She’s bearing it all.

Korean actress Kahyun Kim hit the Cocaine Bear red carpet premiere in LA this week in extremely on-theme nipple pasties featuring glittering bear faces.

“I wanted my look to represent who I am and how crazy our movie is! Fun, a little psychotic but most definitely HOT!” Kim told Page Six Style.

She opted for a sheer convertible chainmail style ($US3450) from celeb-loved designer Natalia Fedner that can be worn as either a dress or a skirt.

The American Gods actress — who posted a series of Instagram photos of her skimpy premiere style — styled the metal mesh number with a faux fur jacket, black underwear and red thigh-high boots.

As for those custom pasties? “We made sure the bear was CUTE but also F***ED UP!” Kim says.

In a show of total commitment to her movie’s premise, she even attached a small baggie filled with white powder to her braid.

Kim worked with stylist Lisa N. Hoang, who called the playful outfit “the most fun I’ve had on a look,” noting that both the jacket and the drugs were “faux.”

She also went bold with metallic oil-slick nails courtesy of Los Angeles nail artist Saline Néou and crystals around her eyes.

Kim’s followers thoroughly approved of the pictures she shared, with comedian Hank Chen quipping, “yeah bear t**ties!!” and hairstylist Rachel Lita calling her “an icon.”

Star Keri Russell and director Elizabeth Banks also attended the premiere, though in less literal outfits, wearing a black slip dress with a tuxedo jacket and a gold sequined gown, respectively.

The upcoming film is loosely based on a true story about a black bear’s drug-fuelled rampage through a Georgia forest in 1985.

The dark comedy hits Australian cinemas on February 23.
