She accepted Instagram to announce the store’s grand opening and give her 362 million followers a glimpse into the interior.

‘NOW OPEN: SKIMS GEORGETOWN. Visit our first permanent location at: 3300 M Street NW Georgetown, Washington, DC 20007. Hours: Mon-Sat: 10am – 8pm Sun: 11am – 7pm,” she wrote in the caption.

According to WWDthe brand will roll out four additional physical locations in Aventura, Florida; Austin and Houston, Texas; and Atlanta, Georgia.

The location had a minimalist design and had a nude theme throughout the store.
