The temperatures in N.Y.C. soared near 100 degrees this week, and while some celebs still layered up in long sleeves, Kim Kardashian West dressed appropriately for the weather. Instead of sweating through a stuffy blouse or sweater, the reality star decided to forgo a shirt completely and instead stepped out in just a corset while out Wednesday in Manhattan.
