Kim Kardashian certainly turned up the heat with her latest attention demanding reveal.
The reality star turned business entrepreneur, 41, dazzled away in a pretty much non-existent bikini as she wowed on the front cover of Sports Illustrated.
Looking scorching-hot, Kim slipped one of her SKIM’s collection for the racy shoot – a barely-there two-piece that was nude in colour.
The mum-of-four flexed her toned body and famous curves as she showcased years of experience in front of the camera as she gazed straight into the lens like a queen.
The Kardashian’s bombshell was joined in the special edition by singer Ciara, 36, model Yumi Nu and Elon Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, 74.

According to editor and chief MJ Day, the four women were selected “to headline one of the most diverse issues in the magazines history”.
Kim, who was clearly over joyed to have been asked and selected for the shoot, told fans on Instagram: “OMG I’m a Sports Illustrated cover girl!!!! We shot this back in January and it’s been so hard to keep this cover a secret!
“For the location we went back to one of my favorite places in the world, the Dominican Republic!”

She added: “It’s such an honor and a dream to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Bucket List goals!!!!
“Thank you to @mj_day, the @si_swimsuit team, @gregswalesart, @superrrdani, @mariodedivanovic, @chrisappleton1 and everyone who worked incredibly hard on this shoot to make it happen.”
While many of Kim’s 311 million Instagram followers were very complimentary about the front cover, others were slight more critical.
Some questioned whether Kim was the ideal candidate to represent diverse women.
“This is embarrassing. After all you’ve been working towards to show regular day to day women who are incredible.. this is what you do? Yikes,” penned one user.
“Kim K is the exact opposite of a naturally beautiful woman. She encourages disordered eating and photoshop because she hates herself. Booo,” echoed another.
While a third encouraged: “To the young girls who are looking at this cover. You do not need plastic surgery to be beautiful! Ignore the cover. There are plenty of inspiring women inside the magazine to look up to being themselves.”
The mogul had been snapped in the Dominican Republic wearing her very own range on the front cover.
In another image, Kim can be seen rocking a silver half-length zipper, green gloves as she got to grips with a motorbike in the forest.
