The evolution of Kim Kardashian’s butt

KIM Kardashian’s backside is undoubtedly her most famous asset. We take a look at how those iconic cheeks have changed.

FEW body parts are more recognisable — or indeed more controversial — than Kim Kardashian’s backside.

Over the past decade we have watched Kim’s bottom blossom as her celebrity grows.

Many have speculated if those iconic cheeks are natural or whether they have been boosted by with implants.

Cosmetic surgery rumours were reignited in the most dramatic way this week when undoctored images of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star’s behind were published online.

The unairbrushed images showed the 36-year-old wearing a barely-there black G-string and tank top, her cellulite and bumps visible in all their natural glory.

This was part of yet again, another staged paparazzi vacation photoshoot designed to prove to everyone how much weight Kim had lost after giving birth to her son, Saint, in 2015.

That’s her assistant Stephanie Shepphard in the foreground dutifully taking snaps for Kim’s social media accounts, like a true friend.
