Publish date: 2024-06-28

Khloé Kardashian is setting the record straight amid controversy about her Halloween costume. Khloé shared a detailed explanation of their makeup and transformation on her Instagram Story, addresing the sharp criticism.

The reality star, her sister Kim, and friends Olivia Pierson and Natalie Harco dressed up as Bratz dolls, and while many praised their iconic look, some critics raised concerns.

In the post, the businesswoman clarified that they used silicone prosthetic lips, concealed their natural brows, and painted on fake eyebrows much higher than their real ones. This was done to achieve the doll-like effect, making their eyes appear larger.

Khloé's fans vs. haters

Despite the detailed clarification, the most significant critique came from those who pointed out the tan Khloé appeared to be sporting, which some perceived as "blackfishing."

One social media user questioned, "So blackface is ok if you're rich enough?" while another expressed feeling "very confused and bothered" by her appearance.

In response, some fans defended Khloé, mentioning that given her Armenian heritage she can get a real tan. They urged critics to stop being so negative.

The Bratz doll group costume was a hit among followers, with many praising it as adorable and iconic. However, it's clear that it also stirred some controversy.

The youngest Kardashian had a fun Halloween night

Khloé, on the other hand, didn't let the haters get her down. She later showcased a second Halloween costume where she and her daughter, True, dressed up as characters from "Octonauts," while her youngest child donned multiple outfits, including one inspired by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and another by Yoda.

Khloé co-parents her children with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Tristan Thompson. It seems like the Halloween festivities continue despite the criticisms.
