Kim Kardashian roundly criticized for wearing rosary beads in steamy photoshoot

Kim Kardashian has come under fire after sharing photos from her latest Skims x Dolce & Gabbana collaboration.

The reality star posed in a revealing white lingerie set, accessorized with rosary beads and a cross necklace, sparking accusations of disrespect toward religious symbols.

In the photos shared on Instagram, Kardashian wore a cotton balconette bra, boxer shorts, and lace leggings. One pose, in which she pulled her shorts down to nearly expose herself, drew particular criticism. Fans were quick to express their disapproval of the combination of religious imagery and the provocative shoot.

"I don't feel right with a rosary and this type of photo shoot," one follower commented.

"Would you make a mockery of other religions too?" another fan questioned.

Others called the choice "beyond shameful."

Fans accuse Kardashian of religious insensitivity

The backlash was largely centered on the use of the rosary, a sacred item in Catholicism, which many felt was inappropriate for such a context.

"Nothing about you is holy; take the rosaries off," one person remarked.

Critics also questioned why Kardashian frequently incorporates crosses and other religious symbols into revealing outfits, calling it a recurring issue.

Despite the controversy, Kardashian's collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana has been met with significant commercial success. When the collection launched on Tuesday, the brand's website briefly crashed due to overwhelming demand. While many items sold out quickly, luxury pieces like a leopard-print silk pajama set and a leopard-print catsuit are still available.

This isn't the first time Kardashian has faced scrutiny for blending religious imagery with high-fashion shoots. Her choices often spark debates about the intersection of artistic expression and cultural sensitivity.

Kardashian has not yet addressed the criticism, but her ability to generate attention, both positive and negative, continues to fuel her brand's influence. Whether this latest controversy will affect her reputation or further bolster her ventures remains uncertain.
