Kylie Jenner unleashed her animal instinct in a barely-there leopard print bikini for a sizzling new set of Instagram posts.
She fired up her Stories this Tuesday to offer her 393 million followers a glimpse behind the scenes at her latest modeling shoot.
In one photo, the 28-year-old lip kit mogul showed off her amply endowed cleavage and enviably chiseled midriff in the slinky two-piece.
The Kylie Cosmetics tycoon wrapped a towel round her waist and slid into a set of fuzzy slippers, slinging on a royal purple purse with snakeskin stitching.
Her Stories that day also included a selfie video, in which the shot ran up and down the length of her body to show off her swimsuit as she giggled with a colleague.
While she allowed a peek into the mechanics of her workday, she kept her personal life veiled, maintaining her silence on her breakup rumors with Timothee Chalamet.

Although the couple engaged in frequent public displays of affection early this summer, fans have observed they have not been seen out together in over a month.
Pouring fuel on the speculation, Timothee neglected to wish his girlfriend a happy birthday on social media when she turned 28 on Saturday.
Instead, he posted a famous photo of Muhammad Ali knocking out Sonny Liston in 1965, accompanied by the caption: ‘Dream Big.’
Kylie then sent the conjecture into overdrive by posting Insta Stories showing she was listening to two breakup songs – Lover, You Should’ve Come Over by Jeff Buckley and Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying by Labi Saffre.
Although they have not shied away from being glimpsed together in public, they have kept their relationship off social media, declining to post photos of each other.
Yet early this summer, they were repeatedly spotted together at the front row of basketball games to watch his beloved New York Knicks play.
This May, the pair walked the red carpet together for the first time before attending the 70th David Di Donatello Awards at Rome’s iconic Cinecitta Studios.
Kylie had accompanied Timothee to awards shows before, including the Oscars and the Golden Globes, but had previously let him walk the red carpet solo before appearing with him inside the ceremony.

Shortly after the Golden Globes, an insider shared the reason that Kylie waited until after the red carpet to materialize at Timothee’s side that night.
‘Kylie didn’t want to make it about them. She wanted this night to be all about Timothee, how it was intended to be,’ the source told Page Six.
In May an insider claimed the couple, who were first linked in April 2023 and went public with their romance that September, had ‘gotten really serious,’ via Us Weekly.
‘They are practically living together at this point, as he stays at her house often when he is not working. He has been fully integrated into her life,’ shared the source.
‘They are in a really good place. He makes her feel calm and confident and it is a different relationship from what she has had in the past.’
Kylie shares her two children, a daughter called Stormi, seven, and a son called Aire, three, with her amicable ex-boyfriend Travis Scott.
She previously had a longtime relationship with Travis’ fellow rapper Tyga, beginning when the latter was in his 20s and Kylie was a teenager.
