Kim Kardashian's micro bikini obsessed has struck again, so prepare yourselves folks. Back in July, the 42-year-old shared a handful of snaps wearing an *uber* tiny swim set, sending the internet into overdrive in the process. Aaaaaand now she's just gone and done it again, this time debuting not one but two itsy-bitsy bikinis. And this time, they're bedazzled.
This morning, Kim took to Instagram to share a series of smokin' hot bikini snaps with her 333 million followers. The styles in question are, Kim explains in her caption, part of her brand SKIMS holiday collection. And, while you might be forgiven for thinking that bikinis don't feel terribly festive, Kim's gone and covered them in diamantés. The result? Equal parts daring an amazing. The mega-high cut briefs and tiny string style top aren't for the faint-hearted but, as we already know, Kim isn't afraid of a little fashion experiment.
Naturally, fans are losing it in the captions, commenting:
SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!
SO BOMB 🔥🔥🔥🔥
so hot 🔥
Slayyyy gurl🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This isn't Kim's first micro bikini - no ma'am - back in July, Kim debuted yet *another* minuscule 'kini.
In the 13(!!) part IG story, Kim started off by filming a set of new SKIMS bikinis, saying: "I am so excited to announce 'Swim' and making towels that match everything. And how we had our core nudes and black on our first drop. We're always going to add some new colours, so instead of the blues, we're going to add white and pink with the matching towels and all of the styles.
"I'm going to try all of the bathing suits on for you guys", Kim added.
Everyone's clicking on...
Then, as she promised, the video cut to the bikini in question:
Whilst filming herself in the mirror and showing off her new creation, Kim says: "This is one of our new styles, the micro tanga bottom and the micro triangle top".
Small, IKR!!! But wait, there's more.
If you thought things couldn't get any more revealing, the fashion mogul says: "White swimwear could get a little sheer. Our fabric is nice and thick and holds you in and it's great but it will get a little sheer. So, layer or be prepared". Uhhhh, whaaaat?!
So there you have it, Kim K repping a whole load of micro bikinis.
