She's known for her swishy blow-dried hair, designer clothes and manicured good looks.
But Kim Kardashian headed in a brand new style direction for a trip to the gym yesterday, with her hair braided in cornrows.
Perhaps Kim was attempting to add a slightly cooler edge to her look.
She is rumoured to be busy recording her first pop single, with Kanye West said to feature in the accompanying Hype West-directed video.
Whatever she's doing, Kim has been struggling to keep it to herself.
'OMG u guys have no idea what I'm doing today! You are gonna DIE!!!!,' she tweeted.
This was quickly followed by: 'What an amazing day!!! I'm finished for today...but we have a few more to go!'
And she later teased: 'Feels so good to overcome a fear!'
Adding to the rumours, Kanye was spotted helping Kim celebrate her 30th birthday onboard a yacht in New York in October before she headed to Chicago to attend the screening of his short film Runway.
While Kim is forging a music career, her sister Khloe Kardashian and her LA Lakers star husband Lamar Odom are set to start work on their long-rumoured Newlyweds-type reality show.
'It shoots in the spring,' a source told this week's Us magazine.
Another source told the publication that the series will have the same atmosphere as Bravo's Bethenny Getting Married: 'They're so cute, playing off one another.'
But fans will be seeing a little less of one member of the Kardashian family.

Though Scott Disick has told friends he and Kourtney won't let son Mason appear on Kourtney & Kim Take New York so he can have a 'normal' life, a source tells Us magazine that isn't the real reason.
Disick demanded $5,000 an episode for the 12-month-old! 'E! offered $1,000, but he played hardball. E! was like, "Are you out of your mind?"'
Another friend added: 'He bungled negotiations, so you won't see Mason at all.'
