Renowned fashion photographers Luigi and Iango captured the viral images and for makeup and hair, Kim used her own team, as well as her KKW beauty line. Luigi Murenu shared some of the avant-garde photos to his Instagram followers as well.
While some people felt the photos were strikingly different than her other pictures, there were many who said Kim Kardashian had never looked more beautiful or glamorous as she did in the snaps.
The black and white series with Kim Kardashian wearing a veil over her face seemed to draw the most praise from Kim’s followers.

Mario Dedivanovic of Makeup by Mario shared one of the photos from the Vogue Japan shoot on his Instagram page and those went viral too. While some didn’t understand the use of the fabric surrounding Kim’s face, everyone agreed that Mario’s expert application of Kim’s makeup was on point.
Confused by the picture, one commenter remarked it looked as if Kim were coming out of the womb. Another suggested she looked like a cat trapped in a blanket.
Responding to Kim’s heavy and perfect eyeliner, another follower stated that Kim bore a strong resemblance to Sophia Loren in the picture.
