Kim Kardashian looked completely unrecognisable as she attended a friend’s birthday without makeup on.
In the rare unfiltered snap, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is seen bare-faced and smiling as she relaxes with pals at a restaurant.
The stripped back photo was shared by Kim’s childhood friend Allison Statter as she celebrated her birthday last week.
Posting it to Instagram, Allison wrote: “It’s been a sweet week. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with me!”
She didn’t tag her famous friend in the post, but an eagle-eyed fan noticed Kim in the picture and commented: “Is that Kim on the right?”
The casual look is a far cry from how fans are used to seeing Kim when she is at glittering celeb events or posting snaps on her Instagram feed.
The 41-year-old, who has four children with ex-husband Kanye West, looked natural and happy with her long dark hair down by her shoulders as she smiled at the camera for a group shot.
Dressed all in black, perhaps she didn’t want to take any attention away from her friend on her special day.

But on her own Instagram feed, Kim was busy sharing bikini snaps of her sun-soaked holiday in the Bahamas with rumoured boyfriend Pete Davidson.
Posing for a series of snaps next to the clear blue sea, Kim posed in a tiny white bikini as she frolicked on the white sandy beach. Another showed her in the water laughing as waves crashed over her super toned body.
While a third photo of Kim lying on the beach with her eyes closed and a shadow of the mystery picture taker in the shot prompted speculation she had gone “Instagram official” with Saturday Night Live funnyman Pete.
Pete was not tagged in the post so we can’t say for sure – and Kim didn’t give anything away in the caption either, simply writing: “Mother Nature.”
But just last week Kim and Pete were spotted grabbing pizza together on a low-key date in LA.
One fan who was in the pizza restaurant at the time told MailOnline it was a “casual date without much flirting”.
“No-one in the restaurant barely noticed them and Kim was on her phone at one point,” they added.
Kim and Pete were first linked when she appeared as a guest host on Saturday Night Live in October last year.
The pair brought the house down with their impressions of Kim’s sister Kourtney and beau Travis.
They even shared a kiss during a comedy skit while dressed up as Aladdin and Princess Jasmine.
While they dismissed romance reports initially, Kim admitted she was intrigued by the stand-up comic and has since been on a string of dates with him.
They were spotted on a date to a theme park, at Pete’s favourite restaurant in Staten Island and at momager Kris Jenner’s mansion to celebrate Pete’s birthday. So will they make their relationship official in 2022?
