Karl Blasts Nicole?


The fashion world is atwitter after one of the worldÂ’s top designers supposedly blasted Nicole KidmanÂ’s looks.

Making matters worse, the designer is Karl Lagerfeld, the man behind Chanel, where Kidman is a pitchwoman. Kidman stars in ads for Chanel No. 5 — wearing a gown by Lagerfeld — in a deal reportedly worth $5 million.

Lagerfeld has been quoted blasting Kidman’s “bizarre body make-up” and ridiculing her beauty as fake. “She has this bizarre body make-up: endless legs and not very much in the way of breasts,” Lagerfeld was quoted as saying in the Express of London. “What she shows to the world is not her. Her perfection is an illusion: she knows it and couldn't give a damn. There are recipes I can’t divulge.”

However, Nicole's camp doubts Karl ever uttered those words:

Nicole Kidman has laughed off fashion guru Karl Lagerfeld's harsh comments about her looks as "impossible". Kidman's spokeswoman Catherine Olim doesn't believe Lagerfeld made the comments. She tells gossip site The Scoop, "This sounds impossible to me. He adores Nicole and they have longstanding mutual respect for each other as professionals."

1 I happen to know that most of us ladies have looks that are an illusion. God-forbid the public saw me first thing in the morning. As for Nicole's body, she looks like a model. Isn't that what designers want?

2 And what is so wrong about endless legs? (Well, okay, you theoretically could never finish shaving them, but we're getting into Zeno's Paradox here.)
