Kim Kardashian is in her leading lady era!

On Wednesday, March 4, The Kardashians star, 45, was pictured on the set of her upcoming Netflix comedy — The Fifth Wheel — alongside her costar Will Ferrell.

The SKIMS founder sported a bejweled bodysuit and feather headpiece as she transformed into a Las Vegas showgirl for her role in the movie, while Ferrell, 58, was nearly unrecognizable in a long blonde wig and beard.

The duo could be seen filming outside a venue and on a sidewalk, with Kardashian appearing to hand something to Ferrell.

A purple car featuring Ferrell’s character with the name “Brad” printed across it was also nearby.

Kardashian teamed her red and black corseted bodysuit with long red gloves, a red and black glittery cape and a pair of sparkly black heels. Meanwhile, Ferrell’s look consisted of black leather pants and a shirt with sheer sleeves and silver rings on each of his fingers.

According to the movie’s official logline, The Fifth Wheel follows a group of high school best friends as they “attempt to reconnect during a weekend jaunt to Vegas. When a hot outsider (played by Kim Kardashian) crashes the weekend, they’re forced to face their messy lives, bad decisions, and unraveling friendships.”

Kardashian and Ferrell are also producing the movie, which is being directed by Eva Longoria, while the likes of Nikki Glaser, Fortune Feimster, Brenda Song, Jack Whitehall, Casey Wilson and Scott MacArthur make up the cast. Back in January, Netflix shared a first look image at the film with a photo of Kardashian, Glaser, Feimster and Song all posing on the back of a truck.

PEOPLE previously reported that Kardashian was starring in and producing the female-driven comedy in November 2023. According to Variety, the movie is being filmed in L.A.

The film marks Kardashian’s first leading film role. Her move into feature film acting comes after she starred in Hulu’s legal drama All’s Fair as lawyer Allura Grant, and the most recent season of FX’s American Horror Story, in which she played a publicist named Siobhan who works for Emma Roberts‘s actress character Anna Victoria Alcott.

Back in January, Kardashian admitted she was “overwhelmed” amid the harsh criticism of All’s Fair, which also stars her American Horror Story costar Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, Naomi Watts and Teyana Taylor.

“I was like, overwhelmed,” Kim told her sister Khloé Kardashian during an appearance on her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast. “I’m a firm believer in addressing something head on and quickly. Whether it’s naming Kimono and then changing it to SKIMS and acting quickly. I hear you.”

“Sometimes I wish I did act more quickly,” she added of addressing rumors or backlash. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m not gonna give it attention because I can’t sit there all day and shut everything down. And then sometimes I get annoyed enough and I’m like …. Sometimes you just have to give a statement. It depends on my mood.”

Kim made her onscreen acting debut in the 2008 spoof movie Disaster Movie. She has also appeared in films like Ocean’s Eight, Deep in the Valley and Tyler Perry’s 2013 film Temptation: Confession of a Marriage Counselor, in addition to a number of television and film appearances as herself.
