Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS winter campaign has caught attention for a very particular reason. Her latest look eerily resembles Raquel Welch’s iconic fur bikini from the 1967 film ‘One Million Years BC’.
Fans have been buzzing across social media, especially on platforms like X, drawing comparisons between Kardashian’s latest attire and Welch’s unforgettable pinup poster. According to one fan, the resemblance is straight from the ’60s, expressing nostalgia for Welch’s unforgettable role.
This isn’t the first time celebrities have channelled the Welch look. Stars like Heidi Klum and Emily Ratajkowski have also sported similar styles in the past. Now, with Kardashian’s take, the vintage vibe is making waves once more.
Kardashian, known for her daring fashion choices, sported the fur bikini with a twist. The outfit seemingly defied logic by showcasing cleavage, side boob, and bottom boob all at once. Accompanied by blonde hair and dramatic eye makeup, some fans likened her appearance to Brigitte Bardot.
However, not everyone was convinced. Many fans commented that Kardashian bore more resemblance to other contemporary icons like Beyoncé or Ciara, rather than Bardot. One follower even remarked, ‘I thought you was Beyoncé,’ as Ciara herself acknowledged the similarity with a ‘like’.
Beyond the fashion throwback, Kardashian is pushing her SKIMS brand forward, hinting at a potential runway debut. She envisions a unique show, different from conventional fashion events, but ensures every product meets her approval. In her words, ‘It would have to be an experience more than a regular show.’
The buzz around Kardashian’s winter campaign isn’t just about fashion. It taps into a broader conversation about celebrity influence and nostalgia, as viewers see their favourite stars reinterpreting iconic moments. It seems that the past continues to inspire the present in unexpected ways.
While not everyone agrees on who Kim Kardashian resembles in her latest campaign, one thing is clear: she knows how to get people talking. Whether channeling Welch, Bardot, or contemporary stars, her fashion choices continue to captivate audiences.
