Kim Kardashian has found herself in the spotlight once more, facing accusations of mimicking the unique fashion sense of Kanye West’s new wife, Bianca Censori. The SKIMS founder, aged 43, sparked debate among her followers after sharing a series of glamorous photos on her Instagram this past Tuesday.
In the eye-catching images, a blonde Kim, who is currently in New York City with her daughter North, was photographed leaving a Los Angeles grocery store. She donned an eye-catching white leotard paired with tights, reminiscent of Bianca’s daring fashion choices. However, unlike her counterpart, Kim opted for a more modest approach, wearing appropriate undergarments to maintain her modesty.
Completing her striking look, the mother of four accessorized with heeled flip-flops, a silver chain pendant necklace, and a wrist cuff, while her damp blonde hair and natural makeup added to her effortless appearance. Accompanied by a brunette companion and a tall man with dyed blonde hair, Kim’s grocery run took place under the nighttime Los Angeles sky.
Interestingly, although the photos were shared on Tuesday, they were likely taken months prior when Kim still had blonde hair—a look she has since abandoned, returning to her natural brunette color in June.
As always, Kim’s 361 million followers did not hesitate to point out the similarities between her outfit and Bianca’s wild style, even jokingly referring to her as “Kimberly Censori.” Some fans highlighted that elements of Kim’s outfit mirrored designs from Kanye’s Yeezy clothing brand showcased on runways back in 2016.
This is not the first occurrence of such accusations. Back in April, Kim drew attention for appearing in a bleached blonde hairstyle and an “apron” top, shortly after Bianca made her own debut with that particular fashion statement. However, the tables have also turned; Bianca has been seen sporting looks that appear to be inspired by Kim. Recently, she was photographed on a date night with Kanye, wearing a plunging white dress strikingly similar to one Kim wore during her 34th birthday celebration a decade ago.
Kim and Kanye’s relationship has been tumultuous, culminating in their split in February 2021 after six years of marriage and the birth of their four children: North, 11, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five. Just weeks after their divorce finalized in November 2022, Kanye married Bianca, an architect who works at his Yeezy company.
Since marrying Kanye, Bianca has garnered attention for her provocative outfits, often wearing revealing clothing in public. A source disclosed that Kim expressed her concerns regarding Bianca’s choice of outfits around their children, emphasizing her surprise that Kanye would allow such attire.
In stark contrast to his interactions with Kim during their marriage, where Kanye frequently advised her on her fashion choices, Bianca has reportedly made an effort to dress more modestly in the presence of Kim’s children. An insider stated, “Kanye exerted similar influence over Kim’s wardrobe throughout their marriage, but he respected her as a person and artist.”
There have been concerns from Bianca’s family over her bold fashion choices, with sources claiming that they are “mortified” by her near-naked ensembles, fearing she is being controlled by Kanye.
Interestingly, some of Bianca’s iconic style seems to be influencing her stepdaughter North as well. Recently, North was spotted wearing a brown fur hat over long braids during an outing with Kim in NYC. Notably, Bianca had been photographed wearing a similar style back in December 2023.
As the fashion rivalry continues, it remains to be seen how both Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori will evolve in their style statements moving forward.
