Kim, the ever-evolving chameleon, wasn't just content with a bikini. She upped the ante with a matching eye mask by Zana Bayne, turning heads and sparking debates - was this Kim or Marilyn reincarnated? Styled by Chris Appleton, her hair was a perfect ode to Monroe's iconic crop, and makeup artist Kali Kennedy transformed her brows to skinny perfection.

As soon as these sultry snaps hit the 'gram, the comments section lit up like the Fourth of July. Model Winnie Harlow couldn't contain her shock, "So.. you're telling me this isn't Marilyn Monroe? " Fans and followers alike drew parallels to Monroe's playful shoot with a stuffed tiger toy, calling Kim "such an icon" and praising her "Monroe Style elegance & sexy."

This isn't Kim's first rodeo channeling the legendary blonde bombshell. Who could forget her 2022 Met Gala appearance in Monroe's actual "Happy Birthday Mr. President" dress? Despite the controversy, Kim's dedication to embodying Monroe's spirit was undeniable, from the strict diet and exercise regimen to slipping into Monroe mode for a Dolce & Gabbana campaign.
