Melania's outfit had already caused quite the social media stir, with internet users bemused by her boater-style hat and its resemblance to the likes of Zorro and The Hamburglar.

But perhaps none quite as significant as when American media personality, socialite, and businesswoman Kardashian posted the FLOTUS to her Instagram story.

The Skims founder didn't include a caption to her post, but it's suspected she was primarily shining a light on Melania's look.

Intentions aside, according to an analytics firm, the 44-year-old, who boasts some 358 million followers, lost 144,963 followers after uploading the photo.

The post angered her millions of followers online, particularly Democrats, since Kardashian has stayed hush on her political views throughout the 2024 presidential election.

"girl…. sold out for far right maga propaganda," one user wrote.

"Well at least we can see exactly who you are," another said.

James Hacking, founder of influencer marketing agency Socially Powerful, addressed the saga in a press release, noting that he was surprised Kim K chose to post the photo given the controversy surrounding the presidential election.

"This Trump administration is undoubtably a divisive one with many celebrities in Hollywood distancing themselves from showing support for the new President, however, it is interesting that Kim Kardashian, the original influencer, chose to make this move by posting a picture of the new First Lady, Melania Trump."
