Kim Kardashian [1]'s name is pretty synonymous with controversy, and recently, the reality TV star and mom of two came under fire for her surprising comments about feminism [2]. During the #BlogHer conference in August, Kim admitted that she doesn't "label herself" a feminist, adding that while she is "so supportive of women" and wants them to "be confident," she isn't a "free-the-nipple type of girl." But judging by some of Kim's recent street style looks [3], it appears that she may be reconsidering her outlook. From cleavage-baring bra tops to a head-turning sheer dress, Kim has been putting her full confidence on display, as well as some of her best assets.
The Free the Nipple movement [4] is a gender-equality campaign started in 2014 that argues that women and men should be granted the same freedoms and protections under the law, especially when it comes to online censorship; Instagram in particular has been criticized for removing images of women's nipples and labeling it "graphic content." As Kim is no stranger to sharing NSFW snaps on social media [5], her statements eschewing being that "type of girl" understandably angered some people. So is Kim softening on her stance? Take a look at her latest nipple-baring ensembles and judge for yourself.
