Keep up with Kim in a sheer khaki dress

Daring dresses are Kim Kardashian's thang. The A-list star loves the nearly-naked look so we can't say we were exactly surprised with this ensemble.

Still, Kim looked like a knockout in the Cavalli Couture creation. Decorated with exquisite intricate details, the sheer dress showed off Kim's infamous kurves. Fans of the reality star might recognize the dress as being very similar to the one she wore to the Met Gala this year, also designed by Peter Dundas for Roberto Cavalli.

A spokesperson for Kanye told MailOnline: 'The West Family will no longer tolerate the spreading and selling of fake stories in a desperate, transparent and shameless attempt for publicity at their expense.

'This sad, parasitic maniac has violated every basic human tenet of decency with his story of lies. As such, the Wests will explore all legal means at their disposal to silence this nonsense.'

TMZ.com reported the Kanye and Kim's lawyer has sent a legal letter to Stanulis, accusing him of breaking a confidentiality agreement he was under as their former employee.

However, the former New York police officer maintains that the Wests are asking him to sign such an agreement retroactively.

He also alleges they have failed to pay him for his three days work protecting the couple during a trip to New York City earlier this month, according to the New York Daily News.

Stanulis maintains he was fired by Kanye, 38, after attempting to talk to Kim, 35, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, shortly before they were due to attend the Met Gala.

He insisted he just wanted to clarify the couple's movements after hearing about a potential change of transport and she was the first one he saw.

The bodyguard, who is happily married, claimed Kanye was 'jealous' and accused him of 'flirting' with mother-of-two Kim.

He launched a scathing attack on the rapper, calling Kanye 'the most condescending person I have ever met',

He explained how the rapper refused to press his own lift buttons, asked guards not to talk when he was present, sulked when forced to sit in the front seat of a car and 'never' apologised. 

Stanulis said he is still waiting for the $900 plus $200 in expenses he is owed for his three days work with the couple.

He told the Daily News: 'I called the guy (who contracted the job) to find out where is my pay. He told me that West’s camp rejected the invoice and said "tell him to get paid by Inside Edition".'

However, a source with the security firm claims Stanulis will be paid once he submits a formal invoice.
