Kim Kardashian seems to have her old bikini body on her mind these days.

That may be because the 35-year-old reality star has been on a strict Atkins diet to shed those 70 pounds when pregnant with son North. She is already down to 135lbs.

On Friday the wife of Kanye West proved she was even thinner than she is now when she posed for People magazine in 2009 in a bikini. The star shared two never-seen-before behind the scenes shots on kimkardashianwest.com.

The shoot took place in the Bahamas and the Selfish author was not skimpy when it came to sharing images. She posted over two dozen snaps, several of them with her hair and makeup team.

Kim wrote in her caption: 'I did this shoot for People in 2009 in the Bahamas! I remember it was SUCH a beautiful day and we had such a good time working on this.'

The siren looks to be in the best shape of her life with toned arms, abs, a small waistline and shapely thighs.

Kim Kardashian is always our ultimate style crush. Just look at her here, donning a red bomber jacket, black simple tee, ripped jeans and nude sandals.

In her arms is the Birkin, the tote that skyrocketed to fame on Sex & The City in the 1990s. It is famously not available to buy online and almost impossible offline because of the company's waiting list. That is, unless you're a celebrity like Kim. That said, you can shop other styles from Hermes with a click to the right.

The iconic Jane Birkin design sells for more than five figures so you'll be doing your savings account a favor by having a scroll through our edit below. We were thrilled when Saint Laurent released their Birkin-esque Sac De Jour a few years ago and do suggest it as an investment worthy alternative.

Yet it'll still set you back a pretty penny so we've selected some similar styles for much less, as a black tote is an absolute essential for any woman's wardrobe.

In 2009 Kim had been on her E! series Keeping Up With The Karashians for only two years and mega fame had not yet hit.

This comes after the siren was seen wearing some very bleached jeans when on a dinner date in London with West.

The daughter of Kris Jenner, 60, also had on a low-cut beige tank top and a long coat.

Before that the reality queen was at Disneyland with her daughter North as well as her sister Kourtney.
