Kim Kardashian's tiny waist sparks fresh surgery speculation after years of rampant denial from reality star
Kim Kardashian put her impossibly tiny waist on display again in another eye-catching look. The mom of four sparked fresh surgery speculation after years of denial while arriving back to Los Angeles wearing an ab-baring look. Kim's waist was on full display Wednesday, with the star rocking a cropped black halter top with matching leggings. Kim, 44, was in Los Cabos with daughter North to ring in the tween's birthday, bringing along her niece Penelope Disick for the festivities. Her sighting comes seven years after the star bragged about her waist measuring 24 inches and her hips measuring 39 inches - and three years after she revealed she lost 21 pounds to fit in Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress for the Met Gala. She chose skintight bottoms paired with stiletto heels, adding the tiny backless top that showcased her toned abs. The star loosely wore a jacket slung low over her shoulders, adding sunglasses to round out her summer look. Kim wore the look for the plane ride from Los Cabos to Los Angeles, which she did via her private jet. in 2018, Kim bragged about getting her waist down to 24 inches, and her hips to 39 - all thanks to her trainer at the time, Melissa Alcantara, via Elle magazine. In 2017, Kim told mom Kris Jenner about her diet plans and working with Melissa: 'I'm going to start a really crazy diet. I was looking on Instagram and this body builder popped up on my page and she gained 70 pounds in her pregnancy. Her kid's like 6 now. She is like ripped,' the star said on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, per the outlet. 'Melissa is a trainer I found. She's super inspiring to me and I really want to meet up with her and see if she could train me. She could help direct my food and really get me on an amazing path.' 'If I was 10 percent her it would be life-changing. Like my whole arms and back. It's mostly food. I gotta have this lifestyle. I gotta try,' she said at the time. Kim seen in a recent post (left), in 2022 (center) and in 2018 (right) - clearly showing her waist getting tinier and tinier In 2022, Kim revealed she has lost 21 pounds after overhauling her lifestyle to fit into Marilyn Monroe's dress for the Met Gala. During an appearance on the Today show, Kim was asked how she lost the weight. She had previously revealed she lost 16 pounds in three weeks by cutting out carbs and sugar in order to fit into the iconic dress - something which was heavily criticized for the message it sent. 'Yeah you know I looked at it like a role. I really wanted to wear this dress. It was really important to me. It actually taught me a lot about my lifestyle and my health and since then, afterwards, I continued to eat really healthy. I am down 21 pounds now. I'm not trying to lose any more weight but I have more energy than ever. I cut out so much sugar. A lot of junk food I was eating. I didn't even realize it. A lot of fried foods. And I completely changed my lifestyle,' Kim revealed.

How to Throw a Perfect Bachelorette Party in Cabo
At the southernmost tip of Baja California Sur is Los Cabos, one of the most legendary beach destinations in Mexico—and maybe even the world. Though just a nonstop flight away from major US cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, and even New York, Los Cabos feels like a world away. Comprised of two main towns, the party-heavy Cabo San Lucas and the more refined San José del Cabo, its vast desert landscape is framed by the towering Sierra de la Laguna mountain range and studded with massive cacti and palms that lead to rolling dunes lining the Pacific Ocean. While the area has long been an oasis for adventure travelers seeking outdoor thrills (like ATV tours, water sports, and parasailing), the area is equally as beloved as a reveler's paradise. For all of these reasons combined, there's possibly no better destination for a bachelorette party, as Los Cabos offers a rare blend of barefoot luxury and after-dark excess. Here, bachelorette festivities can begin with poolside green juice at luxury hotels like One&Only Palmilla or The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, and end with mezcal cocktails and dancing beneath the stars at desert nightlife venues like Crania. Getty Images Whether your crew is craving pure relaxation or a dance-until-you-forget-your-name kind of weekend (or both—we don't judge!), this corner of Baja delivers. And if you're looking to scope out everything from the best design-forward hotels and day spas with cold plunge rituals to private yacht rentals that'll take you whale watching near the iconic Los Arcos rock formations, welcome. This is your definitive guide to planning a bachelorette in Cabo that's anything but cliché. FAQ: How should my group plan to get around in Cabo? AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron The most convenient option for bachelorette groups is to book private transportation or a ride-sharing service. Most hotels can arrange private cars for groups, and numerous car rental companies and ride-sharing services, such as Uber, are readily available. How many days should I stay in Cabo for a bachelorette