Kim Kardashian quickly deletes Instagram photo after fans notice wardrobe malfunction

Kim Kardashian shared and then quickly deleted a series of throwback photos after fans noticed her shapewear peeking through.

Earlier this week, the reality TV star, 42, posted a carousel of photos of herself wearing a taupe two-piece set while sitting on a couch with a friend.

Kardashian rocked a blonde wig and heavy makeup in the post, which included a photo of her alongside mom Kris Jenner and sister Kendall Jenner.

“Love finding old photos on my phone📱,” she wrote in the caption.

However, the “Kardashians” star’s shapewear was not fully covered due to the high slit in her skirt, revealing her sheer capri undergarments as she sat down.

Rather than use the photo to promote her Skims brand, Kardashian quickly scrubbed the post from her feed.

Despite deleting the post, Reddit users were quick to call attention to the wardrobe malfunction.

“She’s working those Skims y’all,” one person wrote alongside a zoomed-in photo of the shapewear.

“Ha ha ha you can see the shapewear peeking out on her leg!” another added, while a third noted that it looked like the reality TV star “edited half of her face.”

Yet others suspected that Kardashian, whose body and face appeared much darker than her natural skin tone, removed the post after being accused of black fishing.

“Which race(s) is she pretending to be?” the original user posted alongside a screenshot of the since-deleted snap.

“She genuinely looks like a WOC. She needs to stop this s—t. It’s f—king deranged,” another user replied.

“Ngl she looks great but also omg imagine just changing into a POC for clout when you want then switching back to white-passing when you’re bored of it lmaoo,” wrote a third person.

This isn’t the first time that the Skkn founder has been accused of intentionally appropriating black culture with her fashion and beauty choices.

After receiving criticism for styling her hair in waist-length braids and cornrows for years, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum tried to defend herself in a December 2021 interview with i-D magazine.

Kardashian claimed that she would often wear her hair in certain styles to appease her and Kanye West’s daughter North West, who is half Black.

“Obviously, I would never do anything to appropriate any culture. But I have in the past got backlash from putting my hair in braids and I understand that,” Kardashian said at the time.

“Honestly, a lot of the time it comes from my daughter asking us to do matching hair,” the mom of four continued.

“And I’ve had these conversations with her that are like, ‘Hey, maybe this hairstyle would be better on you and not on me.'”

While she claimed that she had “learned and grown over the years,” many social media users were not thrilled with her explanation, calling the reality TV star “lame” for using her “child as an excuse” to steal black culture.
