Kim Kardashian Rocks a Big Ring in the Big Apple for Contest

The impossible has occurred: Kim Kardashian was outshined on the red carpet! The culprit was not another celeb, but the 22-carat diamond engagement ring on her finger — or as she jokingly referred to it, the "nice little cocktail ring." The starlet attended The Ultimate Engagement Ring Search for The World's Best Couple launch at Brasserie Ruhlmann in NYC on Monday and modeled the grand prize.
Though the recently single Kim said she's "down for some hook-ups,"the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star still seems as in love with love as ever. Kim even referred to herself as a "hopeless romantic," making her the perfect fit to show off the ring before awarding it to the winning couple.
