Kim Kardashian inspired a new meme format this week, and the results have been hysterical.

By now you’ve likely seen at least one meme while scrolling Twitter that goes something like this: “Kim Kardashian has purchased Shakira’s iconic Grammys performance outfit for 5 million dollars.”

She’s also “purchased” Jack Antonoff‘s denim jacket for $14, “Buddy The Elf’s iconic outfit for a jaw-dropping $435,000″ and even Harry Styles himself for a staggering $122.8 million.
