Pregnant Kim Kardashian almost takes a tumble in high heels and tight grey frock while shopping in Beverly Hills

Kim Kardashian, 34, was spotting indulging in a bit of retail therapy in Beverly Hills on Friday

Kim Kardashian put her changing shape on show during a shopping trip in Beverly Hills on Friday.

The reality star, who is pregnant with her second child, wore a tight grey mini-dress for the solo shopping outing at Celine on Rodeo Drive. 

She finished off the look with dark oversized shades and simple but elegant brown heels that may have caused her to stumble a bit along the way. 

The outfit appeared to be an American Apparel Ponte Tank Dress that retails at just $58, much less than the items on display in the boutique stores of Beverly Hills, where Kim was shopping.

Just this month, Kim admitted that it requires her to wear two pairs of Spanx, when stepping out in her very tight-fitting wardrobe.

She told Sally Holmes, Senior News Editor at Elle: 'Sometimes I wear two pairs of Spanx under something or stockings - it holds you in.'

She strut her stuff in simple but elegant brown heels that caused her to stumble a bit along the way.

Then referring to her pregnancy (with many believing she's about three months along) the star said: 'I was getting bigger and bigger and I was like "No, I'm not pregnant yet, I need to be skinny."'

Kim went on to discuss the price of beauty: 'And, I mean, sometimes I'll wear something and I'll get inside and be like "Oh my God, I want to take these shoes off," like "That was not normal, I can't wear these, I need to just leave and take them off."'

Earlier in the day the star shared a picture of her daughter North on Instagram wearing her dad Kanye West's thick gold chain.

This week, Kanye opened up about his daughter, admitting that he hates it  when people describe 23-month-old North's moniker as 'weird' and thinks the world is 'ugly' because there is so much criticism of those that don't conform. 

He said: 'Ya'll be calling my daughter's name weird, like, her name should be like some name that you've heard before and all that. I don't like to say that it's weird when it's innovative and fresh.

'Like I hate that, like, creatives are beat down so much and are put in a position where they can't even speak out loud, that's the reason why the world be ugly, because there's millions of beautiful colours in the world but the world is only controlled by one colour.'

Though the 37-year-old rapper says he can't defend himself against all criticism, he insists he is 'brave' enough to take the 'hit' on behalf of all creatives but thinks he is attacked unfairly as he gives so much to the world.

Speaking to Hot 97fm, he said: 'I'm in my own zone. I can't walk around trying to defend myself, chime in on everything.

'I fight for the people who see those colours, who understand it, and I take the hit constantly. I have the bravery to take the hit, people to call me names, call wife names, call my daughter ..

'We take the hit, but when it's said and done if you look at the past 10 years, have I contributed more or took away more from the world? From music, from stage design, or just from wearing dope a*s coats at the airport?'

And though he is a regular feature in the media for more than just his music, Kanye insists he actually leads a very 'boring' life.

He said: 'I'm completely boring, actually. I don't want to kill the blogs and media stakeout and stuff, but I'm so boring. All I do is go to the studio everyday.'

The Bound 2 hitmaker is ready to take a break from the spotlight to focus on his family and 'recharge' before he makes new music.

He said: 'I gotta focus on the kids, I gotta take them to tap class and all types of gym class.

'I really wanna go away, like I been doing a lot of features, right now I just want to take some time to focus on my album, my next collection and North's birthday.

'Just focus on my family and then be able to recharge and reenergise and bring something of value.
