Kim Kardashian wowed fans with a hot new photoshoot, and people are comparing her to the famous Marilyn Monroe.
The reality TV star, 43, amazed fans by recreating Marilyn Monroe’s glamour in an animal print bikini and platinum blonde hairstyle. Her Instagram followers went wild over the look.
Styled and directed by Soki Mak and photographed by Michael Bailey Gates, Kim showed off her curves in a cheeky-cut animal print bikini with black pumps. She also wore a matching leather masquerade mask designed by Zana Bayne.
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton gave Kim a blowout hairstyle similar to Marilyn’s, while makeup artist Kali Kennedy gave her skinny eyebrows, another nod to Monroe’s classic style.
Followers quickly noticed how much Kim looked like Marilyn and many called her an “icon” for paying tribute to her.
“Monroe Style elegance & sexy,” one fan commented.
Model Winnie Harlow added: “So… you’re saying this isn’t Marilyn Monroe?”
In another set of photos from the same shoot, Kim wore a glittery see-through dress that reminded people of her famous 2022 Met Gala look.
One follower wrote: “Looks like you’re about to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the president,” referring to the famous dress Marilyn wore in 1962 when she sang to President John F. Kennedy.
Kim’s 2022 Met Gala look was very controversial. She posed for photos in a tight, crystal-covered dress. Although she looked amazing, critics were upset because they felt she risked damaging the famous dress.
