Kim Kardashian recently embraced her inner Marilyn Monroe in a sizzling new photoshoot, donning a skimpy leopard bikini that left little to the imagination. The SKIMS mogul shared a series of photos on Instagram on Wednesday, showcasing her in the revealing bathing suit, complete with a matching paw print eye mask and a blonde, Marilyn-style hairdo. Kim struck several seductive poses, highlighting her famous curves.
In addition to the leopard bikini, Kim posted images of herself channeling Marilyn in various other outfits, including a long sheer dress and a sharp suit and tie. The transformation was so striking that model Winnie Harlow commented, “So… you’re telling me this isn’t Marilyn Monroe?” on one of the posts.
Kim credited several key collaborators for the shoot:
Creative Director & Stylist: @sokimak
Photographer: @michaelbaileygates
Hair: @chrisappleton1
Makeup: @kalikennedy
Although it remains unclear whether the images were captured for a magazine spread, marketing campaign, or another business venture, the striking resemblance to Marilyn Monroe did not go unnoticed. One commenter pointed out that Kim’s photo session resembled Marilyn’s iconic look while filming the 1957 movie “The Prince and the Showgirl” with a stuffed toy tiger.
This isn’t the first time Kim has paid homage to Marilyn. At the 2022 MET Gala, Kim made headlines by wearing the iconic gown Marilyn donned to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962.
Kim Kardashian continues to captivate her audience with her glamorous tributes to Hollywood’s past icons, skillfully blending modern allure with timeless elegance.
