Why Kim Kardashian West Used a Body Double When She Was Pregnant

In a truly fascinating piece of news from the Kardashian-sphere, one of the secrets to Kim Kardashian West's stellar maternity style has been revealed: A body double outfitted with a prosthetic baby bump modeled clothes for her before she wore them. "She has a body double. She has somebody come over here and put a prosthesis on like a pregnant person, and she makes them try on all of her clothes because she's too tired to do it," Kris Jenner tells oldest daughter Kourtney Kardashian in a clip from an upcoming episode. From there, Kris shows an outfit with a printed picture attached of said double wearing the look. The preplanning trick isn't totally new (in fact, it's pretty similar to how you'll see clothes arranged backstage before a fashion show), but the fact that it's for personal use is amazing. Plus, while Kris' quip is that the process is due to Kim being tired, we can totally imagine a different reason. When you're photographed as much as KKW and have a husband who's so into style, why wouldn't you want to check out an outfit as it would be viewed when you're wearing it? Mirrors are only good for
