Kim Kardashian is giving us all a lesson in how to commit to tonal fashion this week by rocking an all-orange look.
On Sunday, the 39-year-old shared a series of photographs of herself in a dark orange wig, a Rick Owens one-shouldered crop top and a pair of leather Helmut Lang trousers.
The mother-of-four teamed the look with a pair of pointed, snake-print cream-hued heels, a pair of black sunglasses and orange-toned make-up.

The beauty mogul’s look was reminiscent of the 1997 Luc Besson sci-fi film, The Fifth Element, starring Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman and Milla Jovovich.
In the film, Jovovich sports a bright orange cropped hair do and Jean Paul Gaultier costumes, ranging from the famous white bandage dress to her character’s orange rubber vest.
Kardashian’s orange look came hours after she shared a series of photos of herself wearing an all-red outfit at her sister Khloé’s 36th birthday last weekend.

In the snaps, the reality star – whose husband Kanye West recently announced he wanted to run for the 2020 presidential election – wore a red button-up shirt, red trousers covered in a bandana print, a matching printed bag and a pair of silver high heels.
In one photograph, the star poses with her eldest son, Saint, in front of a balloon display, while another sees the pair playing on the ground together.
The KKW Beauty founder captioned the images with an apt red heart emojis.
Showing off her red-coloured look before the party, Kardashian shared a video of herself in the car with her daughter North in which she wears her red-dyed hair in a high ponytail.
Kardashian previously said that she was considering going blonde, like her youngest sister Kylie Jenner, after social distancing measures lifted in California, but later decided to go for the bold red look.
'You guys I dyed my hair red. Do you love it?' she said on Monday in her Instagram Story. However, she failed to clarify whether the hair colour change is thanks to a wig or 'real' dye job on her own tresses.
12 Of The Best Orange Lipsticks That Look Seriously Hot On Everyone
Bobbi Brown Lip Colour in Sunset Orange
Burnt orange with a subtle touch of rose, this super-silky, ultra-nourishing lipstick dials down the dull green undertones in olive skin. If you want even longer lasting colour, pick up the Art Stick in the same shade.
Chantecaille Lip Chic in Mandarin
This blazing orange shade looks absolutely stunning against warm skin tones. One slick drenches lips in a rich, mouthwatering sheen, and when that fades, the tint clings on for hours.
Estée Lauder Pure Colour Love Lipstick in Hot Rumour
This punchy orange shade errs on the red side and works wonders to perk up olive skin, from light to dark. Moisturising, pigment rich and completely budge-proof, it's guaranteed to blow your current lipstick collection out of the water.
Illamasqua Lipstick in Flare
Not one for the fainthearted, the hydrating and smoothing emollients in this bold orange lipstick fuse with the intense pigment, so vibrant colour and moisture stay locked in for longer.
Lipstick Queen Jungle Queen Lipstick
It may look completely neon, but on application, the nervy orange tones give way to a flattering russet shade that complements olive skin so well. The balmy gleam it leaves behind makes lips look plump and pillowy.
MAC Lipstick in Morange
Luxuriously creamy and impressively pigmented, this cult classic lends lips a coral-orange tint that somehow makes them appear extravagantly full. A single swipe detracts from yellow tones in olive skin. No wonder it's a staple inside every make-up artist's kit.
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipstick in Electric Orange
Don't let the bargain price-tag fool you, because this lush orange shade is both fiery and chic in equal measure. Somehow, it seems to get brighter every time you rub your lips together, which means it lasts until you see fit to take it off.
NARS Semi Matte Lipstick in Heatwave
The combination of zesty orange and pillar-box red in NARS' Insta-famous lipstick looks beaut against warm skin. The lip benefits are on par with the colour pay off, as it's filled to bursting with conditioners for ultimate hydration and antioxidants to protect against environmental aggressors.
Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in In Love With Ginger
Miles ahead of those that are triple the cost, this summery red-orange lipstick blankets lips in vivid colour without drying or sliding off. Those with light olive skin should stockpile it fast.
Sisley Paris Hydrating Long Lasting Lipstick in Tangerine
So creamy, this russet orange shade lasts way past lunchtime. Crammed with pigment, there's no need for a lip liner - simply sweep on and go.
Tom Ford Lips & Boys Lip Color in Rafael
Tom Ford's Rafael is the most eye-popping blood orange shade. Not too zingy, it has the ability to breathe warmth into olive skin while the subtle iridescence creates the illusion of voluptuous lips.
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Mats Lipstick in Orange Seventies
Orange Seventies occupies a cosy space between apricot and red, making it the perfect colour for those with light olive tones. It's matte, but the formula glides on to lips without accentuating dry patches. Apply two sweeps to dial up the intensity.
Her hairstylist Chris Appleton later told PEOPLE that his client isn't afraid of changing up her look.
'Kim is a trendsetter and not afraid of doing something new,' he told the publication. We have done the blonde and the pink before and red was unexpected. I love that about Kim.'
