Fans slam ‘disrespectful’ Kim Kardashian for Vatican outfit

Kim Kardashian has toured the Vatican in a sheer, flesh-flashing dress, and people are seeing red over the 40-year-old billionaire’s outfit.

Kim Kardashian is known for her revealing outfits, but the Vatican is probably not the place to flaunt what God gave you.

The 40-year-old billionaire is in Italy and toured the centre of the Catholic Church in Rome today, where she shunned a conservative dress code in an off-the-shoulder, sheer white lace gown with cut-outs across the midsection.

The US reality star’s decision to wear lace also raised eyebrows, with the material traditionally only worn to the Vatican by Catholic queens.

There are guidelines around attire at the official residence of the Pope, with visitors prohibited from wearing clothing that exposes their knees, shoulders, or chest.

At one stage, Kardashian put on a long black leather jacket when entering the Sistine Chapel, where she enjoyed a private tour with British supermodel Kate Moss, 47, and her 18-year-old daughter, Lila Grace.

People flocked to Twitter to criticise the mother-of-four for her “disrespectful” choice of wardrobe.

How disrespectful of Kim Kardashian to show up at the Vatican with that outfit.

Ohboy. Baring her ovaries again.
"And in an empowering move, Kardashian basically said screw the patriarchy and went for a shoulder-exposing, ovary-baring dress for her tour around Vatican City." https://t.co/oAGOW8CJmA

The businesswoman arrived in Italy this week for a summer holiday with her friend, Tracy Romulus, where they were pictured visiting the Colosseum earlier in the week with Kardashian’s glam team, Mario Dedivanovic and Chris Appleton.

Meanwhile, Kardashian’s soon-to-be ex-husband, rapper Kanye West, was last month seen enjoying the sights of the French countryside with Russian supermodel, Irina Shayk. It is rumoured that the pair are dating.

Kardashian and West were married in a luxurious wedding ceremony in Italy in 2014, before they officially filed for divorce in March this year.
