Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Justin Bieber were among the celebrities spoofed in a new Simpsons special based on Balenciaga.

The iconic prime-time cartoon brought fashion icons to life for a 10-minute episode released on Saturday to coincide with the ongoing Paris Fashion Week.

Kim, 40, loved being immortalized in the animated style of The Simpsons so much that she shared a photo from the episode in her Instagram Stories on Saturday.

‘The show was on’: Kim Kardashian, 40, shared a photo from the Simpsons-themed Balenciaga and Paris Fashion Week episode, which featured a character dressed like her Met Gala look, except in red

She shared a setting in which several celebrities were seen sitting next to the runway during a Balenciaga fashion show.

One character was dressed in a striking head-to-toe red look that looked identical to Kim’s animated Met Gala set, aside from the color.

At last month’s high-profile fashion event, Kim arrived in a black gimp-style suit with a bondage-inspired mask that completely covered her face.

She paired the odd all-black ensemble with pointy boots and two long trains trailing behind her.

The outfit was designed by Balenciaga, who created many recent looks worn by her and her ex-husband Kanye West before the release of her album Donda.

The Simpsons character seemed like a perfect match for her, although the animators added an extra touch of humor by also having the character’s long ponytail locked into the outfit.

While less explicitly coded as Kanye, Kim’s character sits next to someone wearing a thick black motorcycle helmet and a matching biker suit.

The look was reminiscent of a sturdy spiked jacket he wore on one of his Donda listening parties while completely covering his head with a black mask.

Later in the Simpsons episode, Homer walks by in a red Balenciaga puffer jacket.

Chunky jackets were once a staple of Kanye’s style, though they are now a less common item for him.

However, he stood out at one of his Donda listening events in a thick red coat in the image of Homer, as well as matching pants.

The Simpsons also managed to nail Justin Bieber’s usual laid back style.

His lively avatar wore a loose denim jacket with a t-shirt, sweatpants, and sneakers, all standard elements of Bieber’s look.

The pop star generally opts for streetwear and tends to promote his own clothing brand Drew, finely tailored to his tastes.

Fittingly, he starred in a Balenciaga campaign this year.

Picture perfect: A version of Anna Wintour in the cartoon replicated her penchant for colorful floral dresses as she sat by the catwalk

In the video, the Anna lookalike is overwhelmed by the outfits worn by the Simpsons characters as they parade down the runway, leaving her sycophants to fight over who can agree with her most loudly.

The episode included a bit of French-inspired humor, as Homer becomes addicted to snails and apparently everyone in the French fashion insider smokes.

While Kim, Kanye, and Justin were all logical choices for a Balenciaga-themed episode due to their ties to the fashion house, none of them appear to have been in attendance at Paris Fashion Week.
