Carole Baskin responds to Kim Kardashian’s Tiger King Halloween costume

No one does Halloween better than Kim Kardashian. Fans wait all year to see what Kim K. will whip together when October 31st rolls around, and this year, she didn’t disappoint.

For her first look, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star sported an instantly iconic costume inspired by Netflix’s Tiger King and it’s grabbing up major attention. In fact, even Tiger King star Carole Baskin caught wind of Kim’s perfectly executed look.

Carole caught up with TMZ to share her flattery of being channeled by Kim K. According to her, she just can’t live up to her own image anymore.

Ms. Baskin told the outlet it’s “weird” to see total strangers wearing animal print and flower crowns to try to recreate her unique image. She also said many of the Halloween costumes have been  clever renditions” of her look, and she was so impressed that she created her own costume contest.

Kim enlisted her bestie Jonathan Cheban to help her create the perfect photo opportunity, dressing him as Joe Exotica. She also dressed her three kids up as tigers. So cute!

Kim was hardly the only celebrity to dress up in Tiger King garb this Halloween. Kelly Ripa dressed as Joe Exotic and Ryan Seacrest went as a tiger, which Carole also loved. According to TMZ, Carole said Joe’s the perfect icon for Halloween because he represents “pure evil.” Ouch!

One thing’s for sure: Kim, her kids, and her BFF nailed their ferocious look!
