More celebrities who wear SKIMS or SKIMS dupes...
From shapewear leggings to maxi dresses and more, it's no surprise that the range from the Kardashian is being swept off the shelves, even being favoured by some big celebs. As well as Billie Shepherd and Molly-Mae Hague, here are some more celebrity icons who rep SKIMS (like their new SKIMS swim collection) or choose to wear some worthwhile SKIMS dupes. Even celebs want to save money, folks).
Chrissy Teigen revealed she was a big fan of the one-legged Solution Shorts. She commented on Twitter, "Oh my god I don't have to cut one side of my Spanx anymore!!!!!" Even Geordie Shore star and wearer of great clothes Sophie Kasaei raised a few eyebrows when she showed off her OOTD, which instantly roused suspicion she was emulating the Kim K brand in a SKIMS dupe.
One user pointed out that the ensemble "looks like Kardashian's PJs". Another wrote, "Another SKIMS copy, but who can blame them when Kim's is so expensive!!" To be fair to the Kardashian doppelgänger, SKIMS is expensive. £124 for the SKIMS cosy knit robe? We'll pass, tbh.
