Kim Kardashian is unrecognisable with bleached brows as she models skimpy SKIMS Winter Heat collection

Kim Kardashian has launched the new SKIMS’ Winter Heat collection and it includes some of her skimpiest pieces yet, including faux fur bikinis and knitted co-ords from £48

If there’s one thing we didn’t expect to be on our winter wishlist it was bikinis, but it seems Kim Kardashian has once again given fans the unexpected as she launches her brand new Winter Heat collection for SKIMS, which is available to shop from 5pm on December 18. The reality star modelled the new releases on Instagram, showing off not only the teeny tiny bikinis, but also a startling beauty transformation too.

For the shoot, Kim ditched her signature dark hair for a much lighter shade, and opted for bleached brows to give her a slightly frosted look that matched the winter vibes. Her makeover also had fans comparing her to several other famous faces, with one saying: “For a second i thought it was some sort of collaboration with @beyonce.”

Meanwhile another wrote: “I know I’m not the only one thinking she was giving SHAKIRA.” A third even added: “Girl, I thought this was Aubrey O’Day.”

Kim’s Instagram teaser included the most unexpected items of all; a faux fur bikini. The Faux Fur Triangle Bralette And Thong Set will set you back £82 and comes in sizes XXs to 4XL with moveable cups and thin adjustable ties for customizable support.

Kim also gave fans a sneak preview on her Instagram stories before the launch, saying: “SKIMS holiday wouldn’t be complete without a little faux fur bikini action. The cables are so cute, when you tie them they’re tiny and they’re really stretchy, and I love these colours; the marble, the stone and the oxide.”

It wasn’t all faux fur bikinis, however, as Kim also showed off some much more weather-appropriate knitted co-ords that are sure to be a major hit with SKIMS fans. The cable knit sets come in three colours; white, baby pink and baby blue, with one fan commenting on the set saying: “Need this in every color.”

She also talked her followers through the various knitted pieces in the Winter Heat collection, saying: “We have the cutest cable knit collection that’s really cute for winter, I’m kind of obsessing over baby blue” as she shared a close up of a blue cable knit jumper with a zip up front.

She added: “But we have this little cardigan that’s a higher neck, with the cutest low waisted – or they’re roll over like a legging, but a flared legging – and then we have little tanks and shorts and a little top.”

The knitted sets include the zip up cardigan, £108, and pair of Knit Foldover Pants, £98, that are perfect for cosying up against the cold over winter. You can also mix and match them with the other cable knitted pieces in the collection, which include the Sweater Knit Shorts and the Sweater Knit Cami, both of which cost £68, and the Sweater Knit Triangle Bralette, £48.

You can shop the full SKIMS Winter Heat Collection from 5pm December 18. You can also still shop pieces from the SKIMS X North Face collab if you’re after something a little more winter-ready.

For more cable knit co-ord, ASOS has pair of cable knit wide leg trousers for £45 and a matching button-up cardigan , £36. Meanwhile New Look offer the Off White Cable Knit Trousers for £29.99, whilst the matching cable knit jumper is now on sale down from £29.99 to £18.
