Rise of the Kim K clones: 10 celebrities who are Kardashian doppelgängers, from Huda Kattan and Sonia + Fyza, to Bling Empire’s Kim Lee and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah
- Bling Empire star Kim Lee has been called the ‘Asian Kim Kardashian’ and beauty influencer Huda Kattan the ‘Kim Kardashian of the Middle East’
- In Dubai, plastic surgeons are flooded by requests to look more like the Skims founder, and New York make-up artist Thalia Almodovar splurged US$100,000 to get her look
Magic mirror in my hand, who has the most wanted face in all the land? Dr Jason Diamond, a celebrity plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, says he has the answer: Kim Kardashian. “Kim is far and away the most highly requested face – there is not even a close second,” he told WWD.
1. Huda Kattan
Kardashian herself was responsible for boosting Kattan’s fame after declaring herself a fan of her Huda Beauty line’s first product – a set of false eyelashes – back in 2013. They became friends and Kattan also gave Kardashian’s KKW Beauty range a glowing endorsement when it was launched.
Kattan was open about the surgery work she’d had done in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, explaining that she’d had a nose job and fillers in her cheeks, face and lips.
2. Jen Shah
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star – who is currently embroiled in a wire fraud and money laundering legal scandal – is what some believe Kardashian could look like in a few years’ time. Fans of the show also can’t stop talking about how much Shah sounds and behaves like Kardashian – all the way down to the little sign on her desk that reads “I literally can’t even”. And while Shah hasn’t outright admitted to having work done, before and after photos show that she’s certainly become more Kim-like in recent years.
3. Jelena Karleuša
Who can forget Kardashian’s bold blonde look and the daring outfits that went with it? Not pop singer Jelena Karleuša, it seems. The “Lady Gaga of Serbia” quite rightly pointed out the uncanny resemblance to her own style, adding that Kardashian’s stylists might have been inspired by her Instagram account when she was spotted with the exact same sunglasses, pencil skirt, sheer black top and peroxide blonde hair. Styling aside, it’s pretty hard to tell the two apart regardless, as these photos show.
