Kim Kardashian dons a gown costing £2,650 for new Balenciaga campaign amid claims she Photoshopped her neck muscle in Instagram snap

Kim Kardashian cut an ethereal figure in a striking blue dress as she posed for Balenciaga’s latest campaign.

The reality TV star, 41, teamed the swimsuit gown which costs £2,650, with an hourglass handbag worth £1,790 from the Spanish designer brand and sleek sunglasses.

She completed the look by wearing her ash blonde hair with a side-parting and kept the ends slightly crimped to mirror the lightening in the background of the image.

The mother-of-four looks over her shoulder in a sultry pose, while appearing to walk on water in the stormy scene.

Kim shared the campaign with her 329million Instagram followers, writing: “⚡️BALENCIAGA⚡️”

Close friend Jonathan Cehban commented: “They covered the best part!”

Kim’s makeup artist Mary Phillips, wrote: “🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍”

The post has already garnered over 1.5million likes, despite it not being the first time that she has worn the figure-hugging blue dress.

Kim donned the same look at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in March 2022.

The reality star, who keeps in shape by following a plant based diet, has been encouraging fans to embrace the body positity movement.

However, critcs have blasted Kim and accused her of using Photoshop to alter her appearance in images.

Caroline Ross, or Caroline_in_thecity as she is known as on TikTok listed multiple techniques Kim allegedly used to edither shoulders.

Caroline said: “Kim K is notorious for Photoshopping out her traps

“I don’t know, maybe it makes her neck look smaller? But this area right here has been Photoshopped out.”

Caroline went on to claim that the water pattern behind her looks unnatural and warped, leaving Kim with a reflection that doesn’t look realistic.

She finished the TikTok with a comparison between the photo on Instagram and the behind the scenes video that was created during the collaboration.

‘Such a strange thing to photoshop imo’ one person commented.

“I don’t understand why they do it, the non edited original is so much better looking” another user wrote
