They are her regular wardrobe staple, which help boost her 5'2 frame an extra six or so inches. But there is a time and a place for sky-high stilettos, and many would argue a desert camel ride would not be one of them. Kim Kardashian could not bear to be without her towering Christian Louboutins as she boarded the giant mammal in Dubai today.
The newlywed's garment was said to be a gift from one of her young fans. The two women put on a glamorous display as they emerged from the five-star Atlantis Hotel and Resort, where both mother and daughter are staying during their trip. They were escorted to their awaiting camels by two hotel staff holding umbrellas over their heads to shield them from the sun.
Once mounted, they were lead around the sand by a traditionally dressed man. The pair were also being filmed; most likely for Kim's reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Later in the day, Kim visited the Dubai Mall, where she was set to open the Middle East's first Millions Of Milkshakes store and sign bottles of her perfume at Sephora. She appeared on a catwalk in the middle of the shopping center dressed in a floor-length Scarlett gown to address her fans. Earlier she tweeted: 'About to head out to the Dubai Mall, who is there?'
Kim has certainly experimented with her fashion whilst being in the United Arab Emirates city. Yesterday she covered up her infamous shape in an all-black burka, a traditional dress worn by many Muslin women. Kim and Kris had headed into a traditional dress shop to try on the styles for themselves and both women wasted no time embracing the religious outfits. Kim covered her body completely, with her face shielded by the niqab, the pillar-box covering that leaves only a woman’s eyes on show.
The look was in stark contrast to the outfit Kim had arrived in, which consisted of a black skirt nipped in at the waist and a sheer black and white blouse. But it seems that Mrs Kris Humphries was rather taken with the new look and left in one of the dresses although she opted just to wear the ?ijab, the head covering out of the shop. As she and Kris left the shop they were met with a large crowd eager to see the American reality TV stars.
But as ever there was plenty of security on hand to ensure no one got too close as the women were followed down the street. Kim has showed off a wide variety of styles on her trip to Dubai varying from tight fitting ensembles to sticking to the conservative dress preferred in the religious country. On Tuesday she made her way to the city's aquarium wearing a bright yellow top and green skirt that accentuated her famous behind.
And, ever the show woman, she pulled some silly poses as she observed the exotic fish swimming around at the Ambassador Lagoon at Atlantis, The Palm. Kim's outfit comprised a sleeveless yellow shirt, with a green skirt that clung to her every curve. With her long dark locks tied back into a ponytail, she accessorised with a pair of tan coloured Louboutins and a gold clutch. Kim was accompanied by her mother Kris Jenner on the outing.
The group then headed inside the Nobu restaurant. She reportedly asked the waiter for a special Midori melon cocktail (Kim is a spokesperson for the brand) as she did a toast with her group at the table to kick off her first full day in Dubai. The reality star has been keeping followers on her Twitter page informed of her activities, posting up pictures of the view from her hotel room and telling them how excited she was to be there. And, though she has a huge following of her own, she was quick to compliment Dubai's female population.
She wrote: 'Seriously the woman in Dubai are sooo gorgeous!!! I'm sure @RobKardashian is so jealous he didn't come with me! WOW these woman are beautiful!' While Kim appears to be having a great time in the Middle East she also has a jam packed business schedule. As well as today's meet and greets, she will spend the evening hosting a gala dinner at At.mosphere in the Burj Khalifa. And on Sunday Kim is set to be pampered as a dinner has been arranged in Kim's honour by Emirates Hospitality at the Al Han Restaurant in Abu Dhabi.
