She has borrowed Marie Antoinette's palace for her pre-wedding party.
And
Kim Kardashian appeared to have raided the iconic French queen's
wardrobe for her bachelorette party in a bejewled pearl encrusted gown
worthy of royalty.
Arriving for the girly bash at Costes restaurant on the Rue St. Honoré in Paris, Kim looked every bit a Queen.

Fit for royalty: While the hemline may
admittedly have appeared shockingly short to Marie Antoinette's eyes,
the rest of the Balmain gown would not have looked out of place in her
court
While
the hemline may admittedly have appeared shockingly short to Marie
Antoinette's eyes, the rest of the Balmain gown would not have looked
out of place in her court.
As a member of America's self-made reality royalty, only the best will do for bride-to-be Kim.
She wore her newly extended brunette hair wavy and over a shoulder, while simple nude flats accessorised her couture look.

The
excitement is obviously mounting ahead of the big day, with Kim's close
pal Rachel Roy Instagraming a snap of the bride at her hen do.
'Wedding wkend,' she wrote, next to the snap of Kim puckering up for a kiss.
Kim's
sisters Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie were also on hand to join
the celebrations ahead of Kim's Saturday marriage to Kanye West.

Her mother Kris Jenner tweeted a snap of her plate of escargot - snails to the non-French captioned: '#wheninfrance'.
And Kourtney got in on the act as she tweeted: 'Things are getting real. #paris #froglegs'.
Kim's $20,000 gown was from Balmain's fall 2012 collection, which the
designer explained was inspired by a Faberge egg given to Elizabeth
Taylor by her then-lover Richard Burton.
FIT FOR ROYALTY - QUEEN KIM'S BACHELORETTE DRESS
By MISTY WHITE SIDELL
Throwback piece: It retailed for upwards of $20,000
Kim Kardashian’s fall 2012 dress by Balmain was inspired by the intricate patterns that adorn FabergĂ© eggs.
The body-conscious design, which features exaggerated shoulder pads and a stiff turtleneck, was one of the most ornate designs from that season’s collection.
It likely retailed for upwards of $20,000.
In addition to its heavy white-on-white embroidery and beaded embellishments, the dress includes a needlepoint floral plate across the chest.
It is the work of Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing, who had been installed at the helm of the brand for less than a year when he created this design.
Prior to serving as creative director, Mr Rousteing worked under his predecessor Chrisophe Decarnin – helping him modernize the label for a new era.
