Looking more like her big sis Kim than a fresh-faced teen, the skintight Herve Leger dress, pumped up cleavage and sky-high platform pumps were just too over-the-top!
The bandage dress is definitely a Kardashian staple and the reality gals love to show off their signature curves — but Kylie Jenner should have waited a few years before slipping into the sexy number in Las Vegas on Dec. 15. Her sparkling Herve Leger fit her like a glove, putting her cleavage and her curves on full display — and it was totally inappropriate for the 14-year-old! Not only was the dress too mature for Kylie, but she looked ridiculous — it was almost as if she was playing dress up in her big sis Kim’s closet.
While Kylie’s 16-year-old sister Kendall Jenner was the focus of criticism after posing for scantily-clad model shots, this is the first time Kylie’s outfit choices drew such negative attention — and I think this is way worse! It’s one thing to look a certain way when you’re on set modeling, but it’s quite another to walk the red carpet in such an inappropriate outfit. Kylie has so many years ahead of her to dress like a sexy Kardashian — there’s no reason to grow up so fast in this bandage dress! Taking it a step further, the young reality star opted for a platform pair of Christian Louboutin pumps.
Kylie, you definitely need to slow down — and leave the sexy dressing to your older sisters until you’re all grown up!

When you were that age didn’t you ever wear something slightly adventurous just for fun, even though you knew not everyone would approve, but you didn’t care? I did, and more than once! Creating and showing different looks is a normal (and fun! ;) part of being a teenage girl! By experimenting with different looks in finding your own style, there WILL be some that you hope nobody took pictures of! But for Kylie (and Kendall), any such pictures will be distributed world-wide the same day.
She sees what her sisters normally wear, follows, and is criticized as inappropriate. Her mom and sisters probably aren’t the ideal role models for fashion modesty either; consider what outfits she sees family wearing daily at home and on TV before questioning her judgement.
If she wore a bikini on the beach, that would be acceptable. And some highschool cheerleader uniforms are even more provocative and inappropriate than her dress.
Plus it was for a Kardashian store opening, and she wore something that got attention, the point of a store opening! A well planned and well played marketing move, Kardashians!
Does anyone really think her outfit will cause some perv to “misinterpret signals” and act uncontrollably on it in front of a heavily armed camera crew ready to shoot on sight, if that is the concern? For some events & circumstances her dress might be too provocative, but at a family store publicity opening, it’s either the result of the whole family arriving at a publicity strategy together, or it’s just a 14 year old girl experimenting with a new look like a normal teenager, and a few jaws dropped open at this one.
It can’t be easy for her as the youngest to see her older sisters go out and spin off their own shows and have opportunities, then see Kendall begin to break out and establish her identity as well, while she waits two or three more years. And two or three years is a LONG time when you are 14, even more so when what awaits you at the end is so incredible, and just painfully long when all her other sisters are there already! I can see why she would want to seem older and more mature, and criticizing her for trying is just being mean.
Let her and Kendall enjoy being teenagers and find their own look and style without criticism. Would you want to stand alone on a stage in EVERY cute outfit you wore during your highschool years and listen to EVERYONE take a turn criticizing the next morning?
If you must criticize, single out an adult for her style, not a 14 (or 16) year old! Maybe Lindsay Lohan will get arrested or charged with a new felony and her courtroom fashion statement can be criticized!
And don’t attack Kylie or Kendall because you dislike the family soap opera, that’s just hateful and wrong!

I have to say that I saw a story on this somewhere else. They had this photo posted. I found the same photo posted with three other stories. I was not until I got to the site that I realized that the dress being criticized is the one pictured. It’s really not too much. Not so much that it’s worthy of discussion beyond “look at her dress” over the dinner table.

I’m not bothered by the dress. I really don’t care about this family because they irritate the hell out of me, but seriously Hollywood Life? How is the dress too much for her age? She looks fine. The shoes are a bit too high, but the dress is ok. If it were a mini dress, I would understand, but it’s not that bad. This site will never change.
