The photographs, which Kim posted on her website, were filmed for World's Most Beautiful magazine in a disused mining town in the California desert by her favourite photographer Nick Saglimbeni.
They new publication, which hits U.S. news stands on Thursday, will be 'the world's first 3-D magazine,' according to Kim.
'So you need 3-D glasses to see the photos! How cool is that!?' she wrote. 'I’m The World’s First 3D Magazine Cover Girl!'

'Nick Saglimbeni came up with the idea and we had the most amazing shoot out in the desert with all kinds of stunning outfits. I love the black lace body suit! I’m going to make that image my Twitter background!!'
The photographs show Kim in a variety of revealing outfits, with the cover shot featuring the star in a miniskirt made up of black ribbons, a black bra and a beige jacket.

According to E! Online, the shoot was kept quiet, with even Kim not aware of the full details - only that she had signed up for a 'top-secret' glam-meets-wasteland shoot in the desert.
Kim told the website she was 'amazed' when she first heard Nick would be shooting her with a 3D customised camera and said the results are 'magical.'
She added: 'I work with Nick all the time and he is my favourite photographer. He just makes everyone feel so comfortable and confident. He just wants to have fun and make beautiful photos.'

'It's like you're popping out on screen. There are so many exciting things you can do with 3-D. I can't wait to see what you do with it after this.'
However, it seemed the star had to suffer for her art on the shoot.
'We were in this abandoned mining town, doing this shot where I was all glammed out in black lace, and I had to lie down on this old wooden porch,' she told E!
'I got so many splinters, in so many painful places, but I just stayed focused and tried to be sexy. I loved the contrast and how it all came together.'
