 Kim Kardashian’s latest SKIMS campaign has sparked widespread outrage after fans noticed a controversial accessory in her provocative photoshoot.

The reality star posed in a revealing all-white ensemble, featuring a push-up bra, biker shorts, and sheer lacy tights, accessorized with a rosary. 

Critics were quick to condemn her use of the Catholic symbol, which holds deep religious significance, as part of her fashion statement.

“The f--k you wearing a rosary for,” one fan fumed, while another added, “The Holy Rosary is not an accessory!!!” 

A third commenter wrote, “Nothing about you is holy, take the rosaries off lol,” referencing Kim’s past controversies. 

Another fan scolded, “Wearing a cross while being half naked. Would you make a mockery out of other religions too?”

Rosary beads are sacred in Catholicism, used to guide prayers such as the Hail Mary and the Apostles' Creed. 

Fans accused Kardashian of disrespecting the faith, with one stating, “Shame on her!”

Despite the backlash, Kim promoted the campaign, captioning her post, “The exclusive Dolce&Gabanna x SKIMS collection is almost sold out! Shop for a limited time on SKIMS.com, in SKIMS stores, and at select #DolceGabbana boutiques.”

This isn’t the first time Kardashian has faced criticism for her campaigns. Fans previously slammed her for being “tone-deaf” after releasing a holiday lingerie video amidst political and social tensions during election season.

Kim Kardashian’s latest controversy continues to fuel debates about the intersection of fashion, faith, and respect for cultural symbols.
