Kim Kardashian knows how to make headlines and heads turn. The American reality show queen recently did it again when she made an appearance at a beauty awards show wearing a racy black vintage dress by Mugler, leaving little to the imagination. The tight black dress was cut out around her chest and had a sexy thigh-high slit as well. She finished off her look with a pair of strappy stilettos, subtle make-up and a slicked back top knot.
Barely hours after the ceremony, popular Instagram page Diet Prada made a shocking revelation. The page brought to notice that Fashion Nova released a knockoff just two hours after Kim was seen in the dress with model Yodit Yemane sporting the exact same racy outfit. The file was even labelled "Kim Dress" in the video leaked by the model, while it is not being called the "Winning Beauty Cut our Gown". The page even went on to reveal that the pictures were shot four days before Kim wore the dress! Could it be a sneaky collaboration with the brand?
UPDATE: See stories for a screenshot of the date of the Capture One session (it’s labeled 02-14-19). Fashion Nova Mugler knockoff shot 4 days before Kim wore it on 02/18/19. Kim, you’ll never fess up to your sneaky lil collaborations, but we got all the receipts ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At some point recently, a fast fashion photo shoot happened featuring a vintage Mugler dress that @kimkardashian just happened to wear on Sunday night to the Hollywood Beauty Awards...and yes, it appears to be a real dress, not photoshop. Ahead of Fashion Nova releasing the dress at 9pm EST tonight, house model Yodit Yemane may or may not have accidentally leaked a story 2.5 hours earlier of photo options from her shoot featuring the Mugler replica. The file names were even labeled “Kim dress” while it’s now being called “Winning Beauty Cut Out Gown” lol. This begs the question: Did Fashion Nova whip up the dress overnight in their Los Angeles atelier after seeing Kim in it or is she peddling her vintage finds to mass retailers ahead of debuting them for a calculated, timely release? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ : Getty #kimkardashian #mugler #thierrymugler #manfredthierrymugler #bodycon #cutout #barelythere #strappy #straps #black #vintage #dress #velvet #fashionnova #wiwt #ootd #kuwtk #hollywood #beauty #kkwbeauty #kardashian #ecommerce #shady #smh #photoshoot #model #fashionmodel #dietprada
This is not the first time that Kim has been called out for ratting out designs. Last year, Fashion Nova also dropped their own version of Kylie's birthday looks just hours after she sported it. "Dieters, is this a thinly veiled collab?" Diet Prada asked their followers. "We think we smell a rat", they added while bringing up the problem of there being a lack of transparency when it comes to celebrity endorsements on social media.
Hey Kim, we're onto your little game. Just when you thought nothing would top the fake-out "confession" of Kendall's Proactiv ad, the Kardashians do it again. @kimkardashian posted a picture of herself in an old dress Kanye made for her, presumably under his Yeezy label, with a pithy caption pleading for fast fashion brands to let her wear the dress before knocking it off. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Three hours after her post, it popped up on quick-turn retailer @missguided , who has entire website sections dedicated to kopying the Kardashian style. Last year, Fashion Nova famously dropped their own versions of Kylie's custom birthday looks mere hours after she posted them. The lack of transparency around celebrity endorsements is a big problem facing social media. We think we smell a rat. Dieters, is this a thinly veiled collab, or does Missguided have a secret atelier of magical elves making stretchy dresses round the clock and shooting them on Kim K doppelgängers? Lol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kimkardashian #missguided #literally #fastfashion #collab #transparency #designer #yeezy #ye #kanye #kimye #collaboration #magicalelves #speedtomarket #retail #luxurybrand #kardashian #kuwtk #fashionnova #ootd #wiwt #dietprada
What do you think? Is Kim ratting out her designs and collaborating to make fakes or is it just a mere coincidence? Let us know in the comment section below.
