After posing nude for a magazine cover recently, reality TV star Kim Kardashian has struck a pose in a pair of hot pants and a crop top for another publication.

Kardashian created an internet havoc with her naked Paper magazine cover last week. But for Elle magazine's self-belief January issue, which focuses on body confidence, she has chosen a more conservative, yet saucy look, reports mirror.co.uk.

The `Keeping up with the Kardashians` star is seen flaunting a striped t-shirt and skimpy pants. Giving a glimpse of her toned legs, the star looks effortlessly glamorous in the black and white photograph, with her hair blown back and minimal make-up on.

On the cover page, she is looking down at her hand and pouting slightly, with her tiny waist on display in the crop top.

There are three separate covers set for release, with the star wearing designers including Balmain, Burberry and Balenciaga.
