Kim Kardashian looks downcast as she enjoys a night out with troubled Kanye West... after breaking her silence over Paris heist

A troubling end to an otherwise productive year was swept to one side on Friday evening as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made a joint appearance in Beverly Hills.

Accompanied by a troupe of bodyguards, the couple looked visibly downcast ahead of what is rapidly becoming a rare night out on the town.

Kim, 36, eschewed her trademark glamour for a loose fitting plaid shirt and generously cut jogging bottoms as she made her way to a waiting car.

The mother of two teamed her low key ensemble with a pair of distinctively laced stiletto heeled boots, while a gold choker necklace and matching gold pendant proved to be her only visible accessories.

Walking two steps behind his wife, Kanye’s subdued outfit – a simple grey hoodie and baggy camouflage trousers – appeared to mirror his demeanour.

The divisive rapper, 39, rounded off his relaxed wardrobe with a pair of Yeezy boots from his own, Adidas affiliated range. 

The couple were stepping out after an emotional Kim spoke for the first time of being held at gunpoint during a $10 million robbery at Paris Fashion Week, and husband Kanye's dramatic hospitalization less than two months later.  

The two events will be addressed in this season's Keeping Up With A Kardashians, a teaser trailer released by E! on Friday revealed. 

The 30 second clip lays bare just how harrowing Kim's ordeal was with the 36-year-old visibly distressed.
