Hey!

Blog Off: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in matching Balmain...

I have to say, I love the Kardashian-West's wardrobes. I've never kept it a secret that if I was a woman, I'd probably be bankrupt 100 times over keeping up with Kim and her couture. And actually, Kanye has quickly become a go-to male style icon for me. Everything he has worn recently I want!Do you realise how hard it was to actually write that paragraph? Don't judge me.Anyway, their joint love of Balmain is well documented, and this double whammy from last night has made up even more column inches for the couple and the French fashion house. And actually, I love this matchy matchy look, it's smart and not cheesy. Kim's dress is from the the Resort 2015 collection, Kanye's jacket is current menswear.But what do some blogger mates think? Definitely not the same as me! Scroll down to find out...kim kardashian and kanye west balmain dress jacket

 Is this a Halloween costume? That's the only time, surely, that it's acceptable to go matchy-matchy as a couple. Meow!

If this was in red they would look like a pair of trolley-dollies on a Virgin Atlantic flight. In black, it's not as bad, it's just the gold buttons make it a bit uniformy and 80s. The material has a sheen, the lapels are shiny plus the buttons and leather trousers... it just needs toning down a bit.

I got so excited when I heard that Balmain will be opening a new store on South Audley Street in London. Then I saw this matchy matchy pair and I am back to square one. Kanye's styling is too contrived. Much as I love Balmain, that blazer has been done and copied to death. I wasn't even excited at the version from Zara, that says it all!

Who do YOU agree with?
