11 Times Kim Kardashian Was A Little Too Inspired By Naomi Campbell’s Style

It wasn’t long ago that Kim Kardashian wrote a whole emotional Twitter note decrying the everyday women’s online fashion brands who copied her expensive designer looks, sometimes within 24 hours, to make affordable versions of them for fans. According to the 38-year-old, “It’s devastating to see these fashion companies rip off designs that have taken the blood, sweat and tears of true designers who have put their all into their own original ideas.”
However, we can’t help but wonder if Naomi Campbell feels just as devastated considering the designs she’s worn, sometimes on the runway and sometimes for on-camera appearances and red carpet events, have been ripped off, per se, by Kim. One might say it’s a coincidence, but considering a few of Kim’s recent looks (as in within the last week and change) have been near if not spot-on copies of what Naomi wore in the past, we’re not so sure anymore. And without paying homage, it does feel like she’s copying our queen’s style.
Devastating…

Naomi introduced this luxurious slip-inspired Versace gown in 1996. Meanwhile, Kim wore the same exact dress to Chance the Rapper’s wedding over the weekend, and you can see it here.

Versace still creates dresses with this unique neckline, and Kim’s sister Kourtney wore a version of Naomi’s gown at the amfAR Gala earlier this year, while Naomi sported hers, possibly made from a different material, in 1995.

Not the exact same gown (Kim’s is completely strapless), but these Versace gowns bear a resemblance that folks online couldn’t help but point out. Kim wore hers in 2017, while Naomi wore hers in 1995.

Now this one is a coincidence (I think…)! This very detailed white Balmain gown was worn by Kim in June 2014, not long before Naomi was pictured wearing the same dress while modeling for the 2014 September issue of Harper’s Bazaar Mexico, shot well in advance of September.
