Kim Kardashian takes inspiration from Liz Taylor

'But I'm six husbands and some big jewels behind':

US: 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 ElizabethTay 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.

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.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was one of the final people to interview Elizabeth in an article that was published in the March issue of US Harper's Bazaar.

Kim - who is currently divorcing her second husband, Kris Humphries, whom she married in August - said to the Oscar-winner: ‘You are my idol.

‘But I'm six husbands and some big jewels behind. What should I do?’ ‘For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else.’

Kim's Twitter followers obviously agree that she has captured the spirit of the Cleopatra star.

Earlier Kim posted another picture from the photo shoot, this time a side shot in which she is wearing a pale pink lipstick. She told fans: ‘That was a pic from my new fragrance ad campaign True Reflection, which comes out this spring!

‘It is so different than my other fragrances!’

Kim has just returned to Los Angeles after a brief trip to Dallas, where she visited her sister Khloe Kardashian who moved to Texas with her husband, basketball player Lamar Odom. The couple relocated after Lamar was transferred from the LA Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks.
