In the original photo, a fresh-faced Kim pouted at the camera while Allison kissed her cheek.

While paying tribute to the snap, the SKIMS founder wore a similar red sweater and opted for the same middle-parting and dark 1990s makeup.

Kim has been sharing plenty of teenage throwbacks over the last few years to promote her makeup line, KKW Beauty, as it borrows trends from the 1990s and early 2000s.

While the reality star has been keeping things lighthearted on social media, she’s been experiencing turmoil in her personal life in recent months.

Kim cuts ties with Kanye amid divorce

Kim filed for divorce from Kanye West in February after months of speculation that their six-year marriage was over.

They have four children together – North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2.

Kanye – who is based at his ranch in Wyoming – has filed for joint legal and physical custody of their kids.

The Sun exclusively revealed this week that Kim never speaks to Kanye and won’t be friends with him after their divorce.

An insider said: “They have not spoken in months, except through third parties over the kids.

“But Kim is trying to ensure things are as amicable as possible – because the last thing she wants is to hit a nerve with Kanye that will set him off.

“She doesn’t want him having a meltdown and going on a rant.”

Last summer Kanye, who has bipolar, went on a series of rants during a presidential rally and on Twitter about Kim and her family.

The Yeezy mogul claimed Kim considered aborting their child North, compared Kris Jenner to dictator Kim Jong-un and said he’d been trying to divorce Kim for almost two years.

The source went on to say Kim is an expert at “moving on” and has no plans to stay friends with Kanye.

“I think she’s relieved over the divorce and being liberated from the relationship – she’s never stayed friends with her exes, she just moves on,” they said.

“And she has moved on from Kanye, she’s already closed the door on that one. Kim is a professional at moving on, once she’s cut ties, you just don’t exist to her any more … there’s no sentimentality at all.”

New romance rumours for Kim

Sources recently claimed Kim is being courted by a slew of eligible bachelors, including royals, A-list actors and billionaires.

“People are reaching out through mutual friends and people that she’s worked with to set her up with everyone from royal family members to A-list actors to athletes to billionaire CEOs,” a source told Page Six in April.

Kim has been linked to her long-time friend, CNN reporter Van Jones, Colombian singer Maluma and rapper Drake.

Kanye, meanwhile, faces rumours he is dating Russian model Irina Shayk, who has a daughter with actor Bradley Cooper.
