Another day, another reason why Kylie Jenner is being dragged through the mud by critics
-- this time around after posting an apparently unrecognizable photo looking like Khloe Kardashian
and according to fans trying to be Beyonce…
The things we read on the internet…
What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad back here on Clevver News, and happy Friday -- congrats,
we’ve made it to the weekend!
But maybe it’s a not-so-happy Friday for Kylie Jenner, who is once again being dragged
by fans for her latest photo shoot.
So we all know that Kylie is known for serving looks on the daily.
Whether she’s in the car, on vacation, running errands, let’s just say she can basically
serve up looks in her sleep.
For example, just last weekend, Kylie and her BFF Stassie posed for the camera while
on vacation, wearing nothing but sheer maxi dresses.
Yeah, it was a whole less-than-shocking ordeal, but fans quickly moved on as soon as Kylie
posted yet another photo of herself… but this time she debuted a completely different
look, hair style, and all around vibe.
She took to social media yesterday to share a series of photos, wearing a Tom Ford neon
green leopard bodycon dress with thick wavy hair and a completely done-up face.
Kylie captioned the first photo, “giving you baby mama drama honey,” and must’ve
put something out into the universe, because the baby mama drama is REAL.
These photos generated a wave of backlash from fans and critics who had to do a double-take
claiming that this doesn’t even look like Kylie.
At first glance, many fans thought this looks like Kylie’s sister Khloe and a look that
Khloe previously debuted… but then there were also fans in the comments section saying
they believed Kylie was trying to look like Beyonce.
Many Twitter users expressed their distaste for Kylie’s look, writing things like, “Is
this Kylie Jenner dressed up as Khloe Kardashian dressed up as Beyoncé?”
And while utilizing as little words as possible, another fan shared a video of Beyonce looking
unamused, with the caption, “Well well…”
Fans are clearly not letting this get past them, but I’m curious to know what you guys
think… at first glance, did you even recognize Kylie?
Get the conversation going down here in the comments, but I should warn you that things
eventually started to get much more serious.
Some fans believed that this was an example of the KarJenner’s appropriating black culture
and pointing out this isn’t the first time they’ve been accused of such.
One Twitter user said, “Ok, now this is definitely cultural appropriation and damn
near "Blackface" or even something new called "Brownface!"
The big lips, the tan skin, the curly hair, etc.
Shorty used to look like Kim K who was looking like Vanessa Bryant to now Beyonce!
Next it's Lizzo!
LOL.”
Another user took to Twitter, asking, “When will your family be done cosplaying Black
women?”
More recently in December, Kim Kardashian came under fire for a 7 Hollywood Magazine
shoot where she appeared unrecognizable and much darker than usual.
Twitter users pointed out the fact that Kim looked much less like herself, and much more
like some legendary Black stars like Diana Ross, Dorothy Dandrige, and even modern day
stars like Taraji P. Henson and Tracee Ellis Ross.
Khloe has also been scrutinized for wearing cornrows and for sporting a blonde Diana Ross-inspired
afro wig last year.
We should also point out that not only were critics pissed that Kylie tried to imitate
Beyonce’s look, many were also pissed that Kylie was even being compared to Beyonce in
the first place.
One user shared a GIF of a disgusted and confused facial expression alongside a tweet that read,
“Y’all will never convince me that Kylie Jenner looks like Beyoncé Giselle knowles
- Carter.
On a good day with hella makeup or bad.
She can be in a Beyoncé costume and I won’t jack it.
You bitches is wild and disrespectful.”
No offense to Kylie, buuuuut Beyonce comparisons are never and should never be a thing… but
that’s just me.
We all know there is only ONE Beyonce.
Alright so many points have been made here today, but it’s time I turn this over to
you guys.
I’m curious to hear your initial thoughts on Kylie’s recent photo shoot, and do you
agree with fans that the KarJenners need to be more conscious of what they pose in?
