Kim brought her BFF Jonathan Cheban along as her Sonny-styled date to complete her look, which included a custom-made embellished Alexandrine crop top and flowing pants outfit and a dark wig that emulated the singer's iconic Cher hair for her first costume.

And you better "Believe" that Cher (who is a big fan of Kim) approved of the look.. "@KimKardashian Woke To See You Are Me 4 You Look BEAUTIFUL Little Armenian Sister," the singer tweeted.
