Kim Kardashian is making waves with her unconventional music video for her rendition of Santa Baby, which features bold and provocative visuals that have sparked plenty of conversation. The 44-year-old reality star took to Instagram on Tuesday to share behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot, showcasing a series of daring and controversial moments.
One image from the set shows Kardashian in a low-cut beige bralette, which quickly drew criticism from viewers who found the look “inappropriate.” The reality star was also seen crawling across the floor of what some described as a “crack house,” adding to the video’s edgy aesthetic.
Kardashian completed her look with a platinum blonde bob, powder-blue cardigan, and beige leggings. The unconventional visuals didn’t stop there. Fans were further surprised by the unexpected cameo from actor Macaulay Culkin, who is best known for his role in Home Alone.
In behind-the-scenes shots, Culkin was seen working alongside Kardashian, adding an element of surprise to the already provocative video. The video’s eerie, dark tone, inspired by David Lynch films and low-budget horror, was directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis.
The aesthetic has generated a wide range of reactions online. According to Daily Mail, many viewers found the video “demonic” and “disturbing,” accusing Kardashian of disrespecting Christian traditions with her provocative imagery.
Others, however, offered a different interpretation, viewing the video’s themes as a critique of the commercialization of Christmas. Some saw the visuals as a commentary on materialism, with Kardashian’s portrayal of Santa Baby being a playful yet critical take on the holiday’s commercialized nature.
The video concludes with Santa, played by Culkin, filming the scene on a vintage camcorder, further contributing to the vintage and eerie vibe that permeates the entire production.
Kardashian’s Santa Baby music video has undeniably polarized audiences, with some fans loving its boldness and others finding it offensive. Whether it’s viewed as a demonic display or an insightful commentary on Christmas materialism, the video continues to spark debates and discussions online.
