'I've spent £1.1million living like Kim Kardashian - everyone says we look so alike'

A woman has opened up about her decision to spend more than £1.1 million living life like Kim Kardashian. Chaly D.N. says she often gets stopped in the street by people who can't get over her uncanny resemblance to the reality star, but claims their physical similarities are just down to luck.

Speaking with real-life stories platform Truly, the London-based influencer, who boasts 1.2million Instagram followers, revealed that she gets told she looks just like Kim "every single minute", adding, "every time they see me on the street, or at a party, everyone thinks I look like Kim."

Chaly's wardrobe is packed full of many of Kim's favourite gear, from designers such as Givenchy and Tom Ford. As well as a £30,000 Rolex watch, Chaly owns a £4,000 dress once worn by Kim herself, as well as a £7,000 Givenchy fur coat, just like Kim's.

Gushing over her luxurious coat, Chaly said: "This is so pretty. I wear it like, every winter. This is Kim's favourite. It's not real fur because I'm vegan. When I wear this, I feel like Kim Kardashian."

Whenever Kim wears something, Chaly wants to wear it, and has to keep changing her bags in order "to keep up with the Kardashians".

She continued: "Friends and family always tell me I have to slow down, I'm spending so much money on clothes and my looks so they're always worried."

Chaly first realised she looked like Kim when she saw a picture of her, and so began following her on Instagram, recalling, "I was like 'Oh my God, that's me. That actually looks like me. Is that me?"

She's since spent an estimated £1.1 million on cosmetic surgery, designer clothing, and accessories to keep up with Kim, but claims that, apart from, Botox, fillers, and a breast augmentation, her appearance is completely natural.

However, Chaly claims she's never actually tried to look like Kim, claiming: "I wouldn't trade my life. I've never tried to look like Kim, I just naturally look like Kim so I love myself the way I am."

"I think I will always be inspired by Kim Kardashian's look, she's so iconic and she's the most gorgeous woman in the world."
