Mum-of-four Kim poured herself into a nude and beige ‘birthday suit’ dress with a visible bodysuit worn over the sheer material.
The striking dress is from Diesel’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection and costs a whopping $2081 (around £1604).
One picture focussed on her cleavage, which was barely contained in the flimsy top and bodysuit combo.
Her cinched-in waist was emphasised by the figure-hugging sheer dress and natural colour.
She shared the nipple-flashing pictures on Instagram and wrote: “HB2 ME – love when my lifers surprise me w[ith] a cute dinner to celebrate.”
The icon accessorised the pricey dress with a huge silver diamond cross nestled in her ample cleavage.
The star could be seen draped over railings in front of a stunning sunset and showcasing her shapely derriere in the revealing outfit in different provocative poses.
Fans commented: “You age in reverse.” A second agreed: “That dress is wild, J’adore!” Another user wrote: “Simply gorgeous.”
Daughter North West bought her mum a toilet-themed gift to celebrate her day.
Her eldest daughter gave her a diamond necklace engraved with the phrase “Skibidi Toilet”.
“North got me this diamond necklace that says Skibidi Toilet. Wow,” Kim said with a laugh as she filmed the sparkling tennis necklace.
The piece included a plate with the inscription on the front, while the back was engraved with the words, “Love, North,” and the date, “10/21/24.”
North and her siblings, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, went all out to celebrate their mum’s special day.
Kim showed off white and pink balloons featuring her face, each with strings attached to personalised notes or photos from her children.

“Your strength and determination is second to none and the way you constantly fight for those who need your help and always give your energy and love to everyone around you.
“I’m so proud of you every single day… you are the most amazing mother, daughter, sister, auntie and friend. You are such a huge part of my heart, and I cherish every single precious memory we have ever made.
“You bring me such happiness and joy and I love you beyond any measure my beautiful daughter. I love you (heart emojis) Mommy.”

A new big money gameshow is set to be launched by Channel 4 later this month, offering up to £20k prize money every episode.

According to Channel 4, the new Channel 4.0 is “Channel 4’s newest, and youngest, brand”. It’s Digital-only and available on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
As part of the starting line up for Channel 4.0, £20k Play sees five friends split up to win up to £20,000 for their group by secretly answering questions away from the rest of the team.
They will each be asked eight brutal questions, getting them to dish the dirt on their pals as they’re quizzed things like “Who is the most two-faced?” to “Who is the biggest disappointment to their parents?”
Any wrong answers will deplete the prize money, so it’s down to each contestant to trust their gut and be as honest as possible.
The final twist in the game is for the friends to decide how much of the prize pot they each want to split.
However, if their total is more than the actual prize fund, they’ll go home with nothing.
The new gameshow host Harry Pinero said: “This show is a hilarious rollercoaster of friendship, honesty, and wild revelations. I can’t wait for viewers to see just how far contestants will go for a shot at £20,000 – and how much they really know about their so-called friends!”
The new digital series is commissioned for Channel 4.0 by Digital Commissioning Executive Kaio Grizzelle, and has been produced by Wall of Entertainment and directed by Chris Goodson.
Channel 4’s Kaio Grizzelle, Digital Commissioning Executive, said: “We’re thrilled to have £20k Play as the latest daring format on the channel.
“It has Channel 4.0’s unique flavour of mayhem mixed up with all the high stakes, humour and human drama of the gameshow greats.”
Tafara Makopa, executive producer and MD of Wall of Entertainment added: “Get ready for a wild ride where friendships are tested and secrets are spilt!
“This game is not just about winning £20,000; it’s about the hilarious and sometimes brutal truths that come out when friends face off!”
£20k Play is available from 22 October on Channel 4.0.

