The reality star wore her heart on her handbag at Variety's Power Of Women luncheon in New York City, as she carried a clutch which depicted her nuptials.

Designed to look like a book with edges decorated with gold leaf, the white bag showed an illustration of Kim and Kanye kissing under the words: 'Mr & Mrs. West. A Love Story.'

Kim, who married the rapper on May 24, 2014, teamed the statement accessory with an outfit which was demure by her standards, but still rather revealing.

The 34-year-old sported a sheer white top, revealing her flesh-coloured bra underneath and plenty of her impressive cleavage.

Kim tucked the top into cream high-waisted, 1970s style wide-leg trousers and wore a matching baggy sleeveless coat over the top.

She stands at a petite 5ft 3in, so the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star gave herself quite the boost with black and white printed platform shoes, teetering into Cipriani 42nd Street.

White out negativity like Kim Kardashian in Narcisco Rodriguez

It's the one year anniversary of Kimye and Kim Kardashian is festively dressed up in an all off-white Narcisco Rodriguez Fall 2015 outfit. Straight off the runway before production, it pays to be Mrs. West.

We love the sheer top and high waisted, wide leg pants that just begged to be photographed while walking. This outfit is total street style bait. However what really caught our eye was the long vest. This vest is what makes the outfit and will be so versatile through every season. The tuxedo lapel frames your face and is very slimming.

Style it with over a white sleeveless flared dress for some virginal innuendos for a first date or throw it over ripped jeans for a more casual SoHo artisty look.

Sadly, this vest is not available yet but if you're looking for a proper topper right now, check out our selections below.

Kim slicked her raven hair back and went for striking make-up, with strong brows, smoky eyes and nude lipstick.

The star is honoured for her charity work in Variety's special Power Of Women issue, and also features on a cover which she proudly posed beside it on the red carpet.

Kim was recognised for her efforts for Children's Hospital, and like all he honourees, delivered a speech on stage for the crowd and was given a trophy as a thank you.

The star spoke about her late father Robert's esophageal cancer and said his diagnosis inspired her to help others.

'Having the best medical care is paramount,' Kim said, according to Variety's live blog, before speaking about visiting sick children at Children's Hospital.

'Never underestimate the power of a selfie,' the social media queen joked.

Kim concluded: 'Here's to strong women: may we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.'

At the event, Kim was asked by E! if she will be watching her stepfather Bruce Jenner's much anticipated interview with Diane Sawyer, which will air on Friday night.

'Yes, we will be all watching as a family tonight. That is all I am going to say about it now,' the star revealed. 

After clarifying that she will watch the show with Bruce, Kim added to Access Hollywood: 'I'm excited that everyone is hearing what Bruce has to say.'   

She also discussed 22-month-old daughter North at the event, telling USA Today: 'I hope I have the same relationship with her that I do with my mom, that she's my best friend.' 

A host of inspiring women showed up to the Lifetime hosted bash celebrating successful females, and Kim posed with Girls creator Lena Dunham before settling down for the meal.

Lena was among the other honourees at the event, along with Rachel Weisz, Glenn Close and Whoopi Goldberg - who were all in attendance at the bash too.

The 28-year-old wore a black sequined dress featuring colourful embroidery down the front, depicting clapper boards, cameras and televisions. 

Lena, who helps sex trafficking victims through the charity GEMS, told the crowd: 'When I was raped I felt powerless. I felt my body was not my own.' 

She added that 'as a feminist and sexual assault survivor' she wants to utilise her 'platform to reverse stigma'.

Lena, who also joked that the fact she identifies as a feminist 'will surprise absolutely nobody in this room', cuddled up to Rachel Weisz on the red carpet for a few photos.

The 45-year-old actress turned every head in a black pantsuit decorated with white polka dots, and a white shirt with black pussy bow.

Rachel accessorised with black sandals and a matching clutch bag, and added to the androgynous feel of her look by tying her dark hair back, finishing off the ensemble with scarlet red lipstick.

The Mummy star spoke on stage during the luncheon as she was honoured with a trophy thanks to her work with Opportunity Network, which helps students get into university.

Playing it considerably more safe on the red carpet were the final two honourees, Glenn and Whoopi, with legendary actress Glenn in a blue leather jacket, black trousers and matching shoes, and Whoopi dressed down in all-black. 

Several attendees tweeted about Glenn's brilliant speech, focusing on the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Speaking about the suicide death of her close friend Robin Williams in August, she turned to Whoopi and said: 'Whoopi, I feel Robin here today. He would be whispering in my ear, a couple of jokes would help right now.'

Glenn, whose sister and nephew suffer from mental illness, was honoured for starting the nonprofit Bring Change 2 Mind, and she said at the podium: 'I may appear alone but I can feel my entire family.'

Talking about strong women, she added: 'As an actress I've terrified men. And I've certainly terrified children. But I've yet to terrify women.'

Whoopi, supporting the nonprofit Figure Skating In Harlem which teaches young women leadership and academic skills, told the audience: 'If you're a woman and you get someplace, put your hand out.

'If you're in power, see what's missing. And soon it won't be about empowering women, it will be about empowering men.'

Meanwhile on the red carpet to help celebrate the efforts of the honourees was Emmy Rossum, who cut a stylish figure in a tangerine frock which clung to her slender frame before fanning out into a full layered skirt.

The 28-year-old Shameless star teamed the dress with matching shoes, and added a sexy touch to her otherwise sweet look with bronze eyeshadow and deep red lipstick.

Emmy carried a miniature silver clutch and wore her chestnut brown hair lightly tousled.

Also courting attention was Orange Is The New Black actress Dascha Polanco, who put her curves on display in a tight white dress featuring a bright blue, red and purple design on the front.

The frock clung to the rising star's voluptuous form and also allowed her to flash some cleavage with a low-cut neckline. 

As these ladies gathered together, Kim's husband Kanye, 37,was spotted about town, leaving his New York City apartment in a casual get-up.
