KIM Kardashian has shocked Today host Carson Daly with her new look for her role in the upcoming season of American Horror Story.
The morning show star insisted the reality TV personality looks “almost unrecognizable” in the new teaser trailer for season 12 of AHS.
On Friday, Carson shared the promo video with fans during his pop culture segment on the Today show.
Introducing it, he said: “Next up, Kim Kardashian, the reality star, has totally transformed for her latest TV role, making her American Horror Story debut in season 12 of Ryan Murphy’s creepy hit series.”
In the teaser, a chilling version of Rockabye Baby plays while a group of women with white hair dance in synchronization.
For her small part in the clip, Kim looked unlike herself with extremely pale skin, white hair, circular glasses with multiple lenses on each side, eyelashes way above her eyebrows, and bright red lips.

She also wore black latex gloves as she reached up to pull down her glasses slightly, in order to look directly into the camera.
Kim's full name was spelled out across the screen at one point, which helped fans, and Carson, realize who the woman on the screen was.
Near the end of the sneak peek, Kim can be seen holding a baby in a blanket while the dancing women sway upside down.
After the trailer finished playing, a shocked Carson exclaimed: “Didn’t even look like her! Kim K almost unrecognizable that first sneak peek.”

Alongside Kim, the show, and the teaser, also stars Emma Roberts and Cara Delevingne.
After the Kardashian was announced as a cast member, and then again when the new promo video dropped, AHS fans slammed the casting decision.
A few months ago, show creator Ryan Murphy opened up about his decision to add the mom-of-four.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family.
“Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture.
"Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.”
Ryan was reportedly taken with Kim and her acting chops after seeing her on Saturday Night Live in October 2021.
The pair are said to have met up to chat about creating a unique role for her on AHS.
