Kim Kardashian's new VIP celebrity friendship circle revealed during SKIMS store opening

2 weeks ago 6

Kim Kardashian sure has a lot of celebrity friends - think of Lauren Sanchez, Jennifer Lopez and Jonathan 'Foodgod' Cheban.

And the circle just seems to be getting bigger and bigger, which she proved on Thursday at the grand opening of her new flagship SKIMS store in New York City.

The 44-year-old SKIMS founder, who was on a scooter due to a broken foot, posed with some A-list lookers.

They all huddled together outside the stunning Manhattan store as fans and security looked on.

They were Teyana Taylor, Ciara, Paris Hilton, Ice Spice and La La Anthony.

Also at the bash was Cardi B who wore leopard print as well as Gayle King, Tate McRae, Meghan Trainor, Kelsea Ballerini and Nia Long.

Kim used the device after previously trying out a boot cast for her injured foot, though she wasn't willing to part with her high-heeled boots for her unaffected leg.

Kim also didn't let her injury stop her from showing off a stunningly revealing bustier top that she threatened to pop out of.

Fans were quick to rave about Kim's appearance on social media, with one fan commenting: 'Love that she still put a heel on it!! That’s my girl.' Another said: 'This pic coulda been straight outta 2013. WE ARE SO BACK!' 

She revealed last week that she had broken her foot

Despite having a broken foot that was possibly painful and swollen, Kim shockingly opted to wear the same heel for her broken foot as for her ambulatory one.

She favored a sizzling all-white ensemble that highlighted her famous curves.

The Kardashians star wore a white zip-up bustier top that left her shoulders and upper chest bare and put the spotlight on her cleavage — which looked in danger of a wardrobe malfunction — thanks to its plunging design.

The top appeared to be made of leather, and Kim fittingly paired it with a set of white leather pants that hugged her hips.

The minimalist design got a slight upgrade with what looked like a fleur-de-lis design over her knees. 

Kim wore her raven hair down in thick, lustrous waves cascading down her shoulders, while it was styled up top in a slight bump.

She displayed her long bangs, which hung down across her forehead for a stylish look.

On Instagram, several fans were delighted to see Kim persevering despite her broken foot, and some praised her decision to wear a heel on her injured foot.

One fan bizarrely — but affectionately — wrote: 'I love how more and more she's starting to look like she's from an Italian game show. But like for real. I love this for her.'

Kim was celebrating the opening of her SKIMS flagship store in New York City, which boasts an impressive 6,570 square feet and four floors in a building that used to be a Versace store, according to Hypebeast. 

The grand opening proved to be a star-studded event as Cardi B, Ciara, Ice Spice, and Paris Hilton showed up in support of Kim.  

Although Kim apparently felt she was ready to try wearing a heel on her broken foot on Thursday, she opted for more protective footwear last week. 

On Saturday, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star took to her Instagram Story to share an image of her left foot encased in a boot cast as she modeled a single black stiletto boot on her right.

In the knee-down image, the SKIMS founder crossed her legs while proving that she refuses to give up her glamorous style.

Her update post comes a day after the reality star revealed that she had broken her foot via Instagram while wearing the boot cast and using crutches.

'FML,' Kim wrote alongside the photo with a swearing emoji. 'Broken foot for the holidays.' She added Fergie's 2006 hit Clumsy above the image.

Also joining the celebration was singer and actress Teyana Taylor, who looked fierce in all black

The reality TV star did not disclose how she managed to break her foot but it comes after she launched a new ski collection for SKIMS.

Kim is an avid skier and her new collaboration is in partnership with North Face.

This isn't the first time Kim has gotten injured this year.

This summer she broke her index and middle finger so badly that the bone was poking out of her skin, as she revealed on an episode of her family's Hulu reality show.

'My big sliding door in my bathroom that opens up,' she explained during an episode of The Kardashians in July. 

'I was shutting it and there's no latch. You have to pull the inside of the mechanics out.'

She explained that Saint, nine, had run into the bathroom with chips and as she told him to put them away, the door slammed on her fingers.

'I literally looked at my hand and I fell to the ground,' she recalled. 'I just grabbed the table and got on my knees because I just saw all this blood.'

Kim tried to describe the intense pain she felt when the injury happened. 

'You can't describe the pain but your whole body goes in shock,' she explained. 'It was more painful than childbirth.'

The foot injury comes just after the busy mom celebrated her son Saint's ninth birthday, calling him 'one of my soulmates' as she paid tribute to him on Instagram. 

Kim included 11 of her favorite photos of her and Saint 'snuggling' together in bed inside her $60million Hidden Hills mansion. 

'My birthday boy Saint turns 9 today,' she wrote on December 5. 'I was going through my photos and most of our pics are snuggling cuddling pics.

'I always wanna believe that my little man will be this snuggly forever! So cheers to one of my soulmates for being the sweetest boy. Happy birthday. I love you.'

Kim's sweet post comes amid dad Kanye West's apparent absence from their four kids' lives — two years after he and his ex-wife reached a joint custody agreement.

The rapper, 47, hasn't been seen publicly with either Saint, North, 11, Chicago, six, or Psalm, five, in nearly three months.
