Kim Kardashian Poses For Naked Selfie Because She Has “Nothing to Wear”

Kim Kardashian’s 62.5 million followers were in for a surprise when they checked Instagram this morning. The reality TV star posted a mirror selfie around midnight last night, which was nothing out of the ordinary…except it was of the NSFW variety. The photo shows Kim posing in front of a bathroom mirror completely naked (with two black bars tastefully censoring her body, of course). Her reasoning? She had “nothing to wear LOL.”


 

When you’re like I have nothing to wear LOL

As always, some commenters praised her while others shamed her. Yet no one could deny Kim appeared to be in great shape just three months after giving birth to her second child, Saint West. This led to some speculation about when the selfie was actually taken. She first debuted her plaitnum blonde hair at Paris Fashion Week last year but has since returned to her natural brunette locks—though she did briefly don a blonde wig at Kanye’s Yeezy Season 3 and The Life of Pablo launch last month.

Kim later clarified the confusion by posting another photo of herself with blonde hair captioned “Paris flashback BTS,” confirming that the previous selfie was in fact from last year.

Whether it was an old photo or a more recent one, Kim looks great. With the media’s constant scrutiny of her body, when she’s pregnant and even when she’s not, all power to her for being confident enough in her body to share such a selfie with the world.
