Before diving into the latest internet frenzy, let’s set the record straight: Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and Beyoncé don’t exactly resemble each other. However, Kim K.’s recent SKIMS photoshoot has ignited a debate that has fans drawing comparisons between the reality star and her longtime friend Paris Hilton, as well as pop icon Beyoncé. And while that may sound far-fetched, once you see the photos, it starts to make sense.
In her new SKIMS photoshoot, Kardashian sported her signature blonde locks, donning a range of bold outfits, from vintage ski boots and a red skintight catsuit to a white bikini set while riding a red toy car. She even posed topless with skates and tiny shorts. The entire shoot, which celebrates the new SKIMS holiday collection, has been shared across her Instagram, featuring both behind-the-scenes photos and the official ads.
The minute the photos dropped, fans couldn’t help but draw comparisons, with some swearing she looked like Beyoncé. The grainy, vintage filter used in the shoot mirrored a style Queen Bey has often incorporated into her own Instagram posts, and Kardashian’s long blonde hair is a look Beyoncé has rocked for years. Naturally, this led to comments like:
“I’m scrolling and definitely thought this was Beyoncé 😭” – @alyssamontiel21
“I love Kim K but this doesn’t look like her. This looks like Beyoncé 🤷🏽♀️” – @iam_pennylove
“Beyoncé?!” – @irfoxila
“Bro I thought this was Beyoncé yooooo. 💀💀💀 somebody had to say it” – @6limejr
However, it wasn’t just Beyoncé comparisons that were making waves. Many fans thought Kardashian looked more like Paris Hilton in the shoot. Paris is known for her love of vibrant colors, and though she typically opts for pink, the bright red outfits in Kim’s shoot seemed to echo Paris’s signature aesthetic. Fans commented:
“It’s giving Paris Hilton 😂” – @nqobile_d
“Thought this was Paris Hilton lololol” – @fiszdaddy
“Is this Kim or Paris?” – @eeaudu
While fans were split on whether Kim looked more like Beyoncé or Paris, there was one thing everyone seemed to agree on: the photoshoot was stunning. As TikTok users might say, the shoot was “very demure, very mindful,” and the comments were filled with praise:
“Very demure, very mindful ✨” – @hulu
“Very snatched, very demure, very iconic.” – @cory.hall
“Very demure, very mindful and very very ICONIC 😍🔥❤️” – @angelicatalan
“Very iconic. very slay. very demure.” – @morphebrushes
The lighthearted debate has even sparked the idea that Kardashian could potentially team up with Paris Hilton and Beyoncé for future SKIMS campaigns. While Paris has previously collaborated with the brand, a partnership with Beyoncé might be a dream for now—but it’s fun to imagine the possibilities.

From her eye-catching looks that draw comparisons to other celebrities to bold commercial concepts like the “Kim Klones” ad, Kardashian is never shy when it comes to making a statement. Her winter-themed photoshoot is just the latest example of her ability to create buzz around her billion-dollar brand.
In the end, while the debate over whether Kim Kardashian looked more like Paris Hilton or Beyoncé may have been a fun social media moment, fans were ultimately united in their admiration for her stunning photoshoot.
