Kim Kardashian made early pandemic headlines for her workout action, and with a bikini thrown into the mix, she was guaranteed to make front-page news.
In June 2020, the reality star respected social distancing as she kept within the confines of her luxurious L.A. mansion, making the most of her stuck-at-home time to stay in shape.
Posing in a minuscule bikini from a workout machine, Kim flaunted her curves ahead of her 2022 weight loss, making eyes pop in a two-piece that some fans called "too small." Ditching her usual SKIMS promos, the 44-year-old chose a leopard-print bikini from Ark Swimwear.

Scroll for the photo. Posing from a StairMaster and using both hands to cling onto it, Kim wowed in a beyond tiny, animal-print bikini with a bralette top and matching briefs.
Rocking super-thin spaghetti straps that highlighted her toned shoulders, the 44-year-old flashed her ample cleavage via a plunging neckline, drawing the eye from her curves to her abs as she struck an edgy, relaxed pose with one leg a little folded.

Flaunting a golden tan as she wore hiking-style sneakers with pops of brown matching her bikini, Kim sent the camera a soft gaze, inching her way toward a slight smile as she wore her hair down.
Sporting her locks dyed blonde and with dark roots showing, the shapewear designer rocked matte makeup and a nude lip, showing off her high cheekbones and her famous full pout.
The image was reposted by sister Kourtney Kardashian's Poosh lifestyle brand's Instagram this week. Shouting out Kim's workout body in a caption, Poosh wrote: "We’re sharing 3 total-body exercises inspired by Kim Kardashian’s fitness routine. Tap the link in bio for the full circuit." Fans quickly reacted. "Gym bod loading!" one said, although elsewhere, users shaded Kim.

The OG photo had made The Daily Mail's headlines back in 2020. Kim Kardashian wound up body-shamed and trolled by bitter users, some of whom suggested that her swimwear didn't fit her. "
"Since when is wearing "clothes" 5 sizes too small and taking pics a workout?" one fan replied, gaining over 200 upvotes. Another said: "Lol, she is so thirsty for attention. Girl, stop!"

The above animal-print look and this one both date back to earlier this year when Kim Kardashian updated her Instagram in promo mode for SKIMS SWIM.
Enjoying a tropical beach as she struck poses during her shoot, Kim showed off the 21 pounds she dropped nearly three years ago, and it looks like she's kept the weight off. She even braved a see-through finish by rocking a shirt-style bikini top in white, plus bold blue bottoms.
