Having openly admitted she was 'dreading' turning 32, the reality star went on to have the 'best birthday ever!'
And as she returned to New York after this weekend's surprise whirlwind trip to Italy, Kim was in for yet another treat.
After flying in, she immediately changed into a plunging cobalt blue gown to accompany her rapper beau Kanye West to the Angel Ball.
With her gown cut to the thigh with two slits, Kim looked every inch the (blue) belle of the ball.
The gown opened as she walked to reveal the extra height of her black platforms.
There was no hint of any jetlag behind Kim's perfect make up and curled hair as she smiled happily on the arm of her lover.
Kanye was equally snazzy in a bow tie and tails. He looked admiring at Kim as they posed together leaving their hotel.
As they got to the event Kim then took him by the arm and pulled him onto the red carpet to join her
Inside the charity bash Kim was surprised by a chocolate birthday cake.
She blew out the candles before turning to Kanye with a huge smile, which he returned in a rare unguarded moment.
At the Angel Ball the couple joined a host of the stars at the fundraiser for Gabrielle's Angel Foundation at Cipriani Wall Street.
With the night's entertainment provided by Natalie Cole, Smokey Robinson, Nelly and DJ Cassidy, other celebs offering up their support to the amazing cause included Gerard Butler, David Arquette, Ashanti, Jessica Stam, Robert Buckley, Jane Seymour, Solange Knowles, Stephanie Pratt, Liza Minnelli, Holland Roden and Crystal Renn.
