Among heaps of praise about their well-styled ensembles while sitting front row at Paris Fashion week, Talley describes them as the “Nick and Nora Charles of our time, the Liz and Dick Burton, without the brawls.”

While many critics had much to say about Kanye’s breast-baring top at the Lanvin show, Talley is quick to label it his best look. As for Kim, he bestows the honor upon her all-Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy get-up, saying, “At the best moment, there’s nothing like naughty lace caging the body with a leather biker jacket.”