LOSING a loved one can be heartbreaking – and it’s especially tough if you long for a sign or message from them which doesn’t come.
But psychic medium Chloe Smith – whose celebrity clients include Sue Radford, Helen Skelton and Maura Higgins – says signs from beyond the grave can often be subtle and it’s about knowing when and how to spot them.
Chloe Smith answered why you may not be seeing a sign from a departed loved oneSupplied
“Understanding life after death is never easy,” Chloe explains.
“When we lose someone we love, we often find ourselves in a bubble of grief, and it becomes difficult to notice the subtle signs around us.
“Our minds naturally overthink, especially in moments of deep loss.
“But as hard as it is to accept, life follows a natural cycle: we are all born, we live, and eventually, we pass on.
Medium psychic Chloe Smith reveals the struggles she and Madeleine go thorough because of their abilitiesChloe Smith
“Many people question if it’s real or wonder why they aren’t receiving the same signs. The truth is, I don’t fully know why some people are more attuned to these signs than others. But I do know one thing: our connection to the other side is real.”
Here, Chloe reveals the four common signs which could mean your loved one is sending a signal and how to connect with someone you’ve lost.
Dreams
“Dreaming of a loved one is one of the easiest forms of communication,” explains Chloe.
“If you’ve ever had a vivid dream where you connected with someone who’s passed, you may wake up feeling overwhelmed or in tears, that’s perfectly normal.
“These are called visitations dreams and can make you feel a connection to your loved one like they never left, you can even experience the sensation of a hug!
“If you don’t dream of your past loved ones try not to worry, there is other ways they can communicate with you…
Touch
“Feeling a soft touch on your back or the sensation of a hug is also common,” continues Chloe.
“Like dreams, it’s one of the easiest way to get signs from your loved ones and can feel more ‘real’ as you are awake.
“Goosebumps are often a reminder that your loved one is with you, but even smelling a certain scent, a perfume your loved one would of worn, even a smell of smoke to confirm they are a smoker.”
Music
Have you ever heard a song that seems to play at just the right moment? Chloe says this isn’t always a coincidence.
“People will receive a sign when the time is right, usually when they need it most,” Chloe explains.
“When you’re having a difficult day and suddenly a song that reminds you of your loved one comes on the radio or pops into your head – that’s a sign.”
“It’s a reminder of how they will always be with you.”
Birds and Nature
“The old saying ‘A robin appears when a loved one is near’ is so true! Pay attention to the natural world around you,” says Chloe.
“Patterns in clouds are a sign, you will look up and see a shape of a baby, or pet! A sign they are with you.
“Owls also have a spiritual symbol, noticing a owl is a reminded or wisdom and guidance is needed.
“Rainbows too are again a sign from a loved one, but when you notice them during times of distress – they show you, you’re not alone.”
Why Am I Not Receiving Signs?
If you’re wondering why you’re not seeing signs from lost loved ones it could be down to your interpretation.
“It’s easy to overthink things, especially when you’re grieving,” Chloe explains.
“For example, if you see a feather on the floor, do you think it’s just a bird’s feather or a sign from your angels?
“Your loved ones want you to know they haven’t left you.
“They want you to find comfort and strength in the fact that you are still connected through an undying bond of love.
“To notice their signs, you need to tune in beyond the noise and distractions of daily life. It’s hard, I know – life is busy, loud, and full of things that take our attention away.
“But if you sit quietly, free from distractions, and settle your mind, you’ll start to notice.
“What do you hear? What do you feel? It’s almost like a form of meditation, and it’s powerful.”
How to tune into signs
Here are psychic medium Chloe Smith's top tips to help you tune in and recognise the signs around you...
Tip 1: Just Ask!
Sounds simple, right? But it works! Just ask.
Close your eyes, get quiet, and ask out loud or in your mind for a sign from your loved ones or your guides.
Make it specific – it’ll be harder to miss!
Tip 2: Be Present.
Let go of distractions. Take a deep breath and come into the present moment. Listen, look, and feel without overthinking.
The signs are there if you open yourself to them.
Tip 3: Go for a Walk.
Instead of being stuck in your own head, go outside. Feel the wind, the sun, the earth. Start to embrace life again.
When you’re connected to nature, it’s easier to receive messages from the other side.
Tools for connection
“If you’re still unsure about the signs, a reading with a medium can help. I always recommend letting the medium do the talking first, without giving too much away,” explains Chloe.
“A reading can offer love, guidance, and reassurance that life after death is real. It often heightens your awareness of the signs around you, which is truly magical.

FROM screentime battles to monitoring social media, navigating parenting in the modern world can be difficult.
Safeguarding experts have shared the top tips for ensuring your child’s safety while online.

