Kim Kardashian remains one of Hollywood's most controversial celebs. Personally, I admire the reality star's ability to turn the buzz of a sex tape into a multi-million dollar career.
There are plenty of celebs — can we even call them that? – who have tried similar tactics — but we're not talking about any of them today, are we?
The TV personality's success is anything but coincidence, the woman is savvy. That cunning has got to be why almost every image she posts on Instagram makes headlines within minutes.
She doesn't have to do much to be in the news, Kim Kardashian is the news. Whether you love her or hate her, most of us can't get enough of her (hence the 28.7 million Instagram followers, plus the 30.6 mil on Twitter).
We can't wait to see what she does next; whether it's dropping the game app of the century or merely dying her hair blond, there's no Kim moment that isn't noteworthy.
Thus we present Kim Kardashian's 18 most scandalous Instagram photos of all time.
SHARE if you love Kim K. — or SHARE if you love to hate Kim K.!
1. Kim K. West's short-lived blond bob shocked the internet!
After a few days, the celebutante went back to brunette because she couldn't maintain the upkeep.
2. The wedding photo that became the most Insta'ed of all time.
That's 2.4 million likes.
3. The time she became her avatar.
Yes, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood came to life for one brief moment!
4. The infamous #VampireFacial.
#VampireFacials or PRP facials don't only exist in the Kardashian world: They're totally real.
5. The Photoshop controversy. Is this Kim's real bod?
Look closely. The door seems a bit wavy which may indicate the photo was tampered with or skewed to make Kim look slimmer.
6. The custom-made Givenchy Riccardo Tisci dress that drew couch comparisons.
A pregnant Kim K. stirred controversy at the 2013 Met Gala when many compared her dress to their grandma's old couch.
She said of her dress, "My look at the Met Ball two years ago when I was really pregnant — I had these gloves and this whole floral print and I loved it. I thought it was so cool and it got a lot of criticism and I didn't care because I really loved it."
7. The no makeup selfies.
Proving she doesn't need the heavy contouring, Kim showed us what she looked like sans makeup and it was pretty flawless.
8. The time she referred to her husband as a "sidechick."
Not many others would dare to make Kanye the butt of a joke while he's in the same room.
9. The emojis that said it all.
Glad these two have the same, um, vitality as when they first met…
10. The Vogue cover that had readers boycotting the magazine.
Former Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar tweeted, "Well……I guess I'm canceling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me???" How melodramatic.
Though she wasn't the only reader who complained, the issue sold a quarter of a million copies, just a couple thousand fewer than Michelle Obama's cover. The people hath spoken, and they want Kim K.!
11. The time she proved her and Nori were basically identical.
The similarities are uncanny!
12. The adorable first photo of baby North West.
Just look at the baby burrito!
13. The time she acknowledged this officer's wandering eyes.
Didn't know there was really a "booty patrol."
14. The Insta that explained North's frown in front of the paparazzi.
Many complained about North's visible discomfort in front of the cameras and blamed Kim for…taking her outside.
15. The Insta that showed how happy she is at home.
Turns out Nori gets the intimidation tactic straight from her parents.
16. The time she met Obama and created world peace.
Kanye claims Obama calls him at home. Obama claims he does not. When will the lies end?
17. The acupuncture selfie.
Should she be doing this with full makeup?
18. The swollen pregnancy feet that floored a nation.
Who doesn't love a woman that portrays pregnancy honestly?
