Kim Kardashian under fire for wearing rosary in 'offensive' lingerie advertisement
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian is sparking a heated debate on social media after sharing an exclusive ad for luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana on Instagram.
While the high-end promotion caught the attention of her 360 million followers, it was the sight of rosary beads around her neck that quickly became the focal point.
Online users have criticized the use of the sacred symbol in such a revealing advertisement, with some urging the influencer to remove it, stating that the rosary is not a piece of jewelry to be worn as a fashion accessory.

Kim Kardashian criticized for using rosary in scantily clad advertisement campaign
In an Instagram post, Kim Kardashian, the 44-year-old reality star, shared a photo of herself promoting a collaboration between her shapewear brand, SKIMS, and luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana.
In the carousel post, Kardashian is seen wearing a bra, underwear, and lace shorts. According to Fox News, the rosary featured in the post is listed on the Dolce & Gabbana website for $525.
The description of the item reads, "Dolce & Gabbana’s signature aesthetic is clear to see in this religious-themed jewelry collection, as it is filled with unique pieces flaunting great creativity. Contemporary and glamorous accessories with original and exclusive details, featuring different plated finishes, will be perfect for finishing off any look with style."
The post also included shots of Kardashian wearing lace shorts paired with a cotton jersey boxer, which retails for $78.
This isn't the first time Kardashian has worn a rosary with a revealing outfit. Last week, she was seen wearing a cross necklace with lingerie in another advertisement promoting the same Dolce & Gabbana collaboration. Earlier this month, she wore the late Princess Diana's Attallah Cross, made from amethyst, to the LACMA Art+Film Gala.
