Kim Kardashian showcased her dramatic weight loss as she slipped into one of Janet Jackson's iconic outfits.

The reality star-turned-lawyer purchased Janet's outfit from the iconic 1993 music video for her single, If, three years ago at an auction. Kim, 43, spent a whopping $25,000 (£19,571) on the costume back in 2021, explaining she was "such a fan". At the time, Kim took to her Instagram Stories saying: "For @janetjackson's bday bc I'm such a fan I can't believe I won this on juliens_auctions. Happy birthday queen!"

During the auction, Janet, 58, auctioned off a string of her own possessions that she had collected from childhood until the current day. But she made the most of Janet's look as she slipped into the jacket of the iconic look for her concert in Palm Springs on Tuesday, June 4.

Taking to Instagram, Kim shared a clip of her walking as she captioned it: "Can you guys guess where I'm going tonight? I bet you will never guess." A later clip showed her in the backseat of a car, giving a glimpse of the jacket and matching necklace. But as the concert grew closer, she shared a video of her toned torso and her slimmed-down waist.

The star rocked a pair of cowgirl-esque trousers with the famous jacket as she held onto the waistband before dancing the night away. Her famous platinum blonde tresses were styled into natural waves as though she had just stepped out of the Pacific Ocean.

Kim is no stranger to gruelling workouts and often documents her intense gym routines with fans on social media and her Hulu show, The Kardashians. "I'm spamming tonight so unless u wanna see so much @janetjackson content I suggest u stay off my page (sic)," she told her followers.

Reality legend Kim is no stranger to rocking iconic looks worn by stars, having previously worn Marilyn Monroe's famous rhinestone dress to the Met Gala. At the time, Kim was criticised for wearing the original dress on the red carpet after it had been on display at Ripley's Museum. Kris Jenner's daughter underwent a dramatic makeover to ensure she could slip into the dress worn by Monroe to sing Happy Birthday Mr. President to JF Kennedy on May 19, 1962.

Kardashian, however, only wore the dress for five minutes, having lost 7.3kg in three weeks in order to fit it. She later slipped into a replica once inside the event. Speaking previously about her weight loss regime, Kim told Allure in August 2022 that she was under strict supervision from a nutritionist and trainer, assuring fans that she wasn't "starving and doing it really unhealthy". However, she did say that her diet and workouts caused her to have a painful psoriasis flare-up.

"There are so many things out there that are so not accurate and not true," she said. In recent months, her figure has come into question by online sleuths after she was spotted with a tiny waist at this year's Met Ball in New York while rocking a tiny corset as she appeared to struggle on the red carpet.
