**File PhotosReality TV star Kim Kardashian has finally reached a divorce agreement with estranged husband Kris Humphries to officially end their 72-day marriage. The socialite, who is pregnant with her rapper boyfriend Kanye West's baby, has been locked in a bitter legal wrangle with Humphries ever since she filed to end their shortlived marriage in October, 2011, with the basketball player alleging she used their televised nuptials to boost ratings and her earnings. Kardashian denied the claims. The case was due to head to trial on 6 May (13), but the former lovers have managed to avoid a court showdown and have reached an out-of-court settlement. The deal was confirmed by a judge in Los Angeles on Friday (19Apr13), one week after the Brooklyn Nets player made headlines for skipping a mandatory divorce hearing, according to Entertainment Tonight. Details of the agreement have yet to be released.

Kim Kardashian broke out her signature bold style for a momentous occasion this week.

Last night, the media mogul was honored as a WSJ 2021 Innovator of the Year for her Skims label at the WSJ. Magazine’s Innovator Awards in New York. Awarded alongside Fendi Creative Director Kim Jones, Kim accepted her award in statement style.

She arrived at the event on Monday wearing a chocolate brown leather dress complete with a sleeveless fit and slit skirt. The open hem of the design revealed a logo-coated interior lining, unveiling that the design is in fact a new piece from her upcoming Fendi x Skims collaboration. Kim’s look came complete with matching gloves too as she continues to tease the soon-to-release collab.

When it came to footwear, the media mogul decided to incorporate a touch of pattern with her choice of boots. The almond-toe silhouette featured a snakeskin leather coating atop a knee-high shaft and a wooden heel that appeared to measure close to 4 inches in height.

When it comes to her personal style, Kim’s outfit yesterday is just one of many wild combinations in the reality TV personality‘s closet. Despite the recent news of their filing for divorce, Kim still favors Kanye West’s Yeezy collections for footwear and apparel as well, in addition to sneakers and boots from his Adidas Yeezy line. She styles the pieces with coordinating looks from every hit brand you can think of — the list usually includes Balmain, Balenciaga, Amina Muaddi, Maison Margiela and Bottega Veneta.

In addition to stylish looks on and off the set of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” Kim also dipped her toes into the fashion and beauty world with a mix of ventures. She created her Skims shapewear line in 2019, featuring a mix of inclusive designs and now affordable face masks too. Additionally, the reality television personality also founded her own makeup line, KKW Beauty, in the fall of 2019.
