Over the past 15 years, Kim Kardashian West has continued to reinvent her style. From her Hervé Léger bandage dress obsession to her all-things-vintage-'90s era, Kardashian West, 40, never shies away from shaking up her wardrobe. But one thing has always remained constant — her love of showing skin — and lately, the star is keeping her famous figure covered up.

Ever since she stepped out at the 2021 Met Gala in a head-turning (and polarizing) black Balenciaga look that covered her entire body, Kardashian West has ditched sexy outfits in favor of other completely covered looks by the Paris-based label. And the Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum continued to parade her conservative style in New York City this week as she preps for her Saturday Night Live hosting gig on Oct. 9.

Two days before her SNL debut, Kardashian covered up when she headed out to dinner in a burgundy, padded leather trench coat, an oversized hoodie pulled over her head, hot pink thigh-high boots and a Balenciaga crystal-embellished handbag.

Earlier in the day, Kardashian West rocked head-to-toe hot pink. The star stunned on her way to SNL rehearsals in a structured Balenciaga crushed velvet blazer with the same slouchy satin boots and crystal Balenciaga bag.

Despite the 68° autumn weather in Manhattan, Kardashian West headed to her second SNL rehearsal on Oct. 6 prepared for a blizzard as she dressed once again in a head-to-toe Balenciaga look featuring an oversize Balenciaga puffer vest, long-sleeve turtleneck leather top, burgundy gloves and a floor-length leather skirt attached to thigh-high boots.

She accessorized the look with rectangular sunglasses, a leather baseball cap and a duffle bag so large, we've been placing bets about what she could be keeping inside (her SNL scripts, perhaps?).

On Tuesday night, Kardashian West kept with the Balenciaga theme and once again dressed for the cold (for reference, the temp was about 60°) with a sparkling, fuzzy coat that fell all the way to her knees.

Yet again, she steered clear from showing any skin. Instead she chose a black Balenciaga Knotted Crepe Top ($1,390), her go-to Balenciaga pantaleggings and slim, Matrix-style sunnies.

Before her Balenciaga love affair, Kardashian West rarely repeated outfits. But now we're seeing her do it more than ever. That same day, she went to SNL rehearsal in the same Balenciaga blouse, pantaleggings and sunglasses as she wore to dinner that evening. However, this time she switched it up by accessorizing it with long black gloves and the same huge leather duffle (seriously, what is in there?!).

Kardashian West loves to talk fashion (she's given fans a look into her huge wardrobe archive before) but oddly, has yet to open up about her current style aesthetic. However, when the star debuted her custom Balenciaga look at the Met Gala, sources told PEOPLE her ex-husband Kanye West is playing a role in crafting her new vibe.

"It was Kanye who introduced Kim to [Balenciaga creative director] Demna [Gvasalia] and was instrumental in the newly formed relationship between her and Balenciaga," the source said.

"This look on Kim is like a new subculture and fashion statement," the source added. "No logo, no face, but everyone knows it's her. Kanye gave her the courage to push creativity and people's imagination through art. It's the ultimate confidence."
