She may be one of the most talked about stars in the world, but she still has to take her shoes off at airport security.

Just like many other travellers, Kim Kardashian fell foul of a footwear faux pas on Wednesday as she was left standing in unsavoury black socks, forced to remove her super-sexy thigh-high boots.

A significant step down from her show-stopping red carpet moment at Cannes Film Festival a mere few hours before, Kim, 35, was dressed down for her flight out of France with momager Kris Jenner, 60.

Bye bye boots: Kim Kardashian was left standing in a pair of black socks at the airport on Wednesday morning, as she caught a flight out of France following the Cannes Film Festival

Kim was reduced to her vest dress and the short black socks she'd been hiding to pass through the security scanners, and without her heeled boots and a hooded cover up, Kim's slimmed down shape was completely on show.

Even Kris was uncharacteristically casual in jeans and a basic long-sleeved top, although since she'd chosen practical, flat trainers, the 60-year-old was able to leave her shoes on.

Nice Airport, like many others in Europe, reserves the right to ask you to remove your shoes for the metal detection portals, though women are more commonly asked to take off boots or shoes with a heel.

The mother-daughter duo had packed only hold luggage for their European flight, especially since Kim's visit to the south of France has been so fleeting.

You may think that the season for over the knee boots is, well, over.

But you'd be wrong. While thigh highs do look fabulous over skinny jeans and leggings in the autumn and winter, they really come into their own in the warmer months when worn with bare legs.

Today's footwear inspiration is Kim Kardashian who looked fierce in a pair of rather fabulous boots by Sergio Rossi. The soft suede, light tan shade, pointed toe and block heel; it's all working for us. And styled with a tiny bodycon mini dress they're a super sexy choice too.

The good news for all Kim aficionados is these beauties are available to buy at Farfetch now (right). But they're selling out fast so be quick if you want to steal her style.

Or get the look for less with one of the options in our edit below. Stuart Weitzman, Asos, Carvela and Dolce Vita have all got similar boots that'll do the trick. Then wear with a floaty midi or some cut off denim shorts this summer.

What a difference a day makes: Just hours before, Kim had been glammed up for the glittering De Grisogono Party at Cannes Film Festival

Kim had only arrived in Cannes on Monday morning yet she was already back at the airport and boarding another flight - even though she's due back in Cannes on Thursday night for the annual AmFAR Gala, to be held at Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc.

Used to the jetset lifestyle by now, Kim had chosen a make-up free visage and a fuss-free up-do that saw her long locks still neatly pulled back into a tiny bun - the chosen hairstyle for last night's De Grisogono party - hinting that she hadn't slept on it yet.

No doubt the brunette had only just changed out of her glittering party dress and cleansed her skin of the dark underliner and famous contouring painted on for the Eden Roc hotel party.

It had been the chance to showcase her flawless post-baby curves on the world's stage and she'd chose wisely with a slinky silver gown that cutaway to reveal a skintight nude bodysuit.

Kim had been treated like a superstar by Swiss luxury jeweller and host Fawaz Gruosi and rubbed shoulders with Bella Hadid, Alek Wek, Mischa Barton and Barbara Palvin.

Though Kim enjoyed on a brief stay, Kris has been in Cannes since last Wednesday, supporting 19-year-old supermodel daughter Kendall Jenner on her various high profile appearances.

Kris arrived in Nice at Kendall's side, though since then Kourtney Kardashian's ex Scott Disick has joined the duo.

Kendall has been staying on Roman Abramovich's superyacht, seemingly by herself even though stars including Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom and Kate Hudson have also frequented the £175,000-a-night vessel.
