Kim Kardashian has unveiled supermodel Kate Moss as the face of her shapewear brand Skims for summer 2021.
The reality TV star posted two modelling shots of Kate in Skims clothing on Twitter, one in its black smoothing shorts and the other in a white underwear set as she shared her excitement over her friend’s collaboration with the label.
Kim wrote: ‘Introducing Kate Moss for @SKIMS. I first met Kate in 2014 through Ricardo Tisci, and was instantly struck by her cheeky humor, authentic and classic beauty – we’ve been friends ever since!
‘She is THE fashion icon, defining a whole generation of style and I am honoured to feature her as the new face of @SKIMS this Summer!’
In the first shot, a simple set-up with a grey backdrop, the 47-year-old looked stunning in the white cotton ensemble, with her wind-swept hair covering her eye and one hand up behind her head.
In the second, Kate held her hair up in a tousled style, with her arm across her chest as she showed off the black sculpting shorts, which retail with a price tag from £37.

Fans were hyped for the partnership, with one commenting: ‘Amazing to see Kim! Great job’, while another praised Kate’s beauty, writing: ‘Gosh she is timeless.’
The pair were recently together on a trip to Rome, with the 40-year-old fashion and make-up founder posting photos of their trip to the Vatican – perhaps they were polishing up the final details of the announcement then?
Wearing stiletto heels and contrasting black and white dresses, the power duo explored the sites, from St Peter’s Basilica to the Sistine Chapel, as they spent time with one another.
Kim drew heat for her sheer cut-out style dress as people blasted her for not respecting the dress code, but the aspiring lawyer was quick to respond and reassure her critics that she ‘adhered to the dress code and fully covered up’ when necessary.
In some of her accompanying photos to the post, where she shared her ‘incredible experience’ of touring the Vatican, which is a city-state surrounded by Rome, Kim can be seen holding and wearing a large black jacket.
