Married At First Sight bride Carina Mirabile has drawn comparisons to Kim Kardashian, after the TV star hopeful modelled her sense of style off the Skims mogul and her younger sister, Kylie Jenner.
It seems ‘taking inspiration’ from the Kardashian clan runs in the family, which was very apparent when Carina, 31, stepped out in Sydney’s Double Bay for a spot of shopping during the filming of the hit Nine reality ‘experiment’.
While the comparisons to Kim might be warranted, Carina’s mother Carmel could be mistaken for Kris Jenner’s doppelgänger.
The glamorous mother and daughter duo looked chuffed to be in each other’s company for the shopping expedition.
Carina was rocking a double denim look in a pair of light blue jean shorts and a corset style top.
She added an element of drama to her ensemble with a long black leather overcoat that finished at her ankle.

Known for her striking looks, Carina has drawn comparisons to Kim Kardashian, with some MAFS fans fans dubbing her ‘Temu Kim.’
The reality star was roasted after she wore a halter neck dress that featured a curve-hugging, ruched bodice and a matching head scarf to a MAFS dinner party.
Internet sleuths were quick to discover she had borrowed the exact look from Kim’s younger sister Kylie, who wore the same dress in a promotional shoot for The Kardashians.
In a showreel attached to her website, Carina shared a video in which she said her top five dream red carpet interviewees are: ‘Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, The Weeknd and Drake.’
Carmel, meanwhile cut a similarly chic look that would not have been out of place in Kris Jenner’s wardrobe.
She wore a crisp white sports jacket that featured a quirky pop of yellow on the shoulders.

They did feel the need for some refreshments though, stopping at a local cafe for a post-shopping pick-me-up.
Carina also appeared happy to chat to fans on the street as Carmel watched on.
Speaking to Daily Mail in January, Carina said she was flattered by the nickname, but laughed it off nonetheless.
‘I mean, come on—I’m a little more classy than that! But honestly, I am inspired by Kim’s fashion and style,’ she said.
‘Most of all, I resonate with her family dynamic. I come from a big family too, and that’s something I deeply value.’
Like Kris Jenner, who has four children – Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, and Rob Kardashian, and 14 grandchildren, mum Carmel also enjoys a large family with 5 children and ten grandchildren.
And much like the Kardashians, who have a vast multi-media empire at their feet, Carina, too is part of an impressive family-run business.
The Mirabile family, led by Carina’s mother and father Carmel and Tony, run Beyond Tools—a purveyor of heavy duty machinery and power tools.
Located in Malaga, just outside of Perth, Beyond Tools has been servicing handy men and women since 1986.
It’s a truly family-run business as well, with Tony and Carmel sharing the CEO role.
She added an element of drama to her ensemble with a long black leather overcoat that finished at her ankle.

The matriarch also balances her CEO role with that of accounts manager, while also helping her children raise ten grandkids.
Carina’s brothers Charles and Anthony also work in the business, running the service department and financials respectively.
Her sisters, Rosemarie and Janelle also take a very active role, as heads of marketing, advertising and IT.
Not one to be left out, Carina also works in the business and, as a digital marketing manager and social media specialist.
Fellow MAFS bride Awhina Rutene took aim at Carina on that point, after she suggested Awhina’s twin sister Cleo was a lower ‘calibre’ than herself, to husband Paul Antoine.
‘Saying someone is in a different calibre to you, you’re essentially saying that you’re better than them. I would love to know what makes you better than my twin sister,’ she said.
‘Where are you at in your life Carina to look down at her?,’ Awhina challenged.
‘I know you live at home. I know you work for your family’s business. My sister owns her own house. I could turn around and judge you and call you an entitled, sheltered princess.’
Carina tried out careers as a broadcast journalist, TV personality, host, model, and actress, prior to applying for season 12 of MAFS.
She got her big TV break in as ‘lead actress’ in a Channel Nine TV segment filmed with Beyond Tools in 2018.
