Kim Kardashian turns up the heat in a skimpy black bikini and teases about joining Love Island: 'A bombshell just entered the villa'

Kim Kardashian sent temperatures soaring with her latest bikini shots from Italy

The SKIMS founder, 43, sizzled in a skimpy black two-piece, with a sheer sparkling black cover-up, in a series on photos posted to her Instagram on Wednesday. 

She also playfully hinted that she's ready to appear on reality TV dating show, Love Island, captioning the post: 'A bombshell just entered the villa.'

A bombshell is a contestant who enters the Love Island villa later in the game, as opposed to being part of the original cast. In order to stay on, they usually have to seduce someone away from their partner. 

The mom-of-four — who recently embraced 'Italian widow-core' during her European vacation — completed the look with a pair of strappy heels and wore her raven tresses in bouncy locks.

Her glam looked picture perfect with bronze eyeshadow and nude lipstick complementing her sun-kissed glow. 

Kanye West's ex-wife struck a pose against a rustic brick wall adorned with vibrant flower beds. 

Later, she reclined on a lounge chair, striking a series of sultry poses. 

The day prior she also shared a trio of black-and-white shots in the outfit, captioned, 'late nite in Italy.'

She ignited speculation among her 361M fans and followers, as the images showed her hugging a man, with one questioning, 'WHO IS THIS MAN' while another added, 'kim you did not just soft launch a man, love you for this.'

However the person in question was her longtime hairstylist and friend Chris Appleton, 41.

The two posed next to an old-fashioned jukebox, with a female gal pal standing on the other side.

Kim has been enjoying her vacation in Europe, and earlier this week she and her sister Khloe Kardashian, 40, attended Andrea Bocelli's 30th Anniversary concert at Teatro del Silenzio in Tuscany.

Kim looked like an Italian movie star in a plunging black Gucci logo dress with a matching scarf from the brand worn over her hair.

She showcased her hourglass in the skintight number.

The sisters were seen standing near the stage, greeting the world-renowned tenor.

Both Kim and Khloe received sunflower bouquets of flowers at the event. 

Andrea famously sang Con te Partire live at Kim's 2014 wedding to Kanye in Italy.

He also performed at her sister Kourtney Kardashian's nuptials to Travis Barker in 2022 - also in Italy.

Earlier this month, Kim and Khloe also traveled to India for the splashy wedding of Anant Ambani, the son of India's wealthiest man, and Radhika Merchant, the daughter of a wealthy pharmaceutical mogul.

They both wore a number of traditional outfits that showcased their famous figures. One of Kim's outfits was a beautiful ruby red look that consisted of a lehenga with tassels on the bottom and a long skirt to which she added a sash.

Khloe was just as gorgeous in a white and gold shimmering dress that included a top that flashed her tummy, a long skirt and a sash.

However, a number of fans pointed out Kim's fashion faux pas, calling her out for wearing red and trying to upstage the bride not once but twice as a wedding guest at the newlyweds' lavish and star-studded three-day wedding ceremony in Mumbai.

'Not supposed to wear red to a wedding in India. That's saved for the bride,' one Instagram user penned in her comments section.

As fans called out her fashion faux pas, it appeared the Ambanis did not mind as Kim was spotted enjoying a friendly exchange with the bride and groom and their family.
