In the pictures that featured in the magazine, Kim Kardashian could be seen wearing an afro wig along with luxurious diamonds and pearls. She was also seen wearing a black strapless sequined dress that was highly stylized. However, it was not Kim Kardashian's attire that caught her fans' attention. Instead, many noticed that Kim's makeup and the lighting for the shoot made her look much darker in skin tone than she actually was. This fact immediately enraged many of her fans, who took to social media and accused Kim of using blackface.
It’s not cool or cute. No I don’t feel honored as a black woman. Some fear us first bc of our chocolate, they hate & mistreat us. And you want to wear it like an accessory? Go rinse off our struggle! Anything for publicity.

Kim let's get real you gotta fire the people who work for you cause the fact that no one stood up and said that this is black face during the team meeting, the photoshoot, the editing, etc, them people just working for a paycheck.This had to go through possibly hundreds of people
