Kim Kardashian - Paparazzi noted that Kim Kardashian “quickly covered her face with some oversized sunglasses when she realized she was being photographed” in this picture of her leaving the gym in Studio City, California. But the reality star has previously gone bare for the covers of magazines—the March 2012 cover of Allure and the December 2011 cover of Marie Claire—a move that earned her the nickname "barefaced bombshell."
