Kim Kardashian is facing criticism after posting new photos that some fans believe are intentionally mimicking Bianca Censori, Kanye West's current wife. The timing of the photos, coinciding with rumors (since debunked) of a split between West and Censori, has fueled speculation about Kardashian's motives.
One photo, featuring Kardashian in a patterned vest bodysuit and white heels with a 'wet look' hairstyle, drew immediate comparisons to Censori's signature style. Commenters flooded the post, with some mistaking Kardashian for Censori. Others urged her not to give West the 'satisfaction' of imitating his new wife.
Adding fuel to the fire, Kardashian shared a throwback photo from 1994, showing her at age 13 with a slicked-back short pixie bob – a hairstyle Censori has recently adopted. While Kardashian emphasized her young age in the photo, some interpreted it as an attempt to prove she sported the look first.
The posts have ignited a debate online, with some accusing Kardashian of deliberately trying to provoke West or remain relevant in his life. Others believe the similarities are coincidental. Kardashian has yet to directly address the controversy.
