is mocked for freezing in barely-there dress on -20 degree night ...

It's fair to say that Kim Kardashian is a slave to fashion and that was certainly the case when she stepped out on Monday wearing a skimpy dress by Thierry Mugler. 

The 38-year-old left her coat at home to wear the gowns as she opened an exhibition of the designer's work in Montreal, Canada, where the temperature was a freezing -18- minus 20 degrees. 

What's more, she risked a serious injury when she was forced to walk across an icy pavement in her Yeezy heeled mules, taking tiny pigeon steps so she didn't fall.  

Fashion, darling: Kim Kardashian has been mocked for wearing a barely-there dress on -20 degree night out in Montreal to open the Thierry Mugler exhibition on Monday... as she struggled to walk on ICE in six inch Yeezy heels

Kim first modelled the flowing pink gown and golden breastplate created by the French fashion designer.

The reality star then changed into an equally skimpy white corset-style dress later in the day.

One person wrote on social media: 'So @KimKardashian is in Montreal right now and I don’t think she got the memo of our freezing weather cus sis showed up wearing this. 

She cant even walk cus she’s wearing heels n tryna walk on ice.' 

Another wrote: 'Kim honey, put a jacket on, this is Montreal. Ain’t no LA weather #ColdAsBalls.' 

How does she do it? Kim left her coat at home to wear this Mugler gown to open his exhibition but Canadians were shocked that she would wear so little in such cold temperatures

'And Why does she wears fur coats in LA but not here...  #KimKardashian #Montreal #TheNorth #Northerner.'

'Dear @KimKardashian how did you survive the Montreal cold in that (unreal!!) dress? I can’t survive summer without a sweater. For real, tips please?' 

Something to say: Once fan proved that the temperature was -18 degrees - it was actually two degrees colder at certain points as they urged her to wrap up warm

'Did u not check the weather before you went out in Montreal you do know its Canada during winter n not LA right it gets cold here.'

Others praised her for braving the cold in a bid to show off her gowns.

They wrote: 'Lmao @KimKardashian is in Montreal and she didn’t excpect our weather -20 and ice is incredible I almost fell but props to Kim for surviving.'

Grin and bear it: Kim showcased her final look on her Instagram account for her fans before heading out

'I think this what you ment to say “So @kimkardashian is in Montreal and sis show up so hot she melted the ice beneath her feet as she slayed walking back to her black car. I’m not worthy of her presence.' 

'Gotta give props where they’re due; @kimkardashian in 6” heels and bare chested and bare legged when it’s -20C and the streets of Montreal are a literal ice rink. Bless.'

The 5ft3in brunette beauty first displayed herself wearing the sheer, pale pink dress on her Instagram stories. 

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star seemed to be channeling Wonder Woman with the dress' golden breastplate and her fabric cuff bracelet on one arm.

Kim rocked a sultry bedhead look as she tied her hair up in bun, leaving a few strands to cover one eye.
