Reality TV star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has showcased her signature style against the frosty backdrop of Aspen, Colorado, while also revealing a significant thaw in her famously strained relationship with ex-husband Kanye West.
Aspen Getaway: From Slopes to Style
Despite the sub-zero temperatures in the exclusive ski resort, the 45-year-old SKIMS founder shared a series of Instagram photos that highlighted both her winter wardrobe and her trip's adventures. In one striking image, Kardashian posed in a curve-hugging, semi-sheer dress with a cosy white jacket draped off her shoulders, offering a smouldering look to the camera.
She provided an alternative view from the back in a subsequent photo, though a luxurious fur jacket covered her famous rear. The carousel of images also showed a more practical side to her getaway, with the star bundled head-to-toe in a black ski suit and helmet for the slopes, rendering her almost unrecognisable.
Another photo depicted her sauntering down a hallway in a head-to-toe leather outfit, complete with a lavish fur scarf and hat. Kardashian uploaded the collection on Monday without a caption, letting the visuals speak for themselves.
A Cordial Family Holiday Reunion
The Aspen trip follows a notable family gathering over the holidays. According to reports from TMZ, Kardashian and West put their long-running differences aside to celebrate together with their four children: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5.
Sources described the atmosphere as respectful and cordial, with both parents focused on their family. This marks a significant shift from years of public conflict and estrangement. Insiders told the outlet that the former couple are now actively working to improve their co-parenting relationship.
This reconciliation appears to follow a period of reflection by West. Sources indicated the rapper has been 'working on himself' and reassessing his actions from earlier this year, which included making widely condemned antisemitic remarks and praising Adolf Hitler.
Shifting Dynamics in Co-Parenting
This harmonious holiday stands in stark contrast to Kardashian's recent candid admissions about the difficulties of co-parenting with West. Last month on her show, The Kardashians, she confessed the relationship sometimes pushed her 'to the brink', particularly when West questioned her 'character as a mom'.
She emphasised to Scott Disick that her priority is providing stability, stating her 'only focus and job' is to stay 'strong' as the more consistent parent. When a producer noted West is 'very loud out there,' Kardashian replied, 'I just can't really engage. I think it's just for the better.'
In a positive development, TMZ also reported that West has grown more supportive of their daughter North's burgeoning social media presence. Despite viral AI-generated videos on TikTok suggesting otherwise, sources say West approves of her activity and has encouraged her to share creative content connected to him. He has also embraced her individuality, including her bold fashion choices and blue hair.
