Kim Kardashian recently offered a behind-the-scenes look at her striking body-painted photoshoot for Re-Edition Magazine. The media personality, 45, shared images and videos on Monday, November 5, revealing the intricate artistry involved.
One featured look showcased her body painted to mimic a low-cut top, a tailored blazer, high-waisted trousers, and a brown leather belt. The only actual clothing item was a thong, which was also painted to blend into the illusion.
Her makeup was equally bold, featuring luminous foundation, defined brows, smoky eyes with black eyeliner, and long lashes. She completed the look with nude, lined lips.
Kardashian’s natural brown hair was concealed beneath a blonde pixie wig. The wig featured micro bangs and was styled with a wet-look finish.
She accessorized this ensemble with black leather shoes.
Another painted outfit revealed an exposed décolletage, simulating an unbuttoned white top and a patterned tie. For this particular styling, Kardashian wore actual trousers and patent leather shoes.
The star of "The Kardashians" also posed topless for the shoot. She wore a striped eye mask and a silk tie around her neck, using her hands to cover her chest.
Several patterned ties were also knotted around her waist, complementing gray dress pants and flat shoes.
In a separate social media post, the Skims founder shared a suggestive mirror selfie. She was seen pouting at the camera, wearing an unbuttoned blouse.
Kardashian captioned her Instagram post, "Behind the scenes of Re-Edition Magazine. Created, directed, and styled by @illjahjah."
Friends and fans reacted enthusiastically to her barely-there ensembles.
Olivia Pierson commented, "Soooo beautiful 😍."
One fan humorously noted the pixie cut’s resemblance to Kris Jenner, writing, "You look amazing, Kris! 🥺 I mean, Kim!"
Another admirer praised the artistry, exclaiming, "Whoever painted that is so talented!"
Kardashian later provided more insights on TikTok that same Monday. She addressed using a cigarette as a prop in the photoshoot.
She clarified that she has "never even smoked a puff of a cigarette in [her] life."
Kardashian explained that she often has to ask someone else to light and inhale for her during shoots.
"I really thought maybe I’d start smoking during law school but I didn’t," she stated. "It’s just not my thing. But I did it for the photoshoot. I did it for art. I know people are going to think it’s horrible, but it is what it is."
The TikTok video concluded with a clip of Kardashian in the shower, washing the body paint from her skin.
