She’s one of the most glamorous women in the world — but just how much would you pay to look like Kim Kardashian?
For 25-year-old Brit Claire Leeson, that would be around $30,000. The Essex woman has shelled out that much on hair extensions, breast implants, spray tans and make-up in a bid to emulate her favorite star.
Appearing on UK chat show “This Morning” on Monday, Leeson detailed the costly process, which has taken more than seven years so far.
“Firstly I started getting my teeth whitened — which I started doing at 17, 18,” she said on the show.
“Then I wanted my boobs enhanced to the same size as Kim’s.”
And how does she emulate Kardashian’s famous shapely derrière? Well, she hasn’t opted for surgery — yet.
“I wear pants with a silicone implant inside. I didn’t wear them today as they didn’t go with my dress. They feel fairly real.”
“I’m currently researching [real] implants and having fat transferred from all areas of my body put into my bum.”
Asked why she had undergone this costly, time-consuming extreme makeover, Leeson said it had been a bid to boost her self-confidence after being bullied as a teenager.
“I was badly bullied at school and it took me two years to realize that I wasn’t [what the bullies were calling me]. I was told every day that I was the ‘ugliest thing alive’ and I should ‘kill myself’.”
And here’s a fresh-faced Claire, looking markedly less similar to Kardashian:
