Kim Kardashian sparks 'blackfishing' row over divisive Vogue cover shoot

Kim Kardashian has been accused of blackfishing in new images from her Vogue photoshoot.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 41, was featured in the US version of the magazine, sharing snaps from the publication on her Instagram.

Mum-of-four Kim posed in numerous different outfits as she opened up about life after splitting from Kanye in Vogue's March issue.

She looked amazing - but fans were unimpressed at the star as they claimed she was attempting to look a different race in the images, as her skin was "darker than usual".

Taking to Twitter, others accused Kim of appropriating other cultures with the style and poses in her covershoot.

One person wrote: " Kim Kardashian is beautiful and wealthy but im really over her always blackfishing and these Fashion magazines profiting from it…André Leon Talley should’ve had this month’s Vogue Cover."

"How she "choose herself" when she's Blackfishing?" another asked.

A third penned: "As they should had because that is exactly what she was doing. Kim copies off people and their style then calls it hers own style. She has a fixation with Naomi Cambell."

Another added: "Y’all cannot kick this addiction to helping folks blackfish and it’s kind of f**king pathetic. Seriously…"

A fifth commented: "Her new era...of blackfishing? No thanks, she's been doing that for years."

It's not the first time Kim has been called out over appropriating culture.

She has previously wore her hair in braids and cornrows - which sparked fury amongst fans.

In an interview, Kim said she "would never do anything to appropriate any culture" in her style, which is sometimes influenced by her oldest daughter, North, who is biracial.

She told i-D Magazine: "Honestly, a lot of the time it comes from my daughter asking us to do matching hair."

Kim continued: "I've had these conversations with her that are like, 'Hey, maybe this hairstyle would be better on you and not on me'.

"But I also want her to feel that I can do a hairstyle with her and not make it that big of a deal either if that's something that she's really asking for, and really wants."

Kim pointed out her own cultural background, noting that "there's also a history of braiding hair in Armenia, and people forget that I am Armenian as well".
