Introducing the first installment of our new daily feature in which we break down the buzziest news story of the day and peg the commentary of fashion’s who’s who against that of our own team. First up: the momentous news about Kim Kardashian’s wedding dress! From a spur-of-the-moment engagement to her five-years-younger NBA paramour, Kris Humphries, to her 20.5-carat diamond ring, the reality queen has been heating it up online with talk of her upcoming nuptials. Now, the Twittersphere and blogs alike are blowing up with word that family friend Vera Wang will design Kardashian’s wedding dress. Who cares? As it seems, everyone!

Yesterday, the two were spotted shopping in New York City’s West Village, alongside sister Kourtney and a conveniently prepared camera crew. The group hit up the designer’s store, as well as Christian Louboutin, for some accessories to match. Natch. As if that didn’t make it plain enough, here’s more fodder to fan the Wang flame: Kardashian donned a floor-length Wang gown to the Critic’ Choice Awards earlier this year. That, and sister Khloé walked down the aisle in Wang when she got married in late 2009. Done deal, it seems.

WHAT THEY SAID…

Khloé Kardashian: “She did mine, so I hope she does [Kim’s]. Just because I love her, and I feel like when you think of weddings, you think of Vera Wang,” [E! News]

Michael Kors: “I think she needs to wear something that shows of her gorgeous figure—keep it sleek, sexy, and simple.” [People]

Ok! Magazine: “She is going to have at least two, possibly three custom Vera Wang gowns,” an insider tells OK! in the new issue. [OK! Magazine]

WHAT WE SAID…

Caitlan Moneta, assistant fashion editor: “Well, I can’t imagine a designer who could be any more experienced in the bridezilla arena—Vera’s a total pro! For Kim, I think it’s more about fulfilling that bridal fantasy and getting the ‘best of the best’.”
