Kim Kardashian, known for her bold fashion choices and media dominance, is making waves again as she steps into her first-ever leading role on the big screen with Netflix. The reality TV icon was spotted looking ultra-glam in a recently released photo from the set of 'The Fifth Wheel,' a new comedy directed by none other than Eva Longoria.
In a sneak peek image, Kardashian can be seen exuding confidence in a sleek and edgy leather outfit, consisting of form-fitting pants and an asymmetrical top. Her signature straight jet-black hair, paired with a glamorous makeup look, adds to the allure as she embraces her character's "hot outsider" role.
“This is a huge step for Kim,” notes a source close to the production. “Her style perfectly complements the vibe of the film.”
The film marks a significant milestone for both Kardashian and Longoria. For the former, it’s not just her first leading film role but also her first time collaborating with the streaming giant. The ensemble cast boasts familiar names like stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser, Fortune Feimster, Brenda Song, Jack Whitehall, Casey Wilson, and Scott MacArthur.
'The Fifth Wheel,' penned by Paula Pell and Janine Brito, spins the tale of old high school buddies reconnecting during a wild weekend in Las Vegas. When Kardashian’s character unexpectedly joins the party, the group confronts their chaotic lives and fractured friendships.
Behind the scenes, the production team is stacked with talent, including producers Paula Pell, Will Ferrell, and Jessica Elbaum. Longoria, who previously directed 'Flamin’ Hot,' brings her flair to the Netflix project, adding to her directing credentials.
Kardashian is clearly on an acting trajectory, having recently played roles in Hulu’s 'All’s Fair' and 'American Horror Story.' She's also set to star as the villain in an upcoming 'Bratz' movie for Amazon MGM.
As for Longoria, this film marks her second directorial feature and her first outing with Netflix, following her success with 'Flamin’ Hot.' With production now underway, fans eagerly await the release of this female-driven comedy, which promises a fresh take on friendship and fun in Sin City.
