Kim Kardashian showcased her famous hourglass curves on Thursday as she arrived in Venice for the 82nd International Film Festival in a typically racy look.

The Skims founder, 44, slipped into a black halterneck dress that clung to every inch of incredible figure with a small cutout displaying a glimpse of her toned midriff. 

The stylish number boasted a hooded detail and a completely backless design, causing Kim to flash some major side boobs as she arrived at the city airport.

The reality star hid her face behind a pair of oversized shades and strutted down the dock in a pair of pointed high heels.

Receiving a helping hand to climb into a waiting water taxi, Kim sipped on a can of energy drink and waved to the paparazzi as she was whisked away. 

Her solo arrival comes after making a slew of mother-daughter appearances with her eldest child North West as the duo enjoyed an Italian getaway together. 

Earlier this week the pair were spotted in Rome as the superstar offspring gave her fashionista mum a run for her money in her look complete with a denim jacket and skirt with chunky boots. 

Proving herself to be a true designer darling, the 12-year-old accessorised with a blingy Vivienne Westwood necklace and a Balenciaga handbag - which retails for an eye-popping $7000 (£5200). 

She also sported eye-catching bright blue hair slicked into long pigtails - possibly inspired by her auntie Kylie Jenner's iconic turquoise tresses. 

Over the weekend, they were also pictured dining at the iconic Pierluigi Restaurant in the eternal city.

Kim and North continued their Italian vacation with a trip to visit the Colosseum in Rome, with a tour of the ruins of the iconic structure.

However, snaps of the budding rapper - whom Kim shares with her ex-husband, Kanye West — sparked giggles from fans, with the youngster looking distinctly unimpressed by the famous landmark and more interested in her phone.

Following their trip to the Colosseum, the fashionable mother and daughter were spotted having a bite to eat and then doing some high-end shopping.

Kim appeared ever the doting mother as she held hands with North throughout their outing, with the duo later seen checking out of Rome's luxurious Hotel Eden.

Continuing to make their way around Italy, the pair were seen later seen shopping at Diesel in Milan on Wednesday.

Notably, they didn't appear to be trailed by a camera crew, suggesting that their holiday won't become fodder for the next season of The Kardashians.

And while she didn't appear to have brought along North's siblings, son Saint, nine; daughter Chicago, seven; and son Psalm, six, Kim shared a slew of snaps of her whisking her younger kids off to Mexico last week.

The reality star took to her Instagram on Sunday with snaps of the trip after allegedly flying the youngsters on a private jet, which had been renamed 'Kim Air', earlier this month. 

Kim later served her guests luxurious snacks and mocktails before it was time to hit the sun-soaked beach. 

Eldest son Saint, who sported striking pink hair, was surprised even further onboard the jet by his pal Joshua, son of the Skims founder's friend Charlotte Adams, who was revealed to be joining them on the trip. 

While her sister Khloé's children True, seven, and three-year-old Tatum also enjoyed the getaway, as they hit the arcades and enjoyed camel rides before racing down water slides.

Kim also shared a glimpse of her guest's very swanky accommodation on the beach, which boasted incredible views.

She captioned the post 'Cabo forever!' as famous faces including Paris Hilton were quick to gush over the snaps.

Meanwhile pal Charlotte said: 'To the most amazing surprise trip for our children … reunited after 7 long months.

'We pulled it off!!! We had the best time and made so many amazing memories. we love you guys.'
