Skims superfan Sarah Paulson has a surprising suggestion for Kim Kardashian’s ‘ultimate bush’ underwear
Sarah Paulson, a fan of Skims’ underwear with faux pubic hair, has suggested that Kim Kardashian make the design bigger. The joke revives discussion of a product that drew strong reactions when it launched and shows how the polarising item has remained part of the conversation.
Paulson made the suggestion during a Capital FM interview with her “All’s Fair” castmates, saying the next version should bring back the larger 1970s style. The underwear first went viral last year, prompting jokes and criticism, including Bethenny Frankel calling it a clickbait marketing idea. Kardashian also teased an upcoming Skims product made for fellow cast member Glenn Close.
In short
- Sarah Paulson wants Skims’ faux-hair underwear made bigger.

Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Supporters could see the faux-hair underwear as playful, body-positive fashion that challenges narrow ideas about grooming and invites people to enjoy their appearance without taking it too seriously. Paulson’s suggestion to make it larger extends the joke and gives customers another expressive option.
The case against
Critics could see the design as a publicity stunt that turns intimate body features into a provocative novelty, inviting attention more than offering meaningful choice or comfort. They may also feel that the joke risks reinforcing scrutiny of women’s bodies, even when intended to be light-hearted.
