Kim Kardashian did it again: she surprised her followers with a photo session that, in a matter of hours, unleashed a wave of comments on social networks.
On this occasion, the businesswoman did not pose next to a luxury car or an iconic haute couture garment, but with a Tesla robot valued at $30,000.
The star of “The Kardashians” shared on Instagram the images that are part of a collaboration between Skims and Tesla. In them, Kim, wearing a provocative outfit that included stockings with a garter print and a black jacket that left her shoulders exposed, interacted almost intimately with the golden robot known as Optimus.
In one of the photos, the robot appears comfortably seated in the driver’s seat of Kardashian’s customized Tesla Model S, while she, in a defiant pose, kneels next to the vehicle. In another shot, you can see the robot placing its hand on the socialite’s thigh, while she poses in profile, generating an atmosphere between futuristic and sensual.
The most commented, however, was the one in which Kim and the robot appear to be holding hands, as if they were a couple on a romantic date. The scene, captured under the dim night light, was described by some users as “surreal.”
Reactions found
Kardashian’s followers quickly divided into two camps.
On the one hand, those who praised his creativity and the audacity of mixing technology with fashion, describing the images as “futuristic art.” On the other hand, there was no shortage of critics who described the session as “strange” or even “uncomfortable.”
“This seems more like a strategy to normalize robots in our daily lives,” commented one skeptical user. Meanwhile, others joked about the interaction between Kim and the machine: “She finally found someone she shares a personality with.”
Kim’s new best friend?
Kardashian surprised her followers by sharing a video showing the surprising abilities of her new Tesla robot, Optimus.
In the clip, the businesswoman interacts with the machine in a friendly manner, greeting it with a gesture that the robot perfectly imitates. He also asks her to form a heart with her hands, an action she performs with precision, leaving Kim visibly impressed. In addition, the robot demonstrates other functions, such as simulating running movements, dancing and even playing “rock, paper, scissors” with the star. This post reaffirms Kim’s interest in technology and her ability to keep her audience captive.
Either way, Kardashian continues to prove that she knows how to stay at the center of the conversation, whether driving her custom Cybertruck or posing with a robotic assistant. With each post, she confirms that her headline-making power remains as charged as her new photo shoot partner.
