Kylie Jenner doesn't only look like Cillian Murphy, fans say — and Kim's inspired her share of funny memes

LOVE them, hate them, you can't deny their influence: a lot of people want to look like the Kardashians.

But sometimes, the Kardashians look like other people — or even characters, cartoons, and cuts of meat.

KYLIE AND CILLIAN

Award shows are prime breeding grounds for memes, and the 2024 Golden Globes was no exception.

Kylie Jenner's appearance at the event alongside nominee boyfriend Timothée Chalamet certainly sparked some chatter on social media.

But her face — and its bizarre resemblance to another nominee — also raised eyebrows.

Viewers couldn't help but notice that the 26-year-old reality star looked quite a bit like 47-year-old Oppenheimer actor Cillian Murphy.

Naturally, it set off a frenzy of tweets.

"The difference is Kylie PAID to look like that," wrote one X user of the twinning pair.

"Imagine spending that much money on plastic surgery just to be told you look like a man in his late forties," added another.

"Lol Kylie spending a fortune on plastic surgery just to look like a waxwork of Cillian that is starting to melt is wild," snarked a third.

KYLIE AND A "BREAD PUPPET"

Unfortunately for Kylie, this month wasn't the first time social media users made unflattering comparisons.

In November, a popular Reddit post compared Kylie's face to a cartoon.

"Kylie Jenner looks like that bread puppet after all that work done," wrote the poster, sharing a side-by-side comparison.

That "bread puppet," a commenter clarified, is Loafer the Living Bread/Almighty Loaf from the Christian television show Donut Man.

KRIS AND MICHAEL JACKSON

Kris Jenner, 68, and Michael Jackson have at leat one thing in common: both have been plagued by plastic surgery rumors.

The late Thriller singer insisted he only ever had a nose job, while Kris has only admitted to Botox and earlobe reduction.

But fans see some common threads in their faces.

"My new favorite conspiracy theory is that Kris Jenner is actually Michael Jackson," wrote one.

"Why does Kris Jenner look like Michael Jackson these days?? Am I the only one who sees it?" tweeted another.

In April 2016, even Chris Rock got in on the jokes, sharing a photo of the King of Pop with the words, 'This is my favorite picture of Kris Jenner.

KHLOE AND ELVIS PRESLEY

By now, Khloe Kardashian is certainly used to people on the internet saying she looks like one person or another.

Some fans have spent years doubting her paternity — but not every mention of lookalike status suggests secret family members.

In fact, there's one comparison the 39-year-old probably didn't see coming.

'Elvis and Khloe are a pair of time-traveling twins,' one social media user wrote

"Conspiracy theory: Khloe Kardashian is actually Elvis Presley," declared Halieghaa on X.

"Plot twist: Khloe isn’t OJ’s daughter, she’s Elvis,’" joked another.

Of course, that would be mathematically impossible, as Elvis died in 1977 and Khloe was born in 1984.

"Elvis and Khloe are a pair of time-traveling twins," yet another wrote.

KOURTNEY AND SNOOKI

Fans said Kourtney Kardashian, 44, was channeling Jersey Shore star Snooki when she stepped out in a leopard-print headband in 2013.

Snooki could certainly see the resemblance.

In February of 2019, she posted a snap with her friend Joey Camasta and said they were the "Walmart version of" Kourtney and her ex, Scott Disick.

KIM AND DONATELLA VERSACE

Kim Kardashian, 43, has been subjected to some cruel comparisons over the years — and memes fat-shaming her during her pregnancies have been declared distinctly unfunny.

But for over a decade, her resemblance to another star has been raising eyebrows, especially when she dyes her hair blonde.

"Kim K looks like Donatella V. from the past with platinum blonde hair ... it really shows the work she's had done in her face," said one fan.

"Kim Kardashian looks like a younger version of Donatella Versace," said another.

KIM AND MRS. DOUBTFIRE

The dress that launched a thousand memes: Kim's floral-print Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown at the 2013 Met Gala was easily the most memorable look of the night.

Though Kim suggested black fabric, Tisci insisted on floral — a controversial decision, but a scene-stealing one for sure.

Memes poured in comparing her to everything from a sofa to curtains, but jokes pinning her against Mrs. Doubtfire caught Kim's attention.

“I think Robin Williams even tweeted it, said I looked like Mrs. Doubtfire,” she told Vogue. “I was crying the whole way home because I just couldn’t believe it.”

KIM AND A HAM

In 2019, Kim stunned in another Met Gala look — but this time, it was all sex appeal.

Her skin-tone Thierry Mugler dress appeared to be dripped wet but was actually covered in a water-like crystal design.

Fashion fans were mostly in awe of the dress, calling it "stunning" and "ingenious."

But it seems that no matter what, there will always be haters, and one less-than-complimentary meme compared her to a roasted ham.

KIM AND A DEMENTOR

By now, Kim's a Met Gala staple and more than happy to take fashion risks, even if not everyone likes her choice.

In 2021, she turned up in a black Balenciaga dress — and gloves, and boots, and even a mask.

Vogue gushed that she "rewrote the red carpet’s rules" and "gave the crowd something new and inventive."

But social media users had other thoughts.

"Kim K really going to the Met Gala as a dementor," wrote one, showing her up against Harry Potter's spooky Azkaban guards.

"A Dementor wanting to be fashionable," said another.

"Voldemort sending a message to the Met Gala," wrote a third.
