Kim Kardashian WOWS as she flaunts her curves in a furkini in a PHOTOshoot by hubby, Kanye West

If these photos of Mrs West in a fur bikini don't wow you, then what or who will?

There can't be many buyers out there for a fur bikini.

But Kim Kardashian proved just how useful such a seemingly impractical garment could be as she played in the snow wearing her 'furkini'.

Having seemingly waxed every hair from her sun-kissed body, the beauty avoided frostbite to her most private regions with the help of a thick covering of fur.

In a series of Twitter snaps the beauty posed against a snowy backdrop, seductively flipping her long brown locks around her face.

'Baby it's cold outside...' she tweeted, making sure nobody had missed her unusual garment by adding 'furkini!'

The photoshoot was released by Kim after she returned from a snowy getaway with her husband and a group of their friends.

Ever the Instagram-lover, she had shared snap after snap from the slopes, as she and Kanye went skiing together.

The brunette beauty also shared a black and white snap of herself with seven old friends.

'Best 24 hr ski trip with 8 couples! All my best friends from childhood, nope they won't let me tag them or name them. I respect their privacy by just posting a pic lol,' she wrote to her more than 28million followers on Instagram. 

Perhaps Kim's decision to release her bikini shoot was inspired by Kanye's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose's Instagram.

The hip-hop muse, who dated rapper Kanye for for two years, showed off her one-of-a-kind figure in a series of bikinis this week - the most eye-catching of which was simply carefully placed black string. 

It led to her being labelled the new Queen Of Instagram, something Kim is unlikely to be too pleased about.
