Khloe Kardashian's Halloween pictures of her dressed as Cleopatra has made the fans furious and now they're accusing her of cultural appropriation.

The Good American designer, Khloe Kardashian, 36, set the internet on fire when she shared a series of Halloween pictures of her with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson, and their two-year-old daughter True Thompson on Nov. 2, 2020. Khloe and Tristan channeled their inner royals by dressing up like the historic lovers Cleopatra and Mark Antony. The reality star stunned in a custom gold ensemble complete with a gold cape, bejeweled headpiece, black bob, and winged eyeliner. While the NBA star wore a chest plate, metal skirt, crown, and warrior helmet. True also looked adorable in a pleated gold dress adorned with wings on her shoulders.

“♔ Cleopatra ♔♔ Mark Antony ♔♔ Royal Highness True ♔,” Khloe captioned the family photos where all of them adorned custom-made costumes by Bryan Hearns. After Khloe shared the photos many people commented to share their reactions. The momager, Kris Jenner, also gushed over how good Koko looked in her costume. Her BFF Malika Haqq also commented, “AMAZING.” Many of her fans loved the picture but half of them also disapproved and accused her of “cultural appropriation.”

Critics were onto Khloe for appropriating the Egyptian culture with her Cleopatra costume. “My culture is not your costume,” one of her followers wrote. While another user wrote, “I am a black woman. This is not ok. Cleopatra was a BLACK QUEEN. STOP APPROPRIATING OUR CULTURE. ENOUGH [IS] ENOUGH.” “Hmmmmmm, I find her costume problematic,” a comment read. “You not black,” another expressed.

Many of her fans who were offended by the post had no problem calling her out but her true supporters came in for her support. Her supporters noted that not only Khloe many others also have been dressing up as Cleopatra for years. “We have been wearing these types of costumes for years and years since I was a little girl and I’m in my 40s,” one fan wrote. “Now it’s a problem for all of you sensitive sheep. It’s Halloween. Get over yourself.” While Khloe herself has yet to weigh in on the matter.
