Kim Kardashian turned up the heat this week with a racy vintage Mugler piece that has fans wondering where her waist went. The SKIMS founder is back again with another archival piece, and she decided to share the behind-the-scenes of her fitting.
Kim took to social media to show off the ultra-cinched, sheer Mugler bodysuit, a dramatic archival piece from the late Thierry Mugler’s Fall/Winter 1998 couture collection. She captioned the post simply, “Mugler Magic.”
The look featured a dramatic high-neck and long sleeves. This is not the first time the reality star has shown off her incredible figure, and this time the black bodysuit hugged her body like a second skin.

Fans and friends flooded the comments with positive comments. “TEN OUTTA TEN,” Katy Perry wrote, while Ivanka Trump chimed in, “Wowzer!!! Incredible !” Lauren Sánchez added, “This is just amazing."
