The reality TV star was spotted in New York City heading to the set of “Ocean’s Eight,” where she will have a cameo appearance with her half-sister, Kendall Jenner.

Kardashian West will reportedly appear in a recreated Met Gala scene filmed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the upcoming film that stars Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson and Mindy Kaling. The scene’s main theme is a jewelry heist at the event.

According to Page Six, it is unclear if Kardashian West will play a victim or just be a face in the crowd.

Recently, Kardashian West opened up about the October robbery in Paris where two thieves entered her hotel room, tied her up and threw her in a bathtub before taking off with nearly $10 million worth of jewelry. Kardashian West was so traumatized by the incident, she took a three month break from social media and canceled several appearances.

“We were surprised Kim showed up for filming. She had seemed totally traumatized by her Paris robbery. But then she’ll still appear in a movie that glamorizes a jewelry heist,” a source told the gossip column.

A representative for Kardashian West confirmed she will make an appearance in the film but did not comment further.
