Kim Kardashian‘s latest Instagram post and skimpy outfit has caused quite a stir. The reality star, 43, rocked a long, brown furry Balenciaga coat paired with sheer tights this week, while opting to go topless for her risqué photoshoot.
Although some fans have commended her daring fashion choices, others have taken to the comments section of her March 25th post to criticize Kardashian for allegedly copying the sultry and skin-baring style of her ex-husband Kanye West‘s new wife, Bianca Censori.

Is Kim Kardashian ‘Copying’ Kanye West’s Wife’s Bianca Censori And Her Style? Here’s Why Fans Think So
Kardashian captioned her post with a smiley sunglasses emoji for her 364 million followers. To complete her look, she added chic oversized black shades and wore her signature raven tresses in a slicked-back updo. Fans headed to her comments section to share their thoughts. “Channelling your X’s new wife???” one wrote, regarding Kardashian’s former spouse, West, 46, (legally known as Ye) and his 29-year-old wife, Censori.
The SKIMS mogul and Grammy winner tied the knot in 2014, finalized their highly publicized divorce in 2o22 and share four children: North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 4. According to TMZ, Ye and Censori exchanged vows in a cozy ceremony in January 2023. The same source disclosed that the couple has not yet acquired a formal marriage certificate.
This week, more fans compared Kardashian's new ensemble to something Censori might wear, as one commented beneath her new post: "Inspired by Censori." Another added: "It’s giving Censori." Someone else concurred, writing: "I guess she’s competing with the new wife" as one other chimed in: "Looking like her exes new wife??" An additional fan wrote: "this is pathetic." Others, however, defended Kardashian's style, and insisted that Censori is the one "copying" her.
Over the past few months, Censori has stepped out in extremely racy outfits, with many fans even accusing her husband Ye of "forcing" her to wear the barely-there clothing, "controlling" her, and turning her into a "clone" of his ex-wife, Kardashian.
"Kim’s been wearing things like that for years," one fan wrote as another added: "Kim used to wear this when she was with Kanye." Someone else agreed, replying: "Kim has worn fur coats all her life lol."
Last week, criticism of Ye was further fueled by his visit with Censori to The Cheesecake Factory in Los Angeles, during which the “Runaway” rapper wore an all-black outfit consisting of a hoodie, sweatpants, and boots, while his wife sported a revealing skin-toned strapless bra top and curve-hugging neon green stockings that were extremely low-cut.
Fans on Instagram pointed out that Censori appeared somber and uncomfortable in the outfit, as seen in paparazzi-snapped footage, leading them to believe that her husband may have coerced her into wearing it. Many noted that the Donda artist always arrives fully covered in public (sometimes his face, too) while Censori is dressed in very risqué clothing.
On March 19th, The Daily Mail uploaded a new Instagram video of Ye and Censori walking into The Cheesecake Factory. In the post's comment section, many fans shared their thoughts, expressing concern for Censori and criticizing the "Flashing Lights" hitmaker.
These fresh "controlling" accusations come after an insider allegedly disclosed to The Daily Mail earlier this year that Ye prevents Censori from accessing social media as a means of "protecting" her. "Bianca has always had social media, and she was active on it — until she married Kanye," the source dished. "He doesn’t want her to have it because he thinks that it will hurt her if she had to read the nasty things that people say."
The insider went on: "He is pushing her nakedness all over his own [account] so that he can control her narrative. It is disturbing, and by shutting her off from the world he is causing her to become more and more isolated."
According to another source who allegedly sat down with OK! Magazine, "Kanye clearly set out to clone Kim [Kardashian], which disgusts her, but the truth is, it also fascinates her in a morbid way."
The source continued: "It's just so creepy." In a recent report from the outlet, an insider dished to the mag that "even though [Kardashian would] never want [Ye] back, this is still messing with her head." They also claimed to be close to Kardashian. "It’s like he’s turned Bianca into his personal robot," they added, "with the added indignity that she’s paraded around half-naked all the time."
Even though Ye has been married to his new spouse for over a year, insiders report that he remains "obsessed" with Kardashian, and is trying to mold Censori into a likeness of his former partner.
