Kim Kardashian's curves are already out of this world, but the 44-year-old just took them to new heights—literally. A 60-foot balloon of Kim is currently towering over Times Square in NYC.

Kim, however, is living for it. She posted a shot of the balloon on her Instagram Story, writing, “OMG… I cannot believe there is a 60-foot float of me in SKIMS in the middle of Times Square.”
The launch comes after Skims shared photos from the campaign shoot in the Bahamas with Playboy photographer Ana Dias, where Kim rocked the same blue bikini as the balloon.
In a press release, she gushed about the new line, saying, “I absolutely love how this collection has something for everyone. Whether you're on vacation or at the beach, it’s all about feeling confident and amazing in what you wear.”
Kim at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Kim’s Times Square takeover wasn’t her only headline this week. She was also one of the A-list guests at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, turning heads in a white gown that had fans reminiscing about her 2011 wedding to Kris Humphries.
