Television personality Maya Jama is drawing comparisons to Kim Kardashian as she navigates a multifaceted career that includes fashion, business, relationships, and acting.
Jama recently enlisted the help of Soki Mak, Kim Kardashian's stylist, for the premiere of "The Gentlemen" season two, where she will make her acting debut. Mak is known for creating many of Kardashian's iconic looks. This collaboration highlights Jama's growing presence in the fashion world and her emulation of Kardashian's career trajectory.
Jama's fashion choices have often mirrored Kardashian's, from viral outfits to specific designer pieces. In 2023, Jama wore a cutout Mônot dress that sold out online and bore a resemblance to a Thierry Mugler gown previously worn by Kardashian. Similarly, Jama has been seen in ensembles reminiscent of Kardashian's optical illusion Jean Paul Gaultier dress and Dolce & Gabbana collections, even adopting similar accessories and hairstyles.
Beyond fashion, both personalities have faced public scrutiny over their clothing choices. Jama has defended her style, stating that her confidence in her body should not be subject to criticism.
Jama's career also includes significant brand partnerships. She has fronted campaigns for Adidas, Levi, and Gap, with a prominent role as the face of Dolce & Gabbana's Fall/Winter 2023-24 collection. Kardashian, however, preceded Jama in working with Dolce & Gabbana, curating and starring in their Spring/Summer 2023 "Ciao Kim" collection.
In the business arena, Jama has launched her skincare company, MIJ Masks, reportedly valued at over £300,000, and is an investor and co-owner of the plant-based milk brand Sproud. She is also part of The Artists Collective, an investment group that supports early-stage tech companies. Kardashian, meanwhile, has achieved billionaire status with ventures including SKIMS, SKKN BY KIM, and the private equity firm SKKY Partners.
Both figures also share a history of high-profile relationships. Jama has dated rapper Stormzy, basketball player Ben Simmons, and footballer Ruben Dias, and has been linked to others. Kardashian has been married three times and has had notable relationships with figures in music, sports, and entertainment.
Jama's acting ambitions are set to expand with her role in "The Gentlemen," a Netflix series premiering on September 3. Kardashian has also ventured into acting, appearing in "American Horror Story: Delicate" and "All's Fair."
