Kim Kardashian is always ready to push the envelope — and she definitely did that for her turn in the iconic Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
For her shoot — which SI Swim just highlighted on Wednesday, January 7 in a steamy throwback social media share on X (formerly Twitter) — the reality TV star and billionaire entrepreneur modeled a leather micro-bikini made by her sister Khloe’s brand, Good American. A pair of designer leather gloves finished the look.
KIM GALLERY: The photos are steamy.
“Seldom does leather ever not ring true as one of the edgiest materials out there,” reads an accompanying article on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “Kardashian’s black leather micro bikini is just what the aesthetic of her Dominican Republic featured needed to elevate even further into that electrifying higher ground. What especially attracted the most attention was none other than her elbow-length gloves. (Hopefully, she’ll pack these fire accessories in her next suitcase bound for Aspen!)”

The great Greg Swales photographed the star in the Dominican Republic, for the 2022 cover. The sporty shoot also saw the model with the killer curves don two sheer silver one-pieces with cut-outs and racing accessories such as gloves and a helmet.

“Now is as good a time as ever to experience a blast from the past in the form of revisiting Kardashian’s 2022 SI Swimsuit moment, starting off with one of her most eye-catching snapshots from her debut,” continued the outlet. “Kardashian has always been an It Girl. But if there was ever any doubt regarding this fact, this pic serves as the perfect proof. Her sleek silver one-piece swimsuit was a surefire way to make her look as captivating as ever, while her shades scored even more cool girl points. A pop of color, the neon green gloves were the icing on the cake.”
