Best known for the American reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians (KUWTK), Kim Kardashian uncharacteristically covered up in two different all-black ensembles as she faced the winter cold of both London and Paris.

The reality star headed to London for a luncheon meeting with a business tycoon, Sir Philip Green, the CEO of the retail giant Arcadia Group.
Seven years earlier, the first series of KUWTK debuted on October 14, 2007, on the E! cable network. Born on October 21, 1980, in Los Angeles, California, the ShoeDazzle founder turned 27 just a few days later.
Kim Kardashian was 26 years old when the first episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on October 14, 2007, marking the beginning of her rise to global stardom
A Rare Moment of Modesty: Covered Up in Céline
Kim wore a black wool coat from Céline over a black top and black skinny jeans, which she tucked into black suede knee-high boots that helped elongate her petite 5ft 2 (157.5 cm) frame.

She wore dark sunglasses from Céline and carried a white crocodile-skin bag from Hermès. This is a surprising change of pace from Kim, famous for wearing barely-there outfits and flaunting her assets.
The Iconic Hermès Himalayan Birkin Bag
Crafted from Niloticus crocodile hide, her Hermès Himalayan Birkin bag features a unique white-to-gray ombré coloration inspired by the Himalayan mountains. It is often accented with diamond-encrusted or palladium hardware. Its delicate tanning process and limited production—reportedly only one or two are made annually—make it highly coveted.
After only five hours in the city, Kim was seen arriving at Heathrow Airport to catch a flight to her next destination.

Next Stop: Paris With Kanye West
In the City of Lights, Kim Kardashian stepped out for lunch with her fiancé, Kanye West, at the upscale Parisian restaurant L’Avenue. The then-33-year-old reality star turned heads in a structured black leather top featuring long sleeves, a high neckline, and a dramatic peplum silhouette.
She paired it with a sleek Alaïa pony hair pencil skirt, opaque black tights, and striking Tom Ford lace-up scallop sandals, which added edge and elegance to her look. To finish the ensemble, Kim carried a luxurious Bottega Veneta gold metal mesh Intrecciato Knot clutch and wore her hair down in soft waves for a polished, high-fashion vibe.

On the other hand, Kanye opted for stylish comfort in a camel coat over a gray hoodie, jeans, and white sneakers. Reports have been circulating that the couple was scouting for possible wedding venues in the French capital.
No concrete plans have been made regarding the location of their big day, but the Palace of Versailles could be an option as Kim and Kanye were seen heading to the historic building for a private visit.
