Kim Kardashian: Provocation as a Lifestyle or Just Another Stunt?

Kim Kardashian has once again found herself in the spotlight, but this time not because of her business or fashion accomplishments, but due to another scandal on social media.

Kim Kardashian has once again found herself in the spotlight, but this time not because of her business or fashion accomplishments, but due to another scandal on social media. Her new advertising campaign for Skims, created in collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, sparked an outcry. And all because of what seemed like a simple detail — the rosary around her neck.

In the photos posted on Instagram*, Kim poses in a white sports bra, lace tights, and shorts. Her look is completed by the rosary, which she used as an accessory. This element provoked outrage among her followers, who immediately accused her of disrespecting religious symbols.

Here are just a few of the angry comments:

"There's nothing sacred about you, so take off the rosary." "Are you going to mock other religions too?" "Why does she always wear a cross while almost naked?"

This is not the first time Kardashian has faced criticism for using religious symbols in her outfits. A recent incident with a cross that once belonged to Princess Diana caused just as much uproar. Public opinion was also outraged, accusing Kim of making an inappropriate choice.

Provocateur style has long been a part of Kim Kardashian's brand. Every appearance is not just an outfit but a carefully planned move aimed at attracting maximum attention. Discussions, scandals, even condemnation — all of it works to her advantage, fueling interest in her persona and business.

But where is the line between provocation and disrespect? Many believe that using religious symbols in revealing outfits crosses the line. Kim, for her part, prefers to stay silent, leaving the emotional storm to the internet users.

If we think about it, why do we talk about Kim Kardashian so much? The answer is simple: she's a master at working with audience attention. Her looks always balance on the edge of what is allowed. This both irritates and attracts.

Criticism has become an integral part of her popularity. And perhaps this is what makes her so successful: each scandal brings a new wave of discussions, new followers, and, as a result, new buyers for her products.

Kim Kardashian, it seems, has no intention of changing. Her lifestyle, business, and public image are built on the ability to evoke emotions. Scandals are the fuel for her career. The question is: how much longer is society willing to tolerate such provocations?

And while the internet boils, and tabloids count the views, Kim Kardashian remains at the peak of discussions, proving that the art of being provocative is not only a challenge but also a business strategy.
