Kim Kardashian leaves internet baffled after turning up to event on mobility scooter

Kim Kardashian has left the internet seriously baffled after turning up to event on a mobility scooter.

The 44-year-old reality TV and social media star rocked up to the grand opening of her new Skims flagship store in New York on Thursday (12 December) wearing a cream leather two-piece ensemble, a matching cream handbag and a lovely half-up half-down hairstyle for the occasion.

However, it wasn't her outfit which caught the attention of fans online - it was the apparatus she used to make her entrance.

Fans of The Kardashians will already know Kim broke her foot last week after she took to Instagram sharing her annoyance over the injury.

While she didn't detail how the injury occurred, the mum-of-four penned with an angry emoji: "FML."

In the picture, which Kim uploaded to her story at the time, Kim sported a black boot on her left foot while using a pair of crutches to help her walk.

"Broken foot for the holidays," she added.

It's clear not even a broken foot could stop Kim donning heels for the special occasion, however, she did later change into a pair of Uggs which she wore while using the knee scooter.

Regardless, fans found the entire thing pretty iconic with one Instagram user writing: "404 error: broken foot not found."

A second quipped: "The irony of being in a jump suit when you can’t jump with your broke a** foot."

"No way can she wear those heels with a broken foot," chirped a third, while a fourth echoed: "Broken foot but still wearing heels? Even in the broken one?"

A fifth chimed in: "Broken foot but wearing heels? Weird lol."

A sixth praised: "Love that she still put a heel on it!! That’s my girl."

"If I ever break my foot I will opt for the heel too," admitted another and a final fan added: "I love how she still has a heel on her broken foot. Grind never stops."

Earlier this month (4 December), Kim posted a series of snaps to Instagram riding an electric bike wearing a helmet, a white bodysuit and sheer tights - also in heels.

She captioned the photo dump: "Enjoy the ride."

Some fans have speculated that this stunt could be the reason behind Kim's new injury.

However, the businesswoman has not yet said whether or not this photoshoot was what caused her to break her foot.
