The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was cheery as she recently attended her famous family's annual Christmas Eve bash.
In a new video, Kim revealed how she got glammed up and dressed for the holiday bash.
Hairstylist Chris Appleton helped fluff out her waves as the Skims founder switched to a brunette look.
Kim gushed: "We're back!" while showing off her black hair.
She then tilted the camera to display more of her shimmering outfit.
The behind-the-scenes video ended with Kim blowing a kiss to her fans.
At the party, the former E! star stunned in a sparkling silver gown as she nearly busted out of its low-cut neckline.

There was a table full of doughnuts, cookies, chocolate-wrapped pretzels, and other festive sweets designed to look like holiday ornaments.
