Kim Kardashian and Kate Moss show LATEX is new LEATHER (warning: pictures may contain curves)

Tighter, shinier and altogether much more risqué, you need a killer body, a dash of courage and plenty of talcum powder to attempt this look

Kim Kardashian can’t get enough of it - she’s stepped out wearing it three times in the past few months, and now supermodel Kate Moss has got in on the act.

Latex is the new leather and is turning into a firm celebrity favourite.

But this look is not for the faint hearted. Tighter, shinier and altogether much more risqué than it’s predecessor, you need a killer body, a dash of courage and plenty of talcum powder to attempt this look.

Reality TV star Kim clearly has all of these and has been spotted wearing an array of latex designs by cult label Atsuko Kudo.

Latex or leather?

Never too latex

Give me a leathering

The blush pink skirt and bra top ensemble she wore to the launch of her perfume in Melbourne cost £274 and, love it or loathe it, there’s no denying it showed off her assets to full effect.

Designer Simon Hoare has revealed that his designs are so tight they leave little room for underwear.

Kate Moss’s look was less revealing, but no less sexy, when she attended a birthday bash at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Tuesday night.

Dressed in head to toe black the supermodel accessorised with red lipstick, killer heels and a fur coat, with a look not many people could pull off.

Pop Princess Kylie Minogue, model Katie Price and singer Nicole Scherzinger are also latex lovers.

But before you rush out and invest, wear it head to toe and you run the risk of looking like you’re going to an S&M party...
