Kim Kardashian is openly admitting changing her style since she started dating Kanye West earlier this year, but she or her new stylist isn’t likely to win much praise for this unflattering outfit as she arrived at Los Angeles’s LAX airport.

Kim Kardashian, 31, wore a monochrome optical illusion dress, which failed to accentuate her figure’s attributes.

The shapeless dress swamped Kim Kardashian’s diminutive height and famous curves as she walked through the airport.

The reality star teamed the outfit with a pair of $1,695 black fold-over Givenchy boots, which she also owns in cream.

No doubt fans of Kim Kardashian will wonder if this outfit is suggestion by her rapper boyfriend, who was seen going through her wardrobe in a recent episode of the show.

Kim Kardashian claims she is now dressing more “sophisticated” after hiring a new stylist introduced to her by Kanye West.

She said last week: “So I introduced my stylist into the mix so we can kind of collaborate on a more sophisticated look on something that I felt kind of reflects my own personality and the changes that I’ve had in my life.”

Kim Kardashian admitted she didn’t throw out her old clothes, but simply put them in a guest room.

She explained: “In regards to all the clothes, I definitely kept all the stash to the side for a couple of months to make sure that I liked the new stylist that he introduced me to. I put all my stuff in a guest room of mine for two months and once I didn’t really feel the need to take anything – I liked evolving, I liked growing up a little bit.”

As she prepared to board a flight to New York on Tuesday, Kim Kardashian also took to her Twitter account to announce that she is embarking on a three-month-long trip.

She wrote: “Packing for 3 months is so hard! But I did it and I’m off!!! I’m gonna miss you LA.”

While Kim Kardashian was keen to give her fans a teaser as to what they can expect, she wasn’t about to spill the beans on her travel plans.

When asked by a fan where she was heading, the star kept coy and responded: “Can’t say yet but it will be revealed during our season finale. But were soooo excited!!!”

However, Kim Kardashian earlier had used the micro-blogging site to say she is making a brief return to New York and was wrapped up warm when she arrived at the airport this evening.

Kim Kardashian was seen sporting a mod style in a monochrome wool dress with a pair of knee-high slouchy black boots.

The curvy brunette may have been jet-setting in recent days but her mother has enjoyed spending some time in New York where the youngest members of the brood, Kendall and Kylie, have been walking in fashion shows.
