According to CNN , a clip of Kim wearing all black and looking cool as hell during a May women's 25m Air Pistol event in Azerbaijan is going viral alongside her Olympics performance.
With her chic fits, shooting glasses, and sleek haircut, Kim looks like she just walked out of the trendiest art house action film that hasn't opened in wide release yet, but your Brooklynite cousin already won't shut up about it.
The viral video coincided with Kim winning silver on Sunday in the Olympics' Women's 10m Air Pistol event where she once again donned a black fit paired with a simple white cap.
