Kim Kardashian Takes Inspiration From Cleopatra Icon In Seductive New Ad

Kim Kardashian has revealed a photo promoting her new perfume and has made it clear that she was inspired by a Hollywood icon.

With her red lips and cascading curls the reality TV star tells her fans that she is 'channeling [sic] ElizabethTay [sic]' in her True Reflection ad campaign.

The 31-year-old unveiled the photo on her Twitter page earlier today. Leaning against a gold-coloured frame, the smokey-eyed star wears a silver, sleeveless dress with a plunging neckline.

It is the second photo that she has posted online from the upcoming promotion. She tweets: 'Another pic from my True Reflection fragrance ad campaign...ultra glam! 'LOVE red lips! #Channeling ElizabethTay.'

Kim has made no secret of her love of the former child star who died at the age of 79 in March last year. Last month she spent $65,000 at a Christie's auction to buy a set of three gold and jade Lorraine Schwartz bangles once owned by the late actress.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was one of the final people to interview Elizabeth in an article that was published in the March issue of US Harper's Bazaar.
