DUBAI: Arab Twitter users are in a spin over a new photo of Kendall Jenner from the KKW Fragrance campaign because the shoot is quite similar to one that Emirati pop star Ahlam Al-Shamsi pulled off — horse and all.
After releasing KKW Fragrance collaborations with Kourtney, Khloé, Kris and Kylie, Kim Kardashian is finally teaming up with half-sister Kendall to create a line of three scents inspired by Jenner’s love of horses. Kardashian announced the news on the fragrance’s official Instagram page via a series of campaign photos that saw Jenner posing alongside a majestic black horse.
Many Arab Twitter users saw a stark resemblance between Jenner and the Emirati singer, who also recently posed with a gorgeous stallion for her latest music video for “Tamarod” off of her “Fadwa Oyounak” album. In addition to the horse, both women wore their chestnut hair in long, loose waves and opted for all black ensembles.

“Kendall Jenner appears to be imitating Arab artist Ahlam,” wrote one user on Twitter.
Another agreed, writing: “Even the hair itself.”
Meanwhile, another Twitter user posted a side-by-side photo of US singer Jennifer Lopez and Ahlam wearing a similar dress, and stated “Kendall isn’t the only one imitating an Arab artist.”

It’s not the first time one of the Jenner siblings has trended on social media for bearing an uncanny resemblance to an Arab superstar.
Recently, Kylie Jenner set social media aflame when her feline-inspired photo shoot for Kylie Cosmetics became one of the biggest memes on Arab Twitter.

Many users took it upon themselves to Photoshop her campaign images into mixtape covers similar to those released by Lebanese superstars Nancy Ajram, Sherine and Haifa Wehbe.
