Kim Kardashian steps out in shocking dress with breasts almost entirely on display

It's no secret Kim Kardashian isn't afraid to show a little skin ... but her latest outfit has just taken things to a whole new level!

Stepping out at the 5th Annual Hollywood Beauty Awards in Los Angeles, the 38-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shocked onlookers in a black vintage 1998 Thierry Mugler cut-out gown with a thigh-high slit.

With its matching wrist straps and velvet torso panel, the outfit left little to the imagination!

The mum-of-three - who shares North, five, Saint, three, and Chicago, 11 months with husband Kanye West - accessorised the look with a chunky perspex heel.

How she avoided a major wardrobe malfunction, we do not know!
