Kendall Jenner swaps hijab for a bikini on tour of United Arab Emirates with Hollywood's new brat pack
Kendall Jenner has posted a racy bikini selfie while on tour of the United Arab Emirates.
The 19-year-old reality star and model posed up in a skimpy brown two-piece while in a Dubai hotel and shared the snap with her Instagram fans on New Year's Eve.
She captioned the picture: 'Dubyeeee 2014.'
It was a return to form for the rising supermodel, who was among a group of young Hollywood stars who donned traditional abayas and hijabs while visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi on Monday.

Kendall was joined by Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Shay Mitchell, Victoria's Secret model Devon Windsor and Gigi's singer boyfriend Cody Simpson for their first tourist stop during their New Year's Eve holiday week.
The mosque, which is the largest in the United Arab Emirates, can accommodate as many as 40,000 people. The tradition is Sunni Islam and the mosque is the key place of worship on Friday gathers and Eid prayers.
Celebrity visitors such as Rihanna - who took glamorous photos in front of the mosque in 2013 - have been criticized in the past for violating the rules on the 'status and sanctity of the mosque.'
Jenner, Hadid, Gomez and their friends were dressed in customary UAE clothes including long black robes and scarves to cover most of their faces.

Kendall and Gigi took a playful photo with their friends inside the beautiful mosque which is adorned with gold-accented white columns.
Cody, 17, appeared to be the only male in the party and was dressed extremely casually in a faded pair of denim jeans, grey T-shirt, black leather motorcycle jacket and matching hat.
The young stars took to their Instagram accounts to share their postcard-like snapshots from the outing.
Gigi posted a stunning selfie of her and best friend Kendall wearing scarves over their heads with Kendall covering her face with a sheer crystal embroidered wrap.
'Incredible place,' the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star captioned a photo of the exterior facade of the mosque.

She also posted a photo from her breakfast date with Gigi and her boyfriend in which she humorously wrote: 'I'm third wheeling HARD.'
Selena also chronicled her tourist visit on her Instagram page posting a group selfie that featured Kendall and Gigi in the upper left corner.
Gigi's on/off love. Australian singer Cody tweeted on December 26 that he and his 'mates' were going to be venturing on an unbelievable in holiday.
Postcard worthy: The young stars' first stop in their holiday was the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
In October 2013 Rihanna was lambasted for posing in front of The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in a fashionable and tailored black jumper that had a matching head wrap.
The Barbados-born pop icon was branded 'disrespectful' for using the mosque as a backdrop for her glamorous photos. The Diamonds singer was in full make-up and bold jewelry as well for her shoot.
'Dubai bound with some mates. New Years will be mental. Then a little Maldives surf action,' he wrote.
The on-again couple and Kendall were seen departing for their flight at Los International Airport that same day.
