Kim’s Marilyn Monroe Met Gala Glow-Up
Kim hit the 2022 Met Gala wearing the sparkly, crystal-studded dress that Marilyn Monroe made famous. Spoiler: It wasn’t easy squeezing into a dress frozen in time! After months of diet and sweat, Kim rocked the gown perfectly - though only for a few minutes. Some claimed she ruined the vintage dress, but the museum said nope. Either way, it was a bold move channeling the OG Hollywood bombshell.
Kim Rocking Naomi Campbell’s Vintage Givenchy Vibes
To celebrate her big birthday, Kim slipped into a vintage gold corset dress that supermodel Naomi Campbell once strutted in during ’90s Paris Fashion Week. Yep, the SAME corset! Kim finished the look with a Grecian skirt and a sleek bun. Fans weren’t thrilled, throwing shade about originality, but hey, vintage fashion loves a good remix.
Kim’s Take on Courtney Love’s Spicy Dior Corset
For a movie premiere after-party, Kim rocked a black silk Dior corset that Courtney Love famously wore back in ‘95. She modernized it with her own black pants and heels. Kim even recreated Courtney’s 90s rockstar vibes with a playful pose. The internet? Not too impressed, calling it boring and a sneaky promo for her own brand.
Naomi Campbell’s Subtle Shade Game
At a fancy wedding, Kim was spotted in a wild multicolor Versace dress Naomi Campbell first rocked in ’96. The look was so identical, Naomi quickly posted her OG runway photo online. Kim got the message and cheekily replied with a side-by-side pic and a shoutout, "Naomi Forever." Classic fashion clapback!
Kim’s Royal Snag: Princess Diana’s Famous Cross
Kim stepped out rocking a diamond-lined cross necklace once loved by Princess Diana at a Hollywood gala. The bling cost a pretty penny and was the first public appearance of the piece since Diana’s days. Style-wise it was definitely bold with her plunging neckline, but reactions were mixed. Some thought it was a powerful tribute, others found the combo a bit off.
Kim: Beyoncé or Cher? The Met Gala Drama
In 2015, Kim showed up at the Met Gala in a sheer, sparkly dress with a giant fur train. Sound familiar? Beyoncé rocked a very similar look three years earlier. But Kim swore her dress was inspired by Cher’s iconic 1974 Met Gala outfit. Fans argued the silhouette screamed Beyoncé though, sparking endless internet chatter about who wore it best... or first.
Kim Tries to Match Her Ex’s New Wife’s Style
In a spicy December 2024 Instagram post, Kim showed off a daring look suspiciously like Kanye West’s new wife Bianca Censori’s signature style - crop top, skimpy bottoms, and a balaclava in the forest. Fans noticed immediately and called it out like, “Bianca multiplied!” There’s something about ex-wife fashion copycatting that really gets everyone talking.
Kim’s Serbian Pop Star Doppleganger
Back in 2015, Serbian pop star Jelena Karleusa threw a playful accusation Kim stole her style, posting side-by-sides that made fans do a double take. Jelena, known as the “Lady Gaga of Serbia,” called it a compliment but also pointed out Kim’s stylists had clearly been eyeing her Instagram. Cue all the ‘I CANT unsee it!’ comments.
Kim Totally Copy-Pastes Rihanna’s Edgy Looks
Over the years, fans have pointed out Kim’s looks that scream Rihanna inspiration! Remember that bubblegum-pink tulle gown from her 2018 photo shoot? It’s basically a twin to Rihanna’s deep blue version. And the sunglasses? Exact match. Plus, Kim’s kids’ shoe collab looked super close to Rihanna’s Fenty slides. Fans called her out saying, “Try your own style, Kim!”
Kim Accused of “Beyoncé Cosplay” (Yes, Really)
In late 2024, the internet went wild when side-by-side pics showed Kim channeling Beyoncé’s iconic looks - blonde hair and smokey eyes included. Fans weren’t having it, saying she was shamelessly trying to stay relevant by playing dress-up as Queen B. Kim’s fans say inspiration, haters say cosplay fail. You decide!