trip? AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron A four-day trip is ideal for most bachelorette groups, providing enough time to enjoy beach activities, nightlife, and relaxation without feeling rushed. This length also keeps costs manageable while allowing for a mix of planned activities and spontaneous fun. What is the best time of year to go to Cabo for a bachelorette trip? AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron November through April is typically the best time of year to visit Cabo. This is when you'll find the best weather conditions, with warm, dry days and brisk nights—perfect for groups who want to enjoy the beach and nightlife. I'd also try to avoid hurricane season from June through October, and spring break crowds from March through April. Courtesy Pujol Where to eat Cabo has cemented itself as one of Mexico's most dynamic culinary destinations—and for good reason. The restaurants here are as aesthetically pleasing as they are inventive with dishes. Each outpost is designed to immerse you fully, whether you're sipping cocktails in a palm grove or hand-pressing tortillas on a farm. I recommend beginning at Flora Farms, an open-air restaurant set on 25 lush acres of sprawling desert. The grounds include a working organic farm with a restaurant at its heart, where mango trees frame your table, live music is always drifting through the air, and dishes are plated with herbs freshly snipped from the garden. Brunch here is practically a rite of passage. Nearby is Tamarindos, an outdoor restaurant set within a historic estate outside San José del Cabo. Here, you can harvest ingredients from the fields, then head into an open-air kitchen to learn how to prepare Baja specialties like spicy chile rellenos, citrusy ceviche, and handmade tortillas. For the top fine dining in the area, head to Manta. The flagship restaurant of The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, is helmed by Enrique Olvera, the chef behind Mexico City's top restaurant, Pujol. With stunning sunset views of Los Arcos, you can enjoy a menu that blends Japanese precision with bold Mexican flavors, with dishes including smoked kampachi sashimi and miso-glazed black cod. To recover after a night of imbibing, head to Pez Gallo, a minimalist café in San José's art district where the coffee is strong and the vibe is easy, or post up at Lab Coffee for rooftop cold brew and avocado toast with a Baja twist. And if you happen to sleep through breakfast, grab tacos at La Lupita. They're by far the best in the area. Where to stay In Cabo, where you stay shapes the entire rhythm of your trip. While Airbnbs and private villas (like this seaside respite in San José del Cabo or this luxurious home in Cabo San Lucas) are a popular option for those looking for privacy, full kitchens, and plenty of space, several boutique hotels are also worth looking into for their elevated services and amenities. For an immersive getaway within a lush desert environment, Acre, with its treehouse-style villas, is the perfect respite if your ideal stay includes nesting within a 25-acre palm oasis just outside San José del Cabo. Each stilted suite is crafted from reclaimed wood and surrounded by jungle, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. With a convivial outdoor pool, an award-winning restaurant, and an on-site cocktail bar, you never have to leave the property—but if you do, you'll want to return by sunset for margaritas and live music. Courtesy The Cape/Photo by Thomas Hart Shelby If ocean views and sophisticated suites are what you're after, The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, hits the mark. Every room faces the sea, and some come replete with private terraces and outdoor soaking tubs. The hotel's rooftop offers fabulous pre-dinner cocktails, best enjoyed before a meal at Manta by Chef Enrique Olvera. For peak luxury, One&Only Palmilla offers an exceptional resort experience, with butler service and whitewashed casitas that open to a private beach cove. The hotel spa, one of the largest in Baja Sur, is also well-suited for bachelorettes, hosting typical wellness classes like yoga and Pilates, as well as a curated list of treatments inspired by the ancient healing rituals of Mexico. For groups who want to be in the heart of the action in downtown San José del Cabo, a stay at Drift San José delivers with minimalist design. It's located steps from the area's top galleries, bars, and restaurants, and even has a central courtyard and pool that turns into a relaxing lounge space by evening. Gypsy Soul House Courtesy Gypsy Soul House Where to play There's no better way to explore Los Cabos than by boat. Most private charters leave from the Los Cabos Marina and come equipped with a crew who serve snacks and drinks while you navigate towards the iconic Los Arcos rock formation. Whale watching is almost guaranteed along the way, as is a stop to swim at Lover's Beach, an ideal spot for a champagne toast. Back on land, a cooking class at Tamarindos is ideal for large groups and will allow you to get acquainted with local ingredients. Guided by their team of chefs, you can pick your own herbs and vegetables to make regional dishes like stuffed corn tamales and fish tacos topped with a variety of homemade salsas.

