Makeup-free Kim Kardashian looks unrecognisable after 'blackface' allegations

Kim Kardashian looked worlds away from her usual glitzy, red carpet vibes as she opted to go makeup-free with a baggy grey tracksuit following allegations that she'd adopted 'blackface' during a recent photo shoot.

Some fans were outraged by the shoot, which they allege features Kim - of Armenian descent - looking darker-skinned than usual.

One wrote: "I don't understand how a magazine in this day and age could do something like this? This is f**king digusting."

Now she's stepped out without makeup and the tracksuit, as well as some beige sandals.

She also carried a snakeskin-style handbag worth £7,000.

Others fans also lashed out, with one telling her: "Kim you will never be a black woman."

Another scolded: "Wtf is this, be yourself, stop this...Especially since black women are still demonized for our skin."

A source close to Kim addressed the accusations by saying it was "the lighting that makes her look darker in this specific image."

Kim, 39, is the second eldest child in the Kardashian-Jenner brood, with her family recently coming under fire from disgruntled I'm A Celeb fans who reckoned they weren't doing enough to cheer on Caitlyn Jenner .

Caitlyn wasn't met at the end of the bridge by any family members once she'd left camp, instead meeting up with new pals James Haskell and Myles Stephenson.

Kim wasn't having any of it, thought, striking out against the accusations by claiming that ITV had never approached her or her family for their opinion.

She scolded: "No one from I'm A Celeb even reached out and asked for letters, appearances or anything from any Kardashians or Jenners."

Sister Kendall let fans know that was on Team Caitlyn, even if she wasn't public with her support.

"Always rooting for you!" she penned, "Strongest person in the world. Just cuz I'm not posting doesn't mean I'm not supporting."

Kim's also been clearing up rumours surrounding youngest sister Kylie and her ex Travis Scott.

She insisted on The Ellen Show that rumours Kylie and Travis had been secretly engaged before their split earlier this year.

Ellen wanted to know if Kylie and Travis could be back on, Kim replying: "I don't know.

"Isn't that what I always say when I come here?"
