Kim arrives in London… but she definitely looks a little different
Some of her harsher critics have claimed that her use of Botox and other fillers is at times OTT – resulting in a waxen appearance.
But when Kim Kardashian arrived in London earlier today, it was clear that she'd had quite bit of work done: €200,000 worth of work, in fact.
Yes, fans may now be rather concerned that reality TV's biggest star has once and for all gone down the plastic surgery route… but they need not fear!
For the Kim Kardashian spotted in England is, in fact, made entirely of wax.
The €200,000 Madame Tussauds statue, which was unveiled today, even takes selfies – an activity perfected and championed by Mrs West herself.
The figure also wears the same striking Balmain minidress that Kim wore for her Paris hen party two days before her wedding to rapper Kanye West (well, it's an expertly-crafted recreation, as the original is worth some €16,500).
Although, appropriately for a woman rarely seen in the same item twice, Kim will undergo a number of designer outfit changes throughout the summer: the Balmain dress will depart at the end of this month, making way for a fresh look.
And Kanye himself will shortly be arriving at Madame Tussauds in waxwork form, being placed alongside his wife of a year.

The tourist attraction – one of the most popular in the city – said today: "When we were thinking about how we should portray Kim here at Madame Tussauds London, it quickly became obvious it HAD to be taking a selfie.
"But we wanted to make it really special and create a set where guests can take a picture that will look as if they have just bumped into Kim."
The 34-year-old, who is expecting her second child, already has a wax work in Madame Tussauds New York.
Depicting her donning a hot-pink Hervé Léger dress, it was unveiled in 2010. At that launch, Kim said: "This is one of the greatest honours ever and I am so thrilled and excited.
"Now I will never have to leave NYC."
