In the photo, Kourtney, now 43, appears on the far left while Kim is seen in the center.
The Poosh founder is wearing a black scoop neck T-shirt in the snap and has her hair parted down the center, hanging over her shoulders.
Kim, now 41, is seen wearing the same top, with her hair parted slightly to the side.
She is also wearing several necklaces in the throwback picture.
The siblings aren’t smiling in the pic, but rather squinting and staring toward whomever has the camera.
Kim shared no context for the photo, which she posted on Friday.
She and her sisters often share throwbacks, though this is the first time fans have seen this particular snap.
Both the mom of three and her beauty mogul sister are unrecognizable in the childhood post.
Kim recently underwent a major glam transformation, debuting a whole new look at the Met Gala.
MARILYN’S TWIN
The Hulu star shared a behind the scenes video of her prep for the fashion event.
In the clip, she showed off her natural skin while getting her hair bleached before the gala.
Although Kim sported blond hair long ago, fans were shocked to see her lightened locks at the Met.
Cameras followed younger sister Kylie Jenner getting ready for the gala with Kim making a quick cameo.
The SKIMS founder shocked as she entered, wearing a white bath robe and several layers of tin foil in her hair, as she pushed to lighten it all up.
“I cannot believe you are really dyeing your hair,” a shocked Kylie announced. “You’re so bold for that.”
Kim replied: “I’ve been doing this for 10 hours already.”
She then turned her attention to Kylie’s daughter, Stormi, saying: “My hair’s gonna be blond, like Elsa.”
The mom of four dyed her hair blond to look more like Marilyn Monroe, whose dress she wore to the Met Gala.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum wore the famous dress the legend donned to sing Happy Birthday to then President Kennedy.
PRICEY PIECE
According to the Ripley’s franchise, which paid nearly $5 million for the dress at an auction in 2016, Kim made fashion history by becoming the only person besides Marilyn to ever it.
“The multi-million-dollar dress has rarely been separated from its original dress form, let alone worn by anyone other than Monroe,” the company said in a statement. “Great care was taken to preserve this piece of pop culture history.
Kim revealed she went to great lengths to ensure she fit into the dress ahead of the Met Gala
Speaking with Vogue on the red carpet at the event, Kim revealed the hoops she had to jump through to fit into the gown.
Kim and boyfriend Pete Davidson, took a quick trip to Orlando, Florida, recently where the dress was being held at Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
Kim said: “I had this idea to try it on and then they came with armed guards and gloves.”
At first, the dress didn’t fit the mom of four’s signature curves, but that didn’t stop her from wearing it to the Met Gala.
She told the fashion magazine: “I tried it on and it didn’t fit me. I said, ‘Give me three weeks.’
“I had to lose 16 pounds down today.”
Kim went on: “It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role. I was determined to fit [into] it. I haven’t had carbs or sugar in about three weeks.
DIET DRAMA
But all of her sacrificing did little to appease fans, who couldn’t get over what they said was a shocking and distasteful mockery.
“Disrespectful!! No one should wear this fragile dress again! You belong in jail for allowing this sacrilege!!” one critic wrote.
Another complained: “That dress should never have been worn by anyone but Marilyn.”
One fan expressed a feeling that Marilyn was robbed: “So sad to think that Marilyn wore this dress months before she died and here you are renting it out like a prom dress.
“This dress used to be known as the Marilyn Monroe Happy Birthday dress, now it will be forever known as The Marilyn Monroe dress that Kim Kardashian wore to the met gala.”
