In the snap taken in 2016, the 37-year-old donned a loosely-fitted black tee-shirt with the Las Vegas Raiders’ logo and name branded on the front.
She wore the oversized shirt with no pants, pairing the look with knee-high leather black boots and lime green polished nails.
Khloe also accessorized with a black choker sweat band around her neck with her nickname “Koko” embroidered on it.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum posed while leaning up against a white wall with a full face of makeup.
She shared the snap on Instagram along with the caption: “I like this one better”
However, it was the TV star’s updo that reignited chatter from critics as she sported her blonde hair in numerous tight buns.
One person lashed out at the star’s hairstyle calling her a “cultural appropriator.”
“This is bantu knots which is a traditional african hairstyle. It was really popular amongst AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN at the time as a low maintenance style for natural hair.

“Of course this cultural appropriator thought it was okay to put in her hair. Ugh,” they wrote.
While another critic agreed with the comment, adding: “No, Forreal! Who thought this was okay? And also paired with the raiders shirt…hmmm….”
A third fan chimed in, writing: “Yeah that was weird. Just to imagine some hairstylist doing that for her.”
And a fourth compared the look to the Cynthia doll from the 90s animated children’s series Rugrats.
NEW LOOK
Khloe recently showed off a major hair change as she rocked a short blonde bob to the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty over the weekend.
The TV personality shared a series of snaps showcasing her party look, which included a sparkly silver gown.
She captioned the post: “Scarface Elvira energy”
Khloe attended the star-studded event with her sister Kim Kardashian.
The following day, the Revenge Body star hit the gym as she posed in a plum-colored outfit, showing off her chiseled abs.
The selfie was one of many gym pics the E! alum has shared in recent months as fans’ fears heighten over her pin-thin figure.
Some fans questioned Khloe’s well-being after she recently posted a video of her intense workout routine.
One concerned follower responded: “I know Khloe seems very happy with her body lately and I’m happy for her, but I can’t help but be concerned when she posts these stories because she’s so skinny so suddenly?”
Other KUWTK fans wonder if her weight loss and altered appearance is linked to her breakup from her ex Tristan Thompson.
LOVE CHILD SCANDAL
The former couple split after Tristan, 31, welcomed a son named Theo with fitness model Maralee Nichols, 31, back in December.
The NBA star was exclusively dating Khloe at the time of the months-long affair.
The two are parents to three-year-old daughter True.
In a trailer for a new tell-all interview, Khloe was grilled by Good Morning America host Robin Roberts about the scandal.
On Thursday, People released an exclusive preview of Khloe and Robin’s sit-down which was to promote the family’s upcoming Hulu series.
The talk show host also took the opportunity to address the details surrounding the pair’s split.
Getting right to it, Robin asked the mother-of-one: “Tristan. Where do things stand? How are you all doing?”
Before the preview cut away from Khloe, the clip teased how emotional and worried she looked after getting the question.
The full ABC primetime special will air on April 6.
More details will also come to light on the Hulu series airing April 14.