GettyParents should check in-app settings as well as device settings to protect their children online (stock image)[/caption]
Smartphones are a common place item in today’s society, with most adults and majority of teens owning one.
However, the rise in poularity of social media and the increased access to technology has left parents tackling new issues.
One such issue is how to ensure online safety for the younger generation.
Ofcom research found that by the age of 17, 100% of young people in Britain own a smartphone.
The Government’s Online Safety Data Iniative found that more than 80% of children aged 12-15 have had potentially harmful experiences online.
This can include anything from bullying on social media to grooming and exploitation.
A computer student in Northern Ireland was recently found to have tricked around 70 children into sending him initimate photos, which he then used to exploit them.
Safeguarding experts from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children shared their expertise on how to protect your child online.
First, they recommend chatting to your child about their online habits, including the sites they like to visit and their favourite apps.
“Listen to what they have to say and show an interest. They could give you a demo of their favourite app or show you their favourite YouTube or TikTok account,” the expert said.
The safeguarding pros pointed out that your children likely have additional information to teach you about the online world.
“This will also give you an opportunity to chat about any safety settings they might already have in place,” they explained.
According to the experts, it’s vital for parents to speak to their children about who they are chatting to online.
While most parents know to monitor social media and messaging apps, some may not be aware of the potential dangers of gaming apps.
Online chatrooms are available in most games and can provide easy access for predators, as often messaging is open to all users.
NSPCC's online safety support
The safeguarding experts explained that parents don’t need to be online experts.
They have provided resources and advice to help support parents and children navigating the online world.
If your child asks you a question you don’t know the answer to, or speaks to you about a negative experience they had online, here are some of things you could do:
Call the NSPCC helpline 0808 800 5000 to speak to an advisor.
Ask another parent.
Speak to your child’s teacher.
If your child needs more support, they can contact Childline: childline.org.uk.
As well as talking to your child about these dangers, the experts recommend using settings to help limit who can contact them.
“Remind your child that they shouldn’t share personal information with people they don’t know online,” they advised.
They also emphasised the importance of creating open communication with your child, letting them know they can approach you or another trusted adult with anything uncomfortable.
Parents can also help manage what their child sees online using parental controls and privacy settings.
According to the experts, you should revise your child’s automatic device settings, inlcuding location sharing, screen time and in-app purchases.
PRIVACY
“Most tech and gaming companies have dedicated pages to support with setting these up,” they said.
As well as managing your child’s devices, parents should also look into individual apps or games.
“[There are] in-app tools that can help to keep your child’s account private and manage who they’re talking to,” the safeguarding experts explained.
“You can normally find information on these in account settings or directly on the platform’s website.”
Parents can also contact their mobile or broadband providers for help managing browsing access.
This helps to stop your child from visiting inappropriate sites or downloading apps that aren’t suitable.

HOME Secretary Yvette Cooper will today kick-start a review into the prosecution of cops after a firearms officer was cleared of murdering Chris Kaba.
The Cabinet Minister is reviving a probe which will weigh up whether armed officers have the right protections under the law – especially when making “split second decisions”.
RexHome Secretary Yvette Cooper will today kick-start a review into the prosecution of cops[/caption]
PAMartyn Blake was acquitted of the murder of Chris Kaba this week[/caption]
Ms Cooper will update MPs on the work first started under the Tory administration which could cut down on the amount of time investigating complaints against officers.
The statement to the Commons was confirmed by Sir Keir Starmer as he travelled to Samoa to meet Commonwealth leaders.
A proposal being considered included raising the threshold for sending cases to prosecutors which could lead to a possible court action.
Cop Martyn Blake who fatally shot Kaba is likely to face gross misconduct charges even though he was cleared of murder this week.
A jury took less than three hours to acquit Blake over the shooting after saying he feared the 24-year-old would use his Audi car to kill officers during the incident in September 2022.
The Prime Minister said it was essential that the legal rights in place allow the public to have confidence in police forces especially those impacted by police actions.
Sir Keir said: “I do think it’s a serious point on the accountability review that the last government started but didn’t finish.
“We are going to pick that up and complete that accountability review because it is important that the public have confidence in the police including of course the armed police.
“But it’s also important that the police know that we have confidence in them doing a very difficult job so we will pick that up.”
The PM added that he understood the pressures of firearms cops from his time as a prosecutor especially the four years he spent in Northern Ireland.
Sir Keir added: “I do understand the pressure that firearms officers operate under having to make split second decisions in difficult, fast-moving circumstances.
“I obviously saw that for myself when I was prosecuting. I obviously saw it for myself literally in Northern Ireland when I was working there for four years.
“I was in the control room on a number of occasions when those decisions were being made by the senior command, to pass the decision down to the officer on the ground and saw for myself just how difficult that is.
“In this particular case, I’m not going to comment on the CPS decision.
Ex-Home Secretary Suella Braverman launched the review last September after a revolt within Scotland Yard ranks following the murder charge.
The Ministry of Defence called upon soldiers for backup support after armed cops turned in their permits as part of a protest.
In an update to MPs back in March, then Home Secretary James Cleverly said many cops didn’t feel they were being treated fairly under the current system.
Mr Cleverly said: This is having a detrimental impact on morale and the willingness of officers to volunteer to take on the role of firearms officers. This is impacting police capability to do their job and protect the public. “

