Provocative visuals and an eerie cameo by Macaulay Culkin spark outrage and intrigue online.

Kim Kardashian has once again found herself at the centre of controversy with her latest project: a daring rendition of Santa Baby. The reality TV icon shared behind-the-scenes photos from the music video shoot on Instagram, where her provocative visuals drew both criticism and praise from fans.

The 44-year-old star’s bold aesthetic featured Kardashian in a low-cut beige bralette paired with a powder-blue cardigan and beige leggings. In one widely discussed scene, she crawls across the floor of what critics described as a “crack house,” further fuelling backlash.

Adding to the surprise, Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin made a cameo, playing Santa Claus. The video, reportedly inspired by David Lynch films and low-budget horror, concludes with Culkin filming the eerie sequence on a vintage camcorder.

Directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis, the video embraces an unsettling, almost surreal tone. While some praised Kardashian for pushing creative boundaries, others found the approach jarring.

Social media erupted with mixed reactions. Many fans criticised the visuals as “demonic” and accused Kardashian of disrespecting Christian traditions. Others defended the star, interpreting the video as a commentary on the rampant commercialisation of Christmas and the materialistic culture surrounding the holiday season.

Despite the backlash, Kardashian’s ability to spark conversations remains undiminished. With her platinum blonde bob and daring creative choices, she continues to blur the lines between art, fashion, and provocation.

As always, Kardashian knows how to keep the world talking—whether in admiration or outrage.
