Kim Kardashian continues to channel idol Marilyn Monroe with blonde hair transformation

Kim Kardashian continues to channel her idol Marilyn Monroe as she posed up with voluminous blonde hair on a hotel balcony for a series of glamorous shots.

The reality star is the face of a new Dolce & Gabbana fashion campaign, which seeks inspiration from the late Hollywood actress.

Mum-of-four Kim gave a sultry pout for the promotional shots for the Italian fashion house that oozed old Hollywood glamour.

Kim was snapped leaning over a concrete balcony as she posed for the camera as well as being spotted in the same outfit walking along the street.

The reality star is currently in Milan working for the brand.

Kim has been teasing the Dolce & Gabbana show on her Instagram page as she shared videos of herself.

She wrote: " La Dolce Vita #CiaoKim Watch the show live - Tomorrow at 2:30pm CEST #DolceGabbana"

Kim left little to the imagination as she wore a black low cut dress from the Italian brand and sat in the back of a limo as paparazzi snapped pictures of her.

She sported the blonde short wig with voluminous curls which looked exactly like classic beauty Marilyn's iconic hair.

Kim laughed as the hashtag #CiaoKim appeared which promoted the upcoming Dolce & Gabbana women's spring-summer 2023 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week

The Marilyn Monroe inspired look comes after Kim wore one of her dresses at the Met Gala.

Kim wore Marilyn's Happy Birthday Mr President dress to the event.

She was loaned the gown by officials at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum, where the 60-year-old dress has been stored in a temperature-controlled environment since it was bought for a record-breaking $5 million back in 2016.

In May the museum said: "Great care was taken to preserve this piece of pop culture history.

"With input from garment conservationists, appraisers, and archivists, the garment’s condition was top priority. Believe It or Not! no alterations were to be made to the dress and Kim even changed into a replica after the red carpet!⁠'"

Kim went to the Met Gala with then-boyfriend Pete Davidson.

The two of them took to the carpet hand in hand but the pair are no longer an item.

The duo called it quits nine months after meeting on Saturday Night Live when Kim was the guest host.

It's thought it was their difference in schedules what was ultimately the main reason why they broke up.

With Kim living on the west coast of the US and Pete living in New York, the two had to commit to a lot of travel time.
