she reportedly refused to bathe for several days before starting work on her role as a crack addict in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever (1991) because the role provided her big screen breakthrough. The following year, she was cast as Eddie Murphy's love interest in Boomerang (1992), one of the few times that Murphy was evenly matched on screen. In 1994, Berry gained a youthful following for her performance as sexy secretary "Sharon Stone" in The Flintstones (1994). She next had a highly publicized costarring role with Jessica Lange in the adoption drama Losing Isaiah (1995). Though the movie received mixed reviews, Berry didn't let that slow her down, and continued down her path to super-stardom. In 1998, she received critical success when she starred as a street smart young woman who takes up with a struggling politician in Warren Beatty's Bulworth (1998). The following year, she won even greater acclaim for her role as actress Dorothy Dandridge in made-for-cable's Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999), for which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Movie/Mini-Series. In 2000, she received box office success in X-Men (2000) in which she played "Storm", a mutant who has the ability to control the weather.
