The 40-year-old reality star is scheduled to host Saturday Night Live this weekend with Halsey as the musical guest.

Made in Italy from supple black leather, her towering over-the-knee boots feature sharp pointed toes and 100mm stiletto heels.

Despite the relatively mild 68° (20°c) autumn weather, the South Park Hobbit styled her boots with a black leather puffer vest that you can buy for $4,450 at Luisaviaroma, a long-sleeved turtleneck top, a leather corset with a floor-length skirt over top, rectangular 0122S Extreme sunglasses, a burgundy bag, leather gloves, and a black baseball hat.

According to Us Weekly, filming has begun for the new Kardashian Hulu series.

“The new show is going to have the entire family be part of it, but Kim, Khloé [Kardashian], Kourtney [Kardashian] and Kris [Jenner] are going to be on it the most,” a source told the magazine of the new Hulu series.

“There’s a strong focus on Kim’s journey as a lawyer, which fans got a taste of in the last season [of Keeping Up With the Kardashians]. They’re making [the new show] somewhat political.”

“It’s an entirely different concept,” the source added. “It’s more chic. They recently started filming. They’re going to try to keep filming on the down-low as much as possible to keep it a surprise for fans.”

In September 2014, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were touring around down under while on Kanye’s The Yeezus Tour. On September 8, the couple arrived at Adelaide Airport in South Australia.
