Why Fans Think Kim Kardashian Is Copying Kanye West's New Wife

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Kim Kardashian's luxe fashion is once again drawing comparison to that of ex-husband Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori.

Kardashian, 43, took to Instagram on Monday, March 25, to share a photo of herself draped in an oversized fur coat, which she wore topless with a pair of sheer black tights and pointed shoes. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, who was married to West for nearly seven years, captioned the photo with a simple smiley face-with-sunglasses emoji.

Commenters immediately began remarking on the similarities between Kardashian's outfit and Censori's new style — including a similar fur jacket and tights look that Censori sported last month.

"When you are sending a msg to your ex 👀😂," one person wrote, while another added:"Loooool Kim come on now."

Many reactions were various versions of "It's giving Censori," "Inspired by Censori 😂" or "Kim Censori," along with another social media user, who quipped, "Aw you look like the sister wife🔥😂."

Still, not everyone thought that Kardashian was copying Censori's look.

"It's Kim doing Kim," one commenter wrote. "She has always been true to the game."

Kardashian and Censori's fashion sense been compared ever since West, 45, exchanged vows with Censori, the 29-year-old architectural designer at his Yeezy brand, in December 2022. (Kardashian and West, who share four children together, finalized their divorce one month prior after nearly seven years of marriage.)

During his relationship with Kardashian, West frequently gave her style advice — to the point where it became intense. "I always thought I had really good style – until I met my husband and he told me that I had the worst style," she recalled on a 2018 episode of KUWTK. Four years later, she read an alleged text message from West to sister Kourtney Kardashian on a 2022 episode of The Kardashians.

"The orange look made me so mad," West allegedly wrote. "Would've went to jail before I went out in that."

Since dating Censori, many fans have questioned if West has the same guidance — or power — over Censori's street style, as every outfit (many NSFW and some nearly nude) she wears makes headlines.
