Kim Kardashian is gearing up for summer with her sizzling new SKIMS swim campaign. The reality star and businesswoman, aged 43, has unveiled her latest swimwear collection through a series of striking photos, lensed by renowned British photographer Nick Knight and styled by Carine Roitfeld. In the campaign, Kim showcases daring black and red pieces, including SKIMS' new snake print, sporting a halter-style dress and a strapless monkini in the eye-catching pattern.
According to a press release, Knight was chosen to "capture the collection in a style reminiscent of his classic and avant-garde fashion campaigns from the 2000s." This nod to the era also pays tribute to Kim's iconic style during her rise in Hollywood alongside Paris Hilton. Kim had previously collaborated with Knight for the steamy 2013 cover of L'Officiel Hommes, featuring her then-boyfriend Kanye West, and the 2012 cover of V Magazine.
Teasing the new swimwear collection during a vacation with her sisters in Turks and Caicos, Kim and Khloé Kardashian, aged 39, were seen lounging on the beach in snake print pieces. Kim opted for a triangle bikini while Khloe rocked a scoop-necked high-cut one-piece. Kim added a touch of Western flair to her beach look with a cowboy hat, humorously captioning her Instagram carousel, "This ain't Texas... it's Turks," referencing Beyoncé's song "Texas Hold 'Em" from her album Cowboy Carter. Khloe accessorized her snake print ensemble with a matching headscarf.
Kim later shared more vacation snapshots, dubbing herself "Cake Boss" in the caption of an Instagram post, where she posed in a black bikini adorned with silver belly chains. Meanwhile, Kourtney playfully teased her sisters by resharing a photo of Kim and Khloé sprawled on the beach in their racy swimwear while she lounged on a chair in the background. She reposted the photo on her Instagram Stories, jesting, "I love taking pics with my sisters!"
After their tropical getaway, Kim turned heads at the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on April 13. She stunned in a white, floor-length bandage-style gown featuring a halter neckline, subtle waist cutouts, and an open back. Completing her glamorous look with a wet-looking hairstyle and glossy makeup, Kim certainly made a splash at the event.
