Kim Kardashian has always been a sensation making headlines, and her latest photoshoot for Skims’ Winter Heat collection did not fail to grab eyeballs either. In the promotional images for her brand, the 44-year-old reality star dons a bold look that has sparked buzz not just for the ‘daring’ outfit but for her dramatically different appearance.

From one user commenting, “Thought it was Beyonce” to another one saying, “It’s giving Shakira,” fans flooded social media with reactions to her new look, comparing her to the global music icons, with tweets that read “Shakira Kardashian😂😂😂”
She has always been candid about the lengths she’ll go to maintain her youthful appearance. “I was kind of joking, but now that I think about it, I would probably eat s*** if someone told me, ‘If you eat this bowl of poop every single day, you’ll look younger,’” she said in one of her more shocking confessions.
On cosmetic surgery, her honesty is upfront. “I always want to look appropriate,” she said. “There does come a point when you’ve taken it too far—overfilled, too tight, too much cosmetic work. There’s nothing worse.”
Kim has also shared some glimpses into her beauty routine, where she revealed that her dedication stretches up to late-night treatments after her kids are asleep. “I really genuinely care about looking good. I probably care more than 90 per cent of the people on this planet,” she said. “It’s not easy when you’re a mum and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school, and I’m all of the above. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing laser treatments.”
Known for her long, raven-black hair and signature style, Kim is a master of reinvention and redefining beauty standards. From her early days as Paris Hilton’s stylist to her current status as a billionaire business mogul, Kim’s look has been ever evolving more times than fans can count.
Over the years, she’s experimented with pink and platinum blonde hair and even faced criticism for cultural appropriation due to her braided hairstyles. In the 2024 Met Gala, she pulled a custom look from Maison Margiela that left the fans thrilled and mesmerized.
This latest photoshoot is no different. Alongside the fur bikini, Kim shared pictures of herself modeling knitwear pieces from the Skims collection, including a cream cami with cable-knit trousers and a blue bralette. Whether the photo-shoot was an intentional nod to her friend and pop star Beyonce remains unclear as of now, but fans can’t deny that it points out Kim’s pretty smooth ability to adapt her style.

Kim’s bold choices have always made her a sensational name as a style icon. She’s graced the cover of American Vogue three times, the only industry elite to achieve the same. In 2022, Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia lauded her influence, while comparing her to Marilyn Monroe.“She redefined the standards of beauty,” Gvasalia said. “Kim did something very similar to what Marilyn Monroe did back in the day. She reshaped our understanding of what beauty is.”
Recently, she took on a role as a ruthless publicist in the 12th season of American Horror Story. This adds another accomplishment to her ever-expanding mesmerizing portfolio. Love her or hate her, Kim Kardashian continues to dominate the fashion world, once again proving that reinvention and bold moves keep her at the forefront of pop culture.
