Kim Kardashian dressed in a familiar fashion piece from pop culture history for one of her birthday events.
The 42-year-old mogul donned the same crystal Dolce & Gabbana bralette seen on Aaliyah in her Try Again music video in 2000.
The platinum blonde bombshell even donned a similar choker as she planned to spend a night in Las Vegas before her private jet was derailed by wind.

In the late pop star’s video she wore the neck piece with a black tab and silver-toned ring hanging from it.
Kim’s variety had a large cross medallion that was embellished with flashy stones.
Other parts of her getup featured similarities to Aaliyah’s, like the smokey eye makeup and the center part dividing both of their long locks.
Kardashian styled her bleached ‘do in loose waves that streamed down her back, and she opted for a pair of crystal-covered pants that matched the top.

The mother-of-four copied the look more exactly when she dressed as the music artist for Halloween in 2017.
For that iteration of the ensemble, the SKIMS founder donned long dark hair like Aaliyah’s, and teamed a similar bra top with black pants and a thick, crystal-covered belt.
At the time, she received backlash for dressing as a Black woman while she carried out the costume tribute.
The negative attention prompted her to issue an apology on her app, with the media personality saying, ‘I saw online that some people thought my costume was in poor taste and I am truly sorry if that offended anyone.’
‘When I was creating the costume, I wasn’t dressing up as a race or culture but rather as a woman whom I will always admire,’ she explained.

The iconic bra top is from the fashion house’s archive, which Kardashian helped unearth for a collaborative Dolce & Gabbana runway show last month.
‘This little bra, it came in, I think, three different colors of crystals. Who doesn’t remember Gisele wearing this bra?’ she said, referencing Gisele Bundchen in an interview with Vogue.
Kim also donned a black version of the mesh bustier as she promoted her partnership with the designers in September.

Earlier this year Kim also went the vintage route as she slimmed down her famous hourglass figure to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s custom, hand-beaded nude gown for the Met Gala.
The fashion moment was met with harsh criticism from people who thought the dress shouldn’t have been worn again after the late screen siren.
Others accused the reality TV star of damaging the one-of-a-kind gown, but Ripley’s Believe It Or Not – the owner of the antique – later insisted no harm had been done to it.

That same night the former Mrs. West wore yet another look from the Old Hollywood darling, a green sequined number.
Taking to Instagram afterward, she said to her followers, ‘To top off my night after The Met, I had the honor of changing into Marilyn Monroe’s Norman Norell dress that she wore to the Golden Globes in 1962 —where she received the Henrietta Award For World Film Favorite.’
She continued, ‘In my quest to find the Jean Louis hand beaded dress that I wore to the gala, I discovered @heritageauctions owned Marilyn’s iconic green sequined gown.’
Despite critics, the post racked up more than five million likes.
