Kim Kardashian takes inspiration from Elizabeth Taylor in seductive new ad

Kim Kardashian has revealed a photo promoting her new perfume and has made it clear that she was inspired by a Hollywood icon.

With her red lips and cascading curls the reality TV star tells her fans that she is 'channeling [sic] ElizabethTay [sic]' in her True Reflection ad campaign.

The 31-year-old unveiled the photo on her Twitter page earlier today. Leaning against a gold-coloured frame, the smokey-eyed star wears a silver, sleeveless dress with a plunging neckline. It is the second photo that she has posted online from the upcoming promotion. 

She tweets: 'Another pic from my True Reflection fragrance ad campaign...ultra glam!

'LOVE red lips! #Channeling ElizabethTay.'

Kim has made no secret of her love of the former child star who died at the age of 79 in March last year.

Last month she spent $65,000 at a Christie's auction to buy a set of three gold and jade Lorraine Schwartz bangles once owned by the late actress.
