STYLE SPOTLIGHT: HERVE LEGER HOOPLA

Kim Kardashian may be known to some as the girl in the infamous Ray J 'lovemaking' tape but to some she's known as a trendsetter.




Kardashian's love for Herve Leger bandage-like mini created an immediate hoopla around Tinseltown's style wonders.

Rihanna, Remy Ma, Vivica A Fox, Kelly Rowland, Kimora Lee Simmons, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Nicole Richie, Catherine Zeta Jones, Jessica Biel, and Eve have joined what is now known as the "Herve Leger Hoopla."






Quite frankly, a Herve Leger mini is for the body conscious crew because of the killer curves a female wearing the dress would gladly flaunt.

Contrary to this new red carpet epidemic, Janet Jackson actually jumpstarted the trend at Francois Henri Pinault PPR dinner party at Paris Fashion Week last October.



In fact, Kim Kardashian rock the same purple Herve Leger dress in grey to the VIP dinner for the 2007 BET Awards.
