Kim Kardashian put on a characteristically racy display in a sizzling new Instagram album Wednesday.
The pictures were evidently taken Sunday, when Kim exuded mob wife chic in a fuzzy, animal print Balenciaga couture coat while out in Paris.
She wrapped herself in the jacket while heading to lunch at Costes, an upscale hotel a stone’s throw from the Place Vendôme.
During that daytime outing, she was seen wearing bandages on two of her fingers, but she has yet to explain how she injured her hand.
In her new Instagram album, she wore the same saucy animal print coat – and served up a generous helping of cleavage underneath.

Kim enjoyed a long association with the fashion house, frequently modeling its designs before becoming a brand ambassador this January
Kim heaped with opprobrium last summer when Balenciaga was slammed for an ad campaign involving controversial pictures of children
Kim went tantalizingly topless under the coat in her pictures, letting the Balenciaga wrap fall open over her ample assets and enviably taut midriff.
She raised her hands to adjust her futuristic wine-red sunglasses, throwing the bandages on her left hand into relief.
Kim was in the French capital for Paris Fashion Week, where she of course secured a front row seat to take in the Balenciaga show.
While there, she found herself seated next to Mexican screen queen Salma Hayek and attempted to teach her how to take a selfie.
Evidently Kim had limited success imparting her influencer skills, as Salma’s face was partly cut off in the selfie she eventually took and posted to Instagram.
Salma is married to French tycoon François-Henri Pinault, the longtime chairman and CEO of Balenciaga’s parent company, the Kering Group.
Kim, meanwhile, has also enjoyed a long association with the fashion house, frequently modeling its designs before becoming a brand ambassador this January.
Both Kim and Salma were heaped with opprobrium last summer when Balenciaga was slammed for an ad campaign involving children.

Some pictures showed children holding teddy-bear-shaped purses that were dressed in what appeared to be bondage gear.
One of the snaps was of a bag on a desk strewn with papers – one of which was a United States Supreme Court ruling involving child pornography.
A particularly controversial photo showed a child lying down on a couch next to a coffee table with empty wineglasses and Stella Artois chalices.
Although Kim was not part of the campaign, her past association with the brand made her a lightning rod for the mounting backlash.
Under gathering pressure, she issued a statement denouncing the campaign, saying she was ‘disgusted’ and ‘outraged’ by the pictures.
‘I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with – & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children,’ the business mogul said, at the time.
Salma on the other hand kept silent, which made her a target of blowback given her husband’s position at the top of Balenciaga’s parent company.
