Kim Kardashian is making some fans do a double take. Last week, the SKIMS founder, 43, caught the attention of many followers who were surprised by her appearance in a photo she shared on her Instagram Story. In the picture, the Kardashians star appeared notably pale and some users on social media found it difficult to “recognize” her.
Kardashian donned a glittery, sheer, crystal-adorned and intricate get-up in the shot and wore her then-blonde hair down, as she posed with her friend, visual artist Mert Alas. The reality star shared the snap with her 364 million IG followers. Alas, 53, stood behind Kardashian and wrapped his arms around her in a loving hug.
The mom of four beamed, smiling happily and donning heavy makeup. The U.S. Sun reported that the photo of Kardashian recently sparked discussion among fans on Reddit, with many remarking on her noticeable “different look” while speculating about the reasons behind it.
Kim Kardashian Makes Fans Do A Double Take With 'Pale' And 'Different' Look In New Instagram Pic
Kardashian has been sporting her signature shiny raven tresses lately, and this pic appears to be from when she had dyed her hair an eye-catching platinum blonde shade. As for her makeup look, the SKKN mogul wore black liner, smokey eyeshadow, sky-high lashes, a touch of blush and a glossy light pink lip as well as very light foundation.
On Reddit, according to the outlet, one fan shared the photo and wrote: "Who is this again?" Another commented: "Crazy how she doesn’t even look like the same person anymore." Someone else chimed in: "She looks like a straight up alien at this point." One other deemed her look here to be "ghastly" as one fan thought that her smile might have been making her look different, and that it was "so scary and weird."
Others theorized that a filter or digital-altering tool may have been used on the photo. Kardashian is no stranger to Photoshop fail claims and photo-editing accusations. Most recently, fans claimed that another photo of hers might have been edited, and expressed their concerns for Kardashian regarding her recent weight loss.

Earlier this year, the mom of four shared a nine-part photo collection post in which she modeled an iridescent lilac minidress. The strapless item by Rick Owens featured a low-cut v-shaped neckline, a waist-emphasizing fit and thigh-skimming hemline. Kardashian captioned her upload: “purple reign” with violet heart emojis.
Her comment section was divided, as many praised the chic and flirty ensemble, and others shared their worries for Kardashian’s well-being. “So gorgeous” one wrote as someone else commented: “love that dress so much.” To complete her look, the Kardashians star added oversized black shades with purple lenses and she wore her signature long raven tresses in a long, slicked-back braid. As for her makeup look, the SKIMS mogul went for black liner, voluminous lashes, radiant blush and a dusty rose pink pout.
Many users headed to the comments to point out that she looked “skinner” in this garment. “Kim is becoming too skinny,” one wrote as another replied: “what happened to bbl kim.” Others accused the SKKN founder of taking Ozempic to shed more pounds.

Kardashian has been open about how her commitment to a healthy diet and fitness routine has had a transformative effect on her body. In the spring of 2022, she lost 16 pounds in just three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe‘s iconic dress for the 2022 Met Gala, but she made it clear that she achieved this weight loss in a “healthy” manner.
Despite countless online critics expressing concern that such rapid weight loss was toxic and unsafe, Kardashian emphasized that her goal was simply to fit into the dress, and that she “didn’t do anything unhealthy” when working towards it.
In an interview on The Today Show last year, she said that she “cut out sugar, junk food and fried foods” from her diet. In the months after the Met Gala, she also told her followers several times that she committed herself to daily, strenuous 5 a.m. workouts to sustain her reduced physique.
