Khloe Kardashian under fire for donning feathered headdress
Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian has sparked outrage online after sporting a traditional Native American headdress to her niece's lavish birthday bash.
Kim Kardashian celebrated her daughter North's first birthday by throwing a festival-themed party in the grounds of her sister's California mansion.
The event included teepees and a ferris wheel, and Khloe got into
the spirit by posing for several snaps in a huge feathered
bonnet.
One snap featured her sitting in front of a teepee, and she wrote
the caption: "Ray of clouds. Chirping of birds. Gurgling of water.
Granting desire. One with water."
However, the snaps prompted a backlash from Kardashian's followers
on Instagram.com, with several slamming the star for making light
of a cultural tradition.
The 29 year old is not the first celebrity to come under fire for
wearing a Native American headdress - Pharrell Williams apologized
earlier this month (Jun14) after he donned one on the cover of
Britain's Elle magazine, and One Direction's Harry Styles also
faced a backlash in March (14), when he shared a photo of himself
wearing a similar piece on his Instagram.com blog.
