Her new book features over 400 pages of selfies she’s taken for nearly a decade. But Kim Kardashian doesn’t want her adoring fans taking their own self-taken snapshots while plugging the new hardcover. The 34-year-old reportedly banned selfies at her book signing at the Barnes & Noble on Fifth Avenue in New York City on Tuesday.

According to a report from Yahoo yesterday, the restriction was likely enforced to keep the long line moving as some followers even camped out for the chance to meet her on Monday night, while the wife of Kanye West partied the night away at the Met Gala.

Oddly enough, the selfie was banned at last night’s gala in an effort apparently spearheaded by chair of the event and Vogue editor-in-chief: Anna Wintour.

According to Page Six, all attendees of this year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Gala received notice upon arrival that ‘‘the use of phones for photography and social media will not be permitted’ throughout the event.

It’s interesting that Kim would put this restriction on her fans as she did not follow the rules made by the 65-year-old fashion icon.

The reality star took to Instagram to share seven photos from the star-studded gala, including one actual selfie.

Upon arrival at the event held at the bookstore, Kim posed for photos as she held up her new hard-cover portrait photography book, which released on Tuesday.

The wife of rapper Kanye West flaunted her famous curves in a stunning white ensemble consisting of a figure-hugging lace top and a split white skirt. Body forming Spanx were also visible.

She wore her raven-coloured tresses elegantly slicked back as she sported natural, complimentary make-up on her face topped off with a swipe of shiny pink lip. After the quick photo session, she sat behind a wooden table to begin signing books with a permanent Sharpie marker for her adoring fans. Next to the desk was a large poster board featuring the cover of the hard-cover emblazoned on it, which featured plenty of cleavage.

In the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar, she talked about the project.

‘‘I started taking pictures years ago, around 2006, and I kept them, all organized on my computer in folders,’’ she said.

‘‘We didn’t call them selfies back then. I had no idea what I was saving, just memories, really. It took a minute to figure out exactly what order to put them in. First we had it separated by glam selfies, selfies with friends, selfies with sisters, and sexy selfies, but then we decided that it made more sense to do it chronologically.’’ — dailymail.
