Kim Kardashian fans were outraged, claiming the star is "ripping off" not only her daughter's stage debut but also her ex-husband's new wife in a recent photoshoot.
Kim was accused of stealing North West's spotlight after she took to Instagram late Tuesday night to share her latest photoshoot, where she posed in a variety of oversized garments enveloped in yellow fur.
Some photos revealed her skin-tight cream-colored bodysuit and white stockings beneath all the fur, complemented by brown leather accessories that added a pop of color.

The abstract look quickly received backlash for its striking resemblance to the yellow-furred outfit North West wore during her stage debut at the Lion King’s anniversary concert last week, which had already faced widespread criticism.
Viewers didn’t hold back in the socialite’s comment section, as one declared: “Imagine paying to let your daughter have a moment then not letting your daughter have a moment.”
Others were even more enraged at the thought of North’s role being “just a promotional stunt” while some claimed the 43-year-old had simply copied another look from her ex-husband’s new wife, Bianca Censori.
Kim's attire was strikingly identical to North's, which included an oversized yellow sweater, matching basketball shorts, fuzzy yellow boots, and a giant yellow hood with fur to create the appearance of a mane while she performed the well-known song I Just Can't Wait To Be King.
Fans quickly defended the 10-year-old when they thought her mother was attempting to take center stage at North's May Hollywood Bowl debut, which drew criticism for possible nepotism behind her starring part as Young Simba.
One hit back: “I guess you want a part in lion king as well."
A second added: “One thing she gone do is upstage her daughter cause she bought the stage.”

“You couldn't let your daughter have a moment u had to wear it too,” another enraged fan claimed.
Elsewhere in the comments, viewers compared The Kardashians star to Big Bird from Sesame Street while some claimed she was “watching Censori too much”, referring to Kanye West’s current wife.
The 29-year-old Australian model has made headlines for her daring fashion sense, and Kim’s latest look mirrored some of Bianca’s preferences for light-colored stockings, bodysuits, and oversized fur garments.
