Kim Kardashian was cool, calm and creepy in a new trailer for the finale of American Horror Story: Delicate, released by FX on Friday the 13th.
The makeup mogul, 42, who plays mysterious publicist Siobhan Corbyn, kept her composure during a few intense conversations, including one with her client, actress Anna Victoria Alcott (Emma Roberts).
At the beginning of the short clip, Kim’s character of Siobhan looked like she stepped off a red carpet in a stunning sleeveless gown as she grilled Anna Victoria about her ultimate goal in Hollywood.
‘Do you want an Oscar,’ Kim cooly asked Emma over the phone.
After Emma answers ‘Yes.’ Kim added, ‘Do you want it as much as a baby?’
The trailer then kicked off into a chilling montage of Emma struggling through her pregnancy as she was seen in a hospital bed, screaming, ‘I can’t live in this much pain.’
After Emma confronted her husband and told him to ‘admit’ that he believed she ‘made everything up,’ Kim was back in business behind a laptop and asked, ‘Paranoid much?’
As mysterious figures kidnapped Emma and invaded the maternity ward, Kim was confronted by a man as he chillingly asked her, ‘WHO the hell are you?’
Kim’s true identity may be revealed in the final episode of Delicate Part 1 on Wednesday.
The latest look comes less than two weeks after FX released a chilling shot of her with a giant black widow spider attached to her torso, with its spindly legs wrapping around her body.
AHS: Delicate is a screen adaptation of the horror book Delicate Condition, authored by Danielle Valentine.
The plot revolves around Anna, an actress who has undergone several IVF treatments. She becomes increasingly paranoid, suspecting enigmatic forces are thwarting her efforts to conceive.
However, her concerns are dismissed by everyone, including her husband.
‘It is essentially a horror novel about pregnancy,’ Valentine told Entertainment Weekly.
‘It’s a novel exploring not just the actual physical gruesomeness of what pregnancy is, but also the medical gaslighting that even modern, very privileged women experience as they’re going through their pregnancies and the symptoms that I feel we as a culture still don’t talk about for strange reasons.’
The author added that she was more inspired by Alien than Rosemary’s Baby when penning the book.
Kim has previously shared her enthusiasm for appearing on the iconic horror anthology during an interview with Variety in May.
‘It’s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow. I’m so excited for the experience,’ Kim told the outlet.
She added that she was taking acting classes to prepare, saying, ‘I like to challenge myself.’
Creator Ryan Murphy previously gushed about the star and her acting talents.
‘Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family,” Murphy said in a statement.
‘(Showrunner) Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.’
Her costar Zachary Quinto had nothing but praise for the mother four as well.
‘She was so lovely and warm,’ he revealed to reporters at the Tribeca Film Festival in June.
‘She seemed really in her element and I was really impressed by her spirit and her openness. I think she’s gonna do a wonderful job.’
Kim’s costars on the series also include Matt Czuchry as Dexter Harding Jr.; Annabelle Dexter-Jones as Sonia Shawcross; Michaela Jaé Rodriguez as Nicolette; and Cara Delevingne playing the role of Ivy.
American Horror Story was created by Murphy and Brad Falchuk in 2011.
It has become a defining part of the horror genre’s recent history, with 12 seasons to date.
Each season offers a unique, self-contained storyline with recurring actors like Emma, Zachary, Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters.
