As a [wedding gift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-shop-campaign), Kanye West reportedly commissioned a street artist who goes by the name Bambi to paint a portrait of Kim Kardashian. The painting has been unveiled and it emphasizes the curves that made Kim Kardashian famous. Seen in a red g-string and a matching pair of Louboutins, Kardashian is depicted as her sultry and sexy self.

The portrait was made to look like a "[royal painting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom)," however I don't think that the Queen would approve of showing so much skin. The portrait was painted on metal and features the words "My Queen Kim" down the left side and "Perfect B*tch" on the right.

Bambi's manager and agent Leonard Villa reportedly said that Kanye wanted "something regal but typically Kim."
