The stunning mother-of-two looked sensational as she slipped her famous curves into a very figure-hugging white Vivienne Westwood number.

The star's generous assets were on full display as she worked the red carpet.

She was joined by rapper husband Kanye West, who looked smart in a black tuxedo and suede boots.

The pair were the special guests of designer Valentino, the man who has created the lavish costumes for Coppola's big opera debut.

Kim was given a run for her money in the style stakes by Keira Knightley, who is a rare addition to the A-list packed red carpets now she is a mother.

Walk tall like Kim in her Vivienne Westwood platforms

She's only 5"3 but Kim Kardashian was walking tall tonight in her supersize platforms by Vivienne Westwood!

Featuring a gold suede material and leaf design ankle ties, these seventies-inspired shoes have Vivienne Westwood written all over them. Platforms are the label's signature dish, so much so that supermodel Naomi Campbell famously took a tumble on the catwalk back in the 90s after having to wear 12-inch platforms by the brand.

Kim is also wearing a dress by Vivienne Westwood, which suits the reality star down to the ground. The label's usual corset feature is evident and the bright white material is a great choice for the red-carpet. But let's face it, all eyes are on those wicked platforms!

Sadly you can't buy Kim's shoes anymore but there's some really great styles below from Michael Kors, ASOS and Topshop that you can use to give a nod to Kim's Vivienne Westwood originals.

The auteur, who was nominated for a Best Director Oscar for Lost in Translation, revealed she was nervous about taking on such a revered piece of work until Valentino talked her into it.

She explained: 'I didn’t really know what to expect and I never could have had the courage to direct an opera, but then Valentino and Mr [Giancarlo] Giammetti [the designer’s artistic collaborator] asked me.

'I thought what an incredible experience to be able to work in the Rome opera house with the beautiful costumes and the team here, so that motivated me to take a chance and do something that was scary and very unfamiliar. 

'My great uncle has conducted La Traviata so he sat down and spoke to me a lot – I felt lucky to have this culture in my family.'

Valentino - who is a patron of the opera house - invited Coppola after watching her 2006 movie Marie Antoinette. 

The 84-year-old admits he was drawn by her skill of 'balancing the classic and the modern'.

The collaboration has already proven box office gold - with 1.2 million euros being taken already for the run, which lasts until June 30.

This is a huge success for the venue, which has struggled to compete with its rivals and has been hit with financial difficulties in recent years.

Carlo Fuortes, the general manager of the opera house, says: 'We had no doubts about her abilities but crossing from cinema to opera is not easy. She turned out to be a wonderful director. For us it’s a great honour to have her here.

'The opera house has already had requests from theatres in Japan and Spain to stage the production... It’s very rare for that to happen before the preview performance has even taken place.'

Coppola and Valentino have also teamed up with Nathan Crowley, a Brit production designer who has worked on the Batman franchise.
