Kim Kardashian, 46, posted a series of beach photos to Instagram showing her in a knit dress with cutouts at the chest and torso, paired with matching chunky knit armbands. She wore her hair down and kept her makeup minimal for the shots.
The post drew heavy engagement in the comments, with fans offering effusive praise. One commenter wrote, “KIM…we need to breathe babe.” Another wrote, “OH MY GOSH MOTHER!!!! IM LIVING FOR THIS!!!!” A third called her “the most beautiful woman on the planet.”
Kardashian shared similar bikini photos from a tropical family vacation earlier this year, some including her boyfriend, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. The two confirmed their relationship publicly in April through a video posted to Hamilton’s Instagram account, which showed him driving his Ferrari F40 on a track in Tokyo with Kardashian in the passenger seat.
Celebrity matchmaker Alessandra Conti commented on the relationship to Fox News Digital in May. “There are certain couples that just make sense and feel natural,” Conti said, adding that the relationship could succeed if both partners prioritize time together despite demanding careers.
Skims Advent Calendar Backlash
The beach photos come amid renewed criticism of Kardashian’s shapewear brand, Skims, over its $148 advent calendar. The 12-day calendar included hair ties, scrunchies, clips, bobby pins, keychains and a compact mirror rather than clothing, prompting complaints from customers and content creators as unboxing videos spread online.
One social media user wrote, “For SKIMS to be a CLOTHING brand and not include a single piece of clothing in the SKIMS advent Christmas calendar is crazy and ridiculous actually. 150$ for Bobby pins, scrunchies and tree ornaments WOW.” Another user referred to the company as “Skams.” Some defenders noted the company’s website had listed the calendar’s contents in advance.
In response, Skims told Page Six that because “the calendar didn’t meet expectations,” the company has “personally contacted every customer who purchased the calendar and offered them a choice of a full refund or a Skims credit to put towards other products.”
