Kim Kardashian is Naomi Campbell’s biggest fan – here’s all the times she’s stole her look

Kim Kardashian is a fashionista in her own right, with Balmain, Versace and Calvin Klein tripping over themselves to dress her.

But even worldwide style icons need to look up to someone for inspiration.

It turns out Kim has been modelling herself on Naomi Campbell, and we didn’t even realise it.

No, she’s not sparking romance rumours with Liam Payne – although that would be quite the surreal scandal.

The 38-year-old has been wearing a number of outfits lately that were previously rocked by supermodel Naomi – with some of the vintage looks modelled by Ms Campbell on the runway reappearing in Kim’s closet.

Most recently, Kim gave a nod to Clueless – ‘But it’s an Alaïa!’ – by wearing a daring cheetah-print bodysuit with black velvet accents while attending Paris Fashion Week.

While Kim teamed her Azzedine Alaïa look with a black beret, Naomi chose to go accessory free when she wore the same outfit at the Maybelline Presents 1991 Look of the Year event in 1991.

Naomi also modelled the look for Azzedine Alaïa’s ’91-’92 show – the true original.

And in December 2018, Kim wore two Naomi classics on the trot – first wearing the silver Versace mini-dress that we connected to Paris Hilton and Kendall Jenner’s 21st dresses.

Naomi wore a very similar design with a draped cowl neck at the 1997 Video Music Awards, making us wish we were at the 1997 Video Music Awards.

The night after the Versace show, Kim attended the press night of The Cher Show, and wowed in a shredded backless silver gown from Atelier Versace… which, you guessed it, was worn by Naomi first.

The 48-year-old wore the same dress to the 2015 Fragrance Foundation Awards in 2015, 17 years after she first modelled the dress on the runway.

And this copycatting extends to 2016, when Kim wore an in-your-face bondage look to a Met Gala afterparty.

The Versace dress from the aptly titled Miss S&M collection was modelled by Naomi in their 1992 show, while she brought the racy dress back for an episode of The Face in 2014.

And the hits just keep coming, as the lilac silk dress worn by Kim to Chance The Rapper’s wedding was strutted down the catwalk in 1996 by… well, you fill in the blanks.

We doubt Kim is actually stealing Naomi’s style, though – we see it more as a hat tip to one of the queens of the runway, and the 90s style Kim covets.

You know what they say – imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
