Kim Kardashian turns back time with a retro outfit just like Cher

Only last week Cher seemingly suggested the Kardashians should be 'drop-kicked down the freeway'.

But it seems Kim Kardashian has taken the remarks - which the superstar singer later insisted had been taken out of context - with a pinch of salt.

The proof was in the pudding as Kim took some style inspiration from the Believe singer, stepping out in a full white flared outfit and white hat, reminiscent of a get-up Cher wore back in 1970.

Retro: Kim Kardashian left her New York hotel today in a white Seventies-style outfit, complete with floppy hat 

Kim, 30, looked fantastic in the bell-bottoms as she left her New York hotel today.

Of course, Cher and Kim are supporting their respective family members on this season of Dancing With The Stars.

Kim's brother Rob and Cher's son Chaz Bono are both competing on the ABC show.

Last week, Cher put her foot in it, seemingly igniting some rivalry with the Kardashian clan via Twitter.

Looks familiar: The reality star appeared to take a leaf out of singer Cher's style book in the bell-bottoms, the Believe singer pictured, right, in 1970

It started when she tweeted: 'Looking at show called "Bridezilla" chick named Rae Rae! I don't know ENOUGH Swear Words 4 This OBNOXIOUS B**** ! Run 4 yer Life Husband 2B.'

Soon she tweeted again, and seemed to be slating the famous family.

She said: 'I don't watch reality! Never saw a Kardashian but these B*****s should b Drop kicked down a freeway !Not kidding! Nos I no r this Fkn nuts.'

The garbled grammar and mention of the reality stars confused readers, with many thinking she was slating Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and the rest of the clan.

Pinch of salt: Kim gave the superstar singer a style nod after Twitter comments last week where she initially appeared to be bashing the Kardashians

But she made a number of followup tweets as she tried to clear up the issue.

She replied to one user: 'Not K's! dont know them!' and told another: 'DONT Hate THEM dont know THEM'

But after receiving so many angry responses she made another separate post in an attempt to address the issue.

She said: 'Let me be clear! Am not Hate'n Kardashian Fam.Don't know them! Bridezilla's crazy b******!Saw Brother on DWTS & my friend told me bout girls.'

Out and about: Kourtney was also seen in the Big Apple in flares  and a spotted black and white top

Skin-tight: Khloe stepped out in a pair of wet look leggings teamed with peep-toe wedge shows, patterned top and jacket

And she admitted she had blundered adding: 'By lovelies! Seems I put my Size8 1/2's in my mouth again!

'Isn't the 1st time Won't b the last !Sometimes I should run my words by my BRAIN.'

Cher may come face-to-face with the family next week when she will be attending Dancing With The Stars to support her son Chaz.

They could all be out in full force to cheer on Rob Kardashian, the youngest of the famous siblings.

Wearing the trousers: Kris Jenner and Scott Disick looked sharp in their suits as they ventured out together

Cher on the Kardashians: Those bitches should be drop kicked down a freeway

Mike Walker’s column in this week’s National Enquirer claimed that “Dancing With The Stars” execs have been pressuring Chaz Bono to get his famous alien-faced mom, Cher, to appear in the audience on the show pronto. I’m sure they’re rethinking that ratings strategy after seeing Cher’s latest tweets. Cher Tweeted some pretty negative comments about the Kardashians, later clarifying that it had nothing to do with the fact that their brother was competing against Chaz on DWTS. She wrote “I don’t watch reality ! Never saw a Kardashian but these Bitches should b Drop kicked down a freeway !Not kidding! Nos I no r this Fkn nuts.” I’m not sure exactly what she’s responding to (or exactly what she’s saying other than that the Kardashians suck), but it seems to be due to Kim’s over-the-top wedding, and not Khloe Kardashian’s recent remarks in which she called herself and her sisters “trannies.” Later on Cher apologized and tweeted something about putting her foot in her mouth.

Oh well, all the words and excuses she piles on top of that can never erase the image she put in my head of someone drop kicking the Kardashians one-by-one off an overpass. I’ve never even thought about that before, but now I remember that it was a minor plot point in that terrible, creepy Macaulay Culkin film from 1993, The Good Son. Remember that? I totally forgot that Elijah Wood was in it! There are people jumping off overpasses in plenty of other movies, particularly action films, but that’s what came to mind. (Update: she was probably saying the Bridezilla’s chicks should be drop kicked, as someone commented but they were super snotty about it so I deleted it. How can you tell really with the way she writes?)

Cher might be watching DWTS live and in person next week. She tweeted that she hopes Chaz hangs in there so she can come. It’s hard to say whether Chaz will be on next week given his God-awful performance last night. He scored at the very bottom with this awful rumba, to his late dad Sonny Bono’s “Laugh at Me.” At the beginning he rips off a faux fur vest as some sort of 60s tribute and then awkwardly walks around partner Lacey Schwimmer. Lacey is dressed in a bejeweled outfit with a faux bikini lace overlay that only Cher could pull off. Chaz will be off this week or next. E! Online has a full recap of Monday’s DWTS if you’re interested.
