Kim Kardashian turned heads on Wednesday evening as she stepped out in Paris with her mum, Kris Jenner, amid her ongoing $10M jewellery heist trial.
The influencer, 44, who enjoyed a night out at the swanky Ferdi restaurant before returning to the five-star Ritz H๏τel, looked incredible as she put on a busty display in a black faux-fur top.
Kim teamed the chic ensemble with a dark grey textured, figure-hugging skirt that showcased her enviable hourglᴀss figure.
Draped over her shoulders was a large faux-fur coat, offering some protection from the chilly evening breeze as she left the restaurant.
She added inches to her frame with a pair of clear open-toe heels and styled her long dark tresses in a sleek, straight look.
Meanwhile, her mum Kris, 69, looked effortlessly chic in a black off-the-shoulder top featuring a ruffled neckline and short puffed sleeves.

The mother-of-six paired the top with stylish high-waisted tailored trousers and boosted her height with classic black court heels.
To elevate her look further, Kris accessorised with a stack of diamond bracelets, matching statement earrings, and a pair of trendy black sunglᴀsses.
She styled her short dark hair in a slicked-back look and wore a radiant makeup palette as she beamed for the cameras.
Kim and Kris’s outing in Paris comes just days after Kim was seen wearing a lavish diamond necklace and earrings as she prepared to testify at the trial of the gang accused of robbing her at gunpoint in her Paris H๏τel room in 2016.
The influencer was joined by her mother Kris as she made her way into the courtroom on Tuesday afternoon.
Kardashian – who was dressed in a black blazer, skirt and sunglᴀsses – waved at onlookers and press before pulling her mother aside for a brief chat.
It marks the first time Kardashian will confront the suspected ‘grandpa gang’ of Paris robbers who are accused of stealing jewellery worth millions of dollars from her.
In the aftermath, Kardashian was said to have vowed to stop showing off her jewels on social media.

For her court appearance, the reality star wore a $3 million necklace by Samer Halimeh New York, crafted in 18K white gold and featuring 80 diamonds, culminating in a 10.13-carat pear-shaped center stone.
She added a Sloan Pave diamond ear cuff worth $8,300 and a second Serti Sur Vide Earcuff by Repossi made up of 12 pear shaped diamonds for 4.55 carats.
Jeweller Zack Stone noted that Kim was sporting a diamond anklet that had been given to her by daughter North.
Stone told MailOnline: ‘Kim’s anklet looks like it could be the sentimental piece she received from North for Mother’s Day, featuring the birthstones of her four children.
‘Set with round-cut diamonds, it’s delicately accented with a single pearl, a pear-cut garnet, a pear-cut zircon, and an emerald-cut emerald. I’d estimate its value at around $8,000.
‘On her right hand, Kim is sporting a mᴀssive ring. While the exact cut is hard to confirm, the diamond appears to be at least 20 carats, set in a solitaire design that further emphasises its remarkable size.
‘Given these details, it’s safe to ᴀssume the ring carries a hefty price tag – my estimate would be around $3.5 million.’
Inside the courtroom, Kardashian broke down in tears as she shared her fears that she thought she would raped that evening.

She previously told David Letterman about the heist in a 2020 interview: ‘They kept on saying “the ring, the ring.”
‘I kept looking at the concierge,’ she continued, referring to the concierge of the exclusive H๏τel who had been forced at gunpoint to lead the gang to her apartment.
‘I was like, “Are we gonna die? Just tell them I have children, I have babies… I have to get home”.’
Yunice Abbas, 71, who is among the 10 suspects standing trial, many in their late 60s or 70s and dubbed ‘the grandpa gang,’ has told French media that he and others who took part in the robbery did not know who Kardashian was.
‘It’s not her, it’s her diamond we targeted,’ Abbas told C8 TV a few years ago. Abbas has admitted his participation in the robbery – writing a book about his role.
In interviews with French media, he said he was sorry for what he did and wanted to apologise to Kardashian.
There is no possibility of a guilty plea in such cases and Abbas is standing trial despite admitting to playing a role in the robbery.
Frank Berton, a lawyer representing 68-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, nicknamed ‘Omar the Old,’ said last month he hoped the fact that Kardashian is a global star won’t affect the trial.
Khedache is accused of being the gang’s ringleader, which he denies.
‘This trial attracts international attention because of who the plaintiff, the victim, is,’ Berton said.

Kardashian jetted into the French capital on Monday, sharing a picture of her view from the plane that she captioned simply with a French flag.
While it is not known what the SKIMS founder got up to the night before her day in court, her mother Jenner took to Instagram to reveal she had spent the evening at dinner with partner Corey Gamble and Michael Coste.
The suspects in the trial are accused of tying up billionaire Kardashian with zip ties and duct tape before making off with jewels, including a $4 million engagement ring given to her by her then-husband rapper Kanye West (now known as Ye), according to investigators.
Ahead of Kardashian’s testimony, her stylist Simone Harouche, who was asleep in the same luxury H๏τel flat at the time of the attack, spoke to the court on Tuesday morning.
‘We’ve been friends since we were little girls. So when I heard this sound, it was very different, and it woke me up, because it was a sound that I had never heard from Kim.

It was terror,’ Harouche, who was downstairs in the duplex flat, told the court.’I have babies, and I have to live’ – that’s what I heard her say,’ Harouche recalled, adding that she rushed to lock herself in the bathroom and texted Kardashian’s sister Kourtney and their bodyguard for help.
When the robbers left and Kardashian joined her downstairs, ‘she was beside herself, I’ve never seen her like that before,’ Harouche said.
‘She just was screaming and kept saying we need to get out of here, we need help, what are we going to do if they come back.’
Cameras are usually not allowed in courtrooms in France, and Kardashian’s testimony will not be broadcast live.
