Kim Kardashian Draws Comparisons to Marilyn Monroe with Sultry New Look

Kim Kardashian left fans in awe with a sizzling new photoshoot, drawing comparisons to the legendary Marilyn Monroe.

The 43-year-old reality TV star channeled Monroe’s glamour in an animal print bikini and platinum blonde hairstyle, captivating Instagram followers and sparking social media buzz.

Styled and directed by Soki Mak and captured by photographer Michael Bailey Gates, the mom-of-four flaunted her curves in a cheeky animal print bikini paired with black pumps. She elevated the look with a matching leather animal print masquerade mask designed by Zana Bayne.

Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton created Kim’s blown-out crop, reminiscent of Marilyn’s iconic hairstyle, while makeup artist Kali Kennedy completed the transformation with the skinny eyebrow trend, another nod to Monroe’s classic look.

Followers quickly noted the striking resemblance between Kim and Marilyn, with many branding her an “icon” for the homage.

“Monroe-style elegance & sexy,” one fan commented.

Model Winnie Harlow added: “So… you’re telling me this isn’t Marilyn Monroe? 😍.”

In another set of photos from the same shoot, Kim donned an embellished see-through dress, reminiscent of her controversial 2022 Met Gala appearance.

One follower wrote: “Looks like you’re about to sing happy birthday to the president,” referencing the famous dress Marilyn wore in 1962 to serenade President John F. Kennedy on his birthday.

Kim’s 2022 Met Gala look caused quite a stir. She posed for photos before the event wearing the infamous skin-tight, crystal-embellished dress. While she looked stunning, critics were outraged by her decision to wear the iconic garment, fearing she might risk damaging it.