Milkins’ last event had been at the Wuhan Open in China, where he squandered a 4-1 lead to lose 5-4 to Zak Surety.
In Belfast, the Milkman took on Northern Irish hopeful Jordan Brown in round one.
Leading 2-0, he looked to pot the blue for a commanding three-frame lead.
He initially appeared to have botched the shot, with the blue cannoning back off the bumpers.
Disappointed, Milkins didn’t even bother to see where the blue would land, immediately heading back to his chair.
Turning round as he sat down, his face was a picture of shock as he saw the blue fall into the middle pocket.
Looking slightly embarrassed, Milkins raised a hand of apology to his opponent for his flukey shot.
As it happened, Milkins three-frame lead went on to be crucial.

The age-defying Colombian pop superstar, 47, showcases her famous hips in bondage-style lingerie as she’s propped up by two men in boxer shorts.

While her cover image sees the music icon wearing her hair in a big ponytail and her boobs are covered by the smallest slithers of black material
Shakira opens up about her new album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran [Women no Longer Cry], which documents her split from famous footballer Gerard Piqué.
She tells GQ Spain: “It wasn’t easy to recognise all the vulnerability I was feeling at the time I wrote this album, and then to lay it bare.
“For many months after my separation I had been silent, trying to begin my mourning, but I couldn’t really begin to grieve until I started writing music. It was my way of healing. And it continues to be. Grief is a process that is not linear. It is full of peaks and valleys.”
The former couple, who have two children, went their separate ways in the summer of 2022 amid allegations Piqué cheated on her with his current girlfriend Clara Chia Marti, 25.
Shakira has even likened her ex to Harry Potter supervillain Lord Voldemort and previously claimed she sacrificed her career for their relationship.
She told Jimmy Fallon earlier this year: “Now I’m husbandless. Yeah, the husband was dragging me down. Now I’m free. Now I can actually work.”
And the fallout continues to rumble on. Just yesterday former Barcelona ace Piqué called out Shakira’s version of events.
The 37-year-old told CNN: “‘In the end, the truth or what happens or occurs is not told in the way it was. I cannot control this.
“The best thing is that in the end I am surrounded by my loved ones, my family, my friends, the people who really know you. They know what you are like and what you do, and that gives me a lot of peace of mind.
“I am very happy, I have a great time and I feel privileged. The life I have had, being able to play for the club of my life for more than twenty years, wonderful children, an incredible family, lifelong friends, those from school that I still have.”
While a messy personal life might be the backdrop to Shakira’s tour, it won’t be a sombre, reserved affair, with Shakira confidently calling it her best production to date.
“It is the most ambitious tour of my entire career,” she said. “The biggest production I have had so far. Not because the public asks for it, but because I deserve it after so many years working in this world.
“I deserve the tour of my life. I am throwing the house out the window. I am happy because I will be able to go through the different stages of my artistic life, up to today.
“It will be the longest show I have done with the biggest screen and everything as big as you can imagine. More is more and better!”
