The INSIDER Summary:

• Kim Kardashian West paid homage to Cher on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Arabia's September issue.
• Kardashian West often refers to Cher as her "Armenian queen."
• People are freaking out over the cover.
• Kardashian West also paid homage to First Lady Jackie Kennedy on the September issue of Interview magazine.

It's officially September issue season for magazines. This year, Kim Kardashian West not only channeled First Lady Jackie Kennedy on the cover of Interview, but also Cher on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Arabia.

In the cover shot, Kardashian West is pictured in a fringed metallic caftan with her long hair splayed across her shoulders.

Kardashian West's pose and "no-makeup" makeup undoubtedly pay homage to Cher. Kardashian West has called the pop sensation her "Armenian queen" on more than one occasion in reference to their shared heritage.

For another photo, Kardashian West replicated one of Cher's popular looks by wearing a simple blouse with jeans from her sister Khloe's Good American line. Her third outfit was an embellished bodysuit with fringes.

The reality TV star shared pictures from the shoot on Twitter.

This isn't the star's first time expressing her love of Cher. Back in May, Kardashian West shared nine pictures of  Cher on Instagram in honor of the singer's birthday.

As expected, Twitter users had mixed reactions to the shoot.

Some saw the resemblance clearly.

 However, not everyone loves this shoot. Some people accused Kardashian West of being unoriginal.

Interestingly enough, Cher, who is active on Twitter, has not addressed the Harper's Bazaar shoot.

Kardashian West has not responded to the accusations that she copied Cher, but it's pretty clear that she intended to pay homage to the singer.
