Pregnant Kim Kardashian upstages sister Kourtney with her new bangs by showcasing them in elegant outfit

Ever the cautious, Kim Kardashian road-tested her new look by donning fake bangs at the beginning of the year. 

After a few fashion faux pas due to the style genesis seemingly sparked by her boyfriend, Kanye West, the 32-year-old is wisely taking precautions to ensure she pulls off the new haircut with a aplomb. 

And on her first outing with the eye-framing bangs, she did just that.

Working it! Kim Kardashian premiered her new fringe during a shopping trip with her sister Kourtney at Bel Bambini in LA on Wednesday

Kim stepped out on an unseasonably hot day in LA to do a bit of shopping, but she never lost her cool.
The mother-to-be was accompanied her sister Kourtney to Bel Bambini, where they both picked out baby clothes.
Kourtney, 33, is of course mom to baby Penelope, seven months, and three-year-old Mason.
Kim decided to dress down the edgy look by wearing black trousers and a crisp white shirt with matching blazer.

It was one of her strongest looks to date, utterly elegant and flatteringly simple.
She matched the outfit with a bright white clutch and stylish pointed pumps.
Meanwhile, Kourtney, who opted for the bangs first, showed off her ultra slim figure in a striped peplum top and shorts.
She slicked some red lipstick across her lips to complete the look.
The pair were also joined by sister Khloe and her new pup.
