Naomi Campbell takes a swipe at Kim Kardashian after blackfishing row

Naomi Campbell has joined the debate surrounding Kim Kardashian 's latest divisive photoshoot.

In a shoot for the US version of Vogue, Kim, 41, can be seen in numerous different outfits - with several sharing a striking resemblance to ensembles Naomi worn in the past.

Since the reality TV legend's cover interview snap were released, a debate has occurred about whether the mum-of-four is 'blackfishing' in the images.

Many fans claimed Kim was attempting to look a different race in the pictures, as her skin was "darker than usual".

Supermodel Naomi seemingly agrees with the critics - 'liking' a detailed post about the accusations on Instagram on Thursday.

The post in question, shared by self-appointed fashion watchdogs Diet Prada, shared images from Kim's latest shoot alongside almost identical old images featuring Black women.

Captioning one image on their Instagram Stories, where Kim appears side-by-side with an old snap of Naomi, the anonymous account wrote: "It's giving Naomi's Vogue 2020 cover."

In the main post, Diet Prada included plenty of other examples of the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star stealing the supermodel's style over the years.

Amongst the thousands of likes on the post, followers quickly noted Naomi had also double-tapped the scathing call-out posted to Instagram on Thursday.

"Not Naomi like this post," one fan quipped in a comment posted to Diet Prada's Instagram Stories.

"She wants to be Naomi so bad," another follower commented underneath the collection of damning snaps.

A third added: "It’s the Naomi clip for me! No comparison EVER."

This isn't the first time Kim has been accused of blackfishing, or copying Naomi's iconic style.

The SKIMS founder often wears replicas of iconic looks originally debuted on the catwalk by the supermodel over the years.

In 2019, after being spotted attending Chance the Rapper's wedding in a silk and lace Versace piece that Naomi first rocked in 1996, Kim credited the British star with being her inspiration.

Posting a snap of herself in the very same dress a month later, the reality TV star captioned the tribute picture: "Naomi Forever."

"It’s funny because people were writing about it like it was some scandalous thing," she told People the same year, stressing she pays homage to the star, rather than copying her.

"I’ve always been so open that she is the ultimate fashion and glam muse. She got the best runway looks."

The aspiring lawyer then confessed she and Naomi have even talked about the matter in private.

"[We] have talked about it and laughed that it has become such a big deal, because I’ve always been so upfront with her privately about how she is my forever fashion and glam muse," Kim added.

"She is literally one of the most beautiful, iconic people that inspires me fashion- and beauty-wise."
