Kim Kardashian took to Instagram on Tuesday to share memories of her “first ever fashion shoot” with the late Karl Lagerfeld.
The 42-year-old mogul — who was recently spotted outside her Calabasas office — posted photos from a 2013 CR Fashion Book shoot.
The star, who was pregnant with her firstborn child North at the time, recalled the high point in her career through the app’s Stories feature.
She wrote alongside an image, “My first ever fashion shoot with North in my belly. A few weeks later I gave birth.’
It comes a day after A-list celebrities honored the German fashion designer at the 2023 Met Gala.

In one snap, Kim, who was dating Kanye West at the time, wore a long white coat while talking to Karl.
The designer, who designed for fashion houses Chloe and Chanel during his career, stood next to Kim in his signature black blazer and fingerless gloves.
His white-gray hair was tied back in a small ponytail and he wore dark sunglasses.
In another outtake, Kardashian, who hadn’t built her empire yet, was dressed in black pajamas as she posed on a bed with black sheets.
She looked stunning in the satin pant set and a matching bra, showing off her burgeoning baby bump.
In the behind the scenes shots, Kim fell in love with a glamor crew on set, who were in Paris.
In another photo from the shoot, Kim wore an oversized cream turtleneck while lying on a white bed.
And the mother-of-four also shared a photo of Lagerfeld with her mother Kris Jenner, who stole the spotlight from her daughter on her big day at the time.

Speak against The cut, a subset of New York Magazine, in 2019, the former E! personality remembered how angry she was at Jenner at the time.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alumnus raved about her first photo shoot with the fashion designer and had been tipped by friends that he usually gifted his models with a special accessory.
However, Kim was shocked when her mother came to their meeting and instantly bonded with the Chanel legend.
She described the situation saying, “I’m going to Paris. My mother is coming with me. Is it there; I wait. I pass…’
“I had told one of my girlfriends I’m doing this with Karl, and she was like, ‘Oh my God, he’s going to give you a bag. He gives all his models, especially on their first shoot, a bag.’
“Halfway through the shoot, my mom comes in and she’s wearing Chanel leggings, Chanel thigh-high boots, blazer, turtleneck, dangling earrings, Chanel cuffs, gloves, sunglasses, beret: She was decked out in ’80s Chanel.
Karl stops the shoot and walks up to her and says, “Oh my god, are you her mom? I remember this jacket! I remember these gloves! I made those earrings!”
“Those two have a love affair like I’ve never seen before.”

Kim recalled feeling “embarrassed” that her mother stole her special moment.
She continued, “I’m like, this is so embarrassing and this is so annoying. I remember texting my sisters saying, “Guys, mom is stealing my shiiiine.” This is my first fashion shoot!’
So then the shoot is over and he comes out with something behind his back. And I’m like, “THE BAAAAAG. IT’S HEEEERRE. OH MY GOD.”
“I think: I will cherish this forever, and I am pregnant, so one day I will give this bag to my daughter.
Then he comes up and says, “Kim, this was the best shoot. Thank you so much. But Kris, here’s a bag for you,” and he hands the bag to my mom. And it was a LEGO clutch.”
She explained, “They were like ten thousand, and you could never get one. And this was all Swarovski crystal with hand stones, that was just a sample that never made it to production.”

Kim said she cried afterwards because she felt Kris had taken over her day.
She added, “So I go to the bathroom and start crying. I was like, “Oh my god, she totally stole my life. She stole my whole day today! This was my biggest moment ever in fashion, with Carine, Riccardo and Karl!”
And Kim — who has North, nine, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 3 with ex-husband Kanye — regularly reminds Kris to leave the bag to her oldest daughter when she dies.
She said, “She still has the bag in her closet to this day. And I told her, “Just to be clear, in your will this goes north.” I do not need it. That bag was for my daughter.’
