In 2019, Molly-Mae found herself facing comparisons to Kim Kardashian after launching her fake tan range, Filter by Molly-Mae.
Some fans felt the brand's style was a little too similar to Kim's KKW Beauty range, calling it a 'knock-off.'
The advertising campaign featured models lounging in nude underwear, which reminded many of the imagery Kim used to promote her shapewear line.
Even the group shots, with women posing together and parts of their bodies cropped out, had some fans drawing parallels to Kim's iconic aesthetic.
"This is such a knockoff of KKW," told a social media user.
Another tagged Molly and said: "@mollymaehague I think Kim kardashian has done the exact same picture for her skims range but well done on your product."
A third commented: "Looks like @skims from @kimkardashian."

The former reality star turned business mogul,
The collection, featuring primarily base layers and faux leather pieces, immediately grabbed attention, amassing an impressive 504k followers on Instagram within its first week.
However, the pricing raised eyebrows, with a strapless
mini
dress costing £110 and a black trench coat retailing at £215, leaving many shoppers stunned – much like the reaction to Molly-Mae's previous ventures.
The faux leather range also faced criticism from fashion fans on social media, with many comparing it to affordable brands like Boohoo.

In the past, Molly-Mae has even been mistaken for Kylie Jenner by fans scrolling through her Instagram.
On one of her posts, a fan commented: 'Molly-Mae, I literally had to do a double take here. I thought this was Kylie Jenner!"
Both stars share a love for timeless wardrobe staples, often opting for neutral tones like black, white, cream, and grey.
And, much like her American counterpart, Molly-Mae has moved away from bold Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga pieces, favouring the more refined styles of Chanel and Hermès Birkin bags.
Since launching Maebe, Molly-Mae has frequently been spotted posing with her Hermès Birkin 35 – a bag Kylie is also famously obsessed with.
Kylie, who was gifted a $100k Hermès Birkin by her mother Kris Jenner, boasts an impressive collection of the luxury bags, including one adorned with diamonds.

Back in 2022, Molly-Mae revealed her 'Kardashian-inspired dream wardrobe' that she had built into her then £4million six-bedroom 'forever home.'
Sharing a video onto her YouTube, Molly-Mae gave her fans an insight into her wardrobe which was "everything and more' she could've 'dreamt of.'
The reality star explained how she took inspiration from Pinterest and Khloe Kardashian as she pointed out how her gym leggings and sports bras were being hung up.
Moving on, she went through her T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, blazers and dresses before explaining she used to have more clothes before having a good clear out when she moved.

One thing is for sure, Molly-Mae and the Kardashians both love neutral tones, particularly cream and beige.
Both of their homes reflect a sophisticated yet understated elegance through clean lines, open spaces, and carefully selected furnishings.
And to prevent the interiors from appearing too plain, they incorporate textures such as marble, wood, or soft furnishings to add depth and warmth.
Additionally, they both prioritise comfort and luxury, with plush sofas, cosy cushions, and high-quality fabrics.

In 2023,
Concerns were heightened as Molly-Mae stepped into the spotlight with her impressive engagement ring.
Following a 2021 break-in at her home, she has been particularly cautious about showcasing her wealth, especially now that she often has her daughter, Bambi, with her.
Molly-Mae is said to be mindful of what happened to Kim Kardashian in Paris in 2017, when Kim was left traumatised after being tied up and held at gunpoint in her apartment by thieves who stole her jewellery, including a £3.5 million 20-carat engagement ring.
While Molly-Mae enjoys sharing her life with her fans, she is taking extra precautions to ensure her safety.
