Kim Kardashian is one of the most popular women in the world as well as one of the most photographed. Since rising to fame on reality television, Kardashian’s unique look has become a source of style inspiration for women everywhere, even as her own personal style has evolved dramatically over the years.

One thing that has always remained consistent is Kardashian’s curvy figure. She is renowned for having brought curvier figures to the forefront of pop-culture consciousness. Soon, fans will be able to perfectly emulate her signature asset.

In the early 2000s, Kardashian seemed to be everywhere the paparazzi was. As one of Paris Hilton’s best friends and her longtime closet organizer, Kardashian caught the attention of socialites and photographers due to her exotic, seductive looks.

In 2007, Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered, centering on Kim Kardashian and her large, busy family. The reality show made Kardashian even more famous. Soon, she began launching fragrances and signing all kinds of lucrative business deals.

Over the years, Kardashian’s image has changed a great deal, and since her marriage to Kanye West in 2013, she has become significantly more “high-fashion.” Designers and stylists scramble to dress Kardashian, but she has become very comfortable in her skin and knows exactly who she is — and the specific look that she wants to project.

Even as a mother of four, Kardashian is very active on social media and keeps her followers apprised of changes in her life. 

Kim Kardashian’s famously curvy body

In the earliest days of her fame, Kardashian was known by many people primarily for her super-curvy body. In the early 2000s, very thin models were all the rage, so Kardashian’s figure was seen as different and groundbreaking.

Moreover, many fans identified with her and loved that she was giving more voluptuous women the chance to shine. Kardashian’s rear was the subject of intense media speculation, with many critics even claiming that she had undergone butt injections in order to create her famous backside.

Kardashian slammed the rumors, even subjecting herself to an x-ray to prove that her backside was the real deal.

Although she has received some criticism over the years for the way she unabashedly shows her body off on social media, Kardashian isn’t phased by the haters. These days, the mother of four and reality show queen is still doing things her way — and her fans still love her for it. 

Designers created a replica of Kim Kardashian’s booty

For fans who really want to copy Kardashian’s backside, but don’t want to spend hours every day doing squats in the gym, there is another way. Recently, a team of New-York based fashion designers put their heads together and created an exact replica of Kim Kardashian’s booty, dubbed “The Bum.”

The piece is made of silicone and made its debut at New York Fashion Week. The piece itself took years to design and create and boasts measurements that claim to be exactly the same as Kardashian’s, with a circumference of 42 inches and measuring 15.3 inches across. “The Bum” is also rather heavy to wear and weighs close to six pounds. 

“The Bum” will be going into production soon, and will likely be tweaked a bit before becoming available for the general public to purchase. It isn’t exactly a frivolous purchase for fans; however, the replica of Kardashian’s backside will reportedly cost somewhere between $450 and $600.

Still, Kardashian’s fans will undoubtedly be lining up to purchase the unique piece and experience what it is like to live like the reality star, if only for a few hours.
