She is known to often flaunt her curves in an array of short skirts and skintight attire.
But Kim Kardashian respected the Islamic custom for women to cover-up in public as she arrived in Dubai today.
The 30-year-old reality star dressed conservatively in a modest pair of black trousers and a sleeveless white blouse.
Modest: Kim Kardashian respected Islamic culture and covered up her curves as she jetted into Dubai today
She was spotted entering the luxury Atlantis Palms Hotel after flying in from New York.
The brunette paired the look with a large belt, a black Hermes bag and some leopard print heels, which were far less lower than her usual six-inch stilettos.
Kim was accompanied by her 55-year-old mother Kris Jenner, who also covered-up in a printed maxi-dress, which she too paired with Hermes accessories.
The mother of the famous clan had flown in on a separate plane.

The duo hardly looked tired from the long 12-hour flight, both with their hair and make-up coiffed to perfection.
Kim tweeted her excitement upon arriving in the United Arab Emirates country.
'Just touched down in Dubai! I’m so happy to be here!' she wrote on Wednesday morning.
Earlier she compared the scene of her flight to the one of Carrie & Co's in the film Sex And The City 2.

After checking out her luxury suite at the five-star hotel, which came at the reality star's request, Kim clearly couldn't contain her excitement.
'Wow I’m in such awe over Dubai! My hotel is so, insane, can’t wait to do some blogs & show u guys! Too much to tweet! I’m obsessed with Dubai!,' she tweeted.

According to gulfnews.com, the reality star has a day of relaxation ahead of a busy four-day schedule.
It is reported that Kim will unwind at the hotel spa before having lunch at a VIP cabana at Mediterranean and Asian restaurant, Nasimi.
She will then spend the rest of the day at Dolphin Bay, one of the hotel's best features, where she will of course have the opportunity to swim with the dolphins.

While Kim has already respected the ritual of covering up her curves upon her arrival, it seems she will also have a chance to go the whole hog when it comes to embracing the country's culture.
While the Islamic dress code is not compulsory, Kim and her mother have been gifted with two abayas, the traditional Islamic robe-like cloaks.
Emirati designer Hend Al Mutaw has spent a month especially designing the custom-made attire for the two Kardashian women.
'I've been working on this for about a month ever since I heard she was coming,' Al Mutaw told Gulfnews.com.
'I wanted to change perceptions about wearing an abaya and wanted to show to her and her fans that you can still be elegant when wearing it.
'As a fan of her and her show, I know her style and the kind of things she likes to wear. I hope she will wear it while she is here.'
Perking up: Her frown was soon turned upside down as she let out a little smile
According to the website, there are rumours that approximately 50 local businesses are already showering Kim with gifts in an effort to win the interest of the business mogul.
Kim is said to have a hefty schedule for her Middle Eastern trip.
After her relaxing day at the Atlantis today, she will meet with fans and press at an official press conference tomorrow.
On Friday, Kim will reveal her signature milkshake at the grand opening of the new Millions Of Milkshakes store at The Dubai Mall.
And the reality star better have room for dinner; as a gala at At.mosphere restaurant will be thrown in her honour.
The eatery is the Guinness Book Of World Record's holder for the 'Highest Restaurant From Ground Level'in the world.

Kim will also be signing bottles of her own perfume at the Sephora in the Dubai Mall.
Sunday more indulging is on the cards for the pair as another meal has been arranged in Kim's honour by Emirates Hospitality at the Al Han Restaurant in Abu Dhabi.
