You almost don’t recognize her: In her latest Instagram post, the recently blonde Kim Kardashian shows up with an unusual hairstyle and bleached eyebrows. Only her downside reveals that it is really about the 41-year-old.

“Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are” is a well-known saying. With a look at Kim Kardashian’s latest photo shoot, it could also be appropriately read: “Show me your back side and I’ll tell you who you are”. Because on the cover of the latest issue of the US magazine “Interview”, the reality TV actress is hardly recognizable. Only her notorious butt makes it unmistakably clear who this is about.

On the cover, Kardashian poses in front of a giant US flag. Unusual: she bleached her eyebrows and hid her hair, which had recently been bleached anyway, under an even lighter wig. She had this styled into a 70s hairstyle. The 41-year-old combines the look with a denim jacket and matching trousers. She turns her back on the readership, looks over her shoulder – and draws blank. At least her pants sit under her bare bottom. Your skin is only covered by a tight jockstrap.

The motto of the issue was “American Dream”, explains Kardashian the inspiration for the photo shoot on her Instagram page. The mother of four is also patriotic in the other pictures: She poses in a white crop top with the inscription “Made in America” ??and with her pants down in front of a locker or simply leaves the pants completely and looks lasciviously at the camera, just dressed in leather jacket and stars and stripes panties.

In an interview with the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Mel Ottenberg, Kardashian can’t stop raving about the shoot. “Oh my god. I loved it,” she says. “Working with Nadia Lee (Cohen) – we just get along so well when we shoot together. She’s the first photographer I’ve really let loose with.” Accordingly, the team was against the entrepreneur wearing a jockstrap. But she didn’t give in: “I’m best when I ignore her and do what I want, so I’m glad we did it.”

However, the reactions to the photo series on Instagram are mixed. While some respond with a fire emoji, many other followers have to look multiple times to recognize Kardashian. It is sometimes said that she looks like Lady Gaga, Uma Thurman or influencer Jeffree Star. A fan slammed the brow tint for making Kardashian look “30 years older.” “Worst look ever,” judges a fan. Another user just finds the photo “cringe”.