Kim Kardashian shows off her tiny waist in skintight bottoms with bikini top on yacht with daughter North
Kim Kardashian showcased her tiny waist in skintight cropped bottoms for a luxe yacht trip with daughter North in Los Cabos. The reality star treated daughter to the boat day in honor of the tween's 12th birthday. Kim, 44, paired the tight bottoms with a barely-there bikini top that flashed her ample cleavage. She added a snakeskin patterned button-up blouse that she left open, revealing her tiny top beneath. North rang in her birthday with her blue hair - a look her aunt Kylie Jenner famously rocked a few years ago during her King Kylie era. The tween rocked a coordinating blue tank top with striped jorts, adding a number of jewelry. Kim wore her signature brunette locks loose around her, opting for mauve lipstick and large sunglasses. Their boat day comes after they were seen at a luxurious beachfront home in Los Cabos. Kim made sure North's party was luxurious, complete with an outdoor movie screening. The pool was decked out with an inflatable swan. The year prior, Kim threw a sleepover for her daughter and pals at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She paid tribute to her firstborn child with a sweet birthday post on Sunday that featured oodles of throwback photos of her daughter. 'My little baby North turns 12 years old today,' she wrote in the post. 'We were looking at pics today together and laughing so hard, you were so small. It's been the most special calling being your mom. I love you forever and got you forever my bubs.' Kris Jenner also celebrated her granddaughter's birthday with her own heartwarming birthday tribute. She added a snakeskin patterned button-up blouse that she left open, revealing her tiny top beneath 'Happy birthday to my beautiful, kind, funny, talented, and wildly creative granddaughter North West!!!' Kris posted, along with numerous snaps of her grandchild. 'From the moment you were born, you've marched to the beat of your own drum… fearless and with such a love for life. 'You have the most incredible spirit, a brilliant mind, and an imagination that amazes me. Whether you're singing, dancing, performing on stage, painting a masterpiece, you do everything with so much energy and with passion and purpose. 'Watching you grow into the confident, kind, and amazing young girl you are has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Never stop being YOU. I'm so very proud of you Northie and I love you more than words can express!!' Kim shares North and as well as three other children - Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six - with her ex-husband Kanye. Kanye and Kim were married from 2014 until the television star filed for divorce in February 2021. It was finalized in 2022. The former couple have recently been embroiled in a bitter custody battle over their kids - with the controversial rapper taking to social media to air out wild rants to his followers over the topic. Last month in May, the mom-of-four officially completed her law school program and held a mini graduation in an intimate backyard ceremony following the six-year journey. The reality star did not attend traditional law school and instead underwent Law Office Study Program (LOSP) in the state of California. Kim will still need to take the Bar Exam if she wants to professionally practice law in the state. On social media, the beauty could be seen holding a certificate of completion while also sporting a beige robe and matching graduation cap. The TV personality has also taken a role in Ryan Murphy's upcoming legal drama All's Fair alongside other cast members such as Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson and Teyana Taylor.

Kim Kardashian's tween North debuts grown-up accessory on lavish birthday trip to Mexico
Whether it's a baby shower or their annual Christmas Eve parties, the Kardashians go all out when it comes to their celebrations. And Kim Kardashian once again threw her daughter North West a birthday party the youngster won't soon forget. In honor of North's 12th birthday, the reality star treated her daughter to a trip to Los Cabos, Mexico this past weekend. North, her lucky friends, and her famous mother stayed at a luxurious beachfront home decked out with everything a birthday girl could want. The youngster even debuted quite the grown-up accessory - a glamorous manicure. North's long, bedazzled nails were visible as she explored the beachside. For the bash, Kim decked out the party with an outdoor movie screening area complete with various plush seats the kids could sit on. A wood table was decorated with a massive bouquet of flowers while a huge bouquet of blue balloons hung along the edge of the house. Their luxurious accommodations also appeared to come with a pool, as an inflatable swan could be seen on site. North was also still rocking the fun blue hairstyle she recently debuted. Kim, who shares North with her ex-husband Kanye West, was seen at one point on the deck. It's certainly not the first time Kim has thrown an epic birthday bash for her firstborn - last year, for example, she treated North and her friends to a day in New York City.
