Why Kim Kardashian’s New Bikini Pic Is An Optical Illusion?

Kim Kardashian's latest selfie left viewers stunned.

The SKKN founder took to Instagram on March 14 with some snaps of herself wearing a black bikini top. However, one of these photos shows a rather peculiar shape on Kim's chest, which seems to have intrigued some viewers.

One user wrote in the comments column, "Is that a shadow of a ninja turtle holding the phone to his chest?".

Others thought it might be tan lines, while another user wrote, "There is skin discoloration on his chest down to his neck. You might want to get it checked out that.

The shape in question actually appears to be the shadow of Kim's hand (rather than a ninja turtle) holding a phone to take the selfie.

Know that her swimsuit photos on March 14 not only sparked color speculation, but also some love for Kim in the comments. Ice Spice, who recently hung out with the SKIMS founder and her daughter North West, placed a heart emoji below the post. Meanwhile, Kim's friend Natalie Halcro wrote "Sheeeeeeshhhhhh Woman" with fire symbols and heart eyes.

That post aside, Kim is no stranger to producing stunning bikini photos. In December, she set things alight by sharing some snaps of herself in a white two-piece suit. That same month, she also clarified that she was bringing back the belfie (aka butt selfie) by taking a picture of her butt in the reflection of a window.

Kim captioned the moment: "Looking back at 22."

As for the rest of 2023, it's safe to say more bikini pics are to come. Read on for more of Kim's steamy swimsuit moments over the years...

With the new year just around the corner, Kim captioned this cheeky December 2022 belfie: "Back to 22."

Kim shared photos from the beach in December 2022, two weeks after her divorce from Kanye West was finalized.

Summer may still be a few months away, but the KarJenners have already declared the start of swimwear season (although, to be fair, it really is a year-round affair for the famous family) . First Kourtney in her neon green two-piece and matching '90s-style bandeau, and now Kim, who opted for an LBB (little black bikini) in her latest Instagram snap.

On Wednesday, Kim shared a slideshow of swimsuit photos while posing in an outdoor shower, titled "Soul Search." In the photos, the SKIMs founder wore a black triangle tank top and matching cropped pants with high-waisted sides, along with her signature wraparound sunglasses and a very Y2K beach accessory: a belly chain. Kim's dainty waist chain featured a barely there chain and a tiny cross-shaped pendant that hung just below her navel. And the reality star added another retro accessory to the mix, completing her bikini look with a silver anklet on her left foot.

Kim's waist-length black hair was worn in natural waves with a center parting, while her glam featured nude lip liner and bronzer sprayed all over her body.

The latest photos of Kim in a bikini come less than a week after donning another skimpy two-piece (this time in white) while simultaneously dragging her younger sister Kendall Jenner. Kim poked fun at Kendall's handgate scandal by captioning the content carousel "@kendalljenner long hand on goal ???? [sic]".
