Kim Kardashian has been awarded $2.7 million (£2.1 million) after suing a “fast fashion” brand she accused of ripping off her outfits.
The reality star alleged that Missguided USA used her celebrity to sell clothes and was “notorious” for “knocking off” designer items she wore.
Her lawsuit said the retailer “uses the names and image” of stars to promote its website.
Missguided USA failed to defend itself and a default judgment was made at a court in California, awarding the damages and about £47,000 in legal fees.
The judge also banned Missguided USA from using Kardashian’s “trademarks in connection with the sale, marketing or distribution of its products”.
Missguided was set up in Manchester in 2009 by Nitin Passi.
