Early April fools joke? Nah! This is for real! Kim Kardashian’s Vogue cover dream finally came true thanks to Kanye West’s relentless negotiation with Anna Wintour to get her on the cover which could infact garner more respect for his fiancee in the fashion industry. But alas! Kanye himself made an appearance on the cover alongside his Mrs to be. They are set to wed on May 24 in Paris. This would be Kim’s 3rd time down the aisle. You know what they say, third time is a charm. We wish them happiness and longevity in this union. They even managed to break barriers by being the first interracial couple on the cover and Kanye as the first rapper! Hip! Hip! Hip! Hooray!
Needless to say, Anna/Vogue benefits greatly from this as well. Not only will this cover get so much press, you can also guarantee Kim to post it on her social media page where she has over 50 million following. The cover even came complete with a suggested hashtag! I had to do a double take thinking this was People or US Weekly magazine! Well, Marketing! Marketing! Marketing! Everybody wins! Watch the behind the scene video footage below.
Anna Wintour explains in the issue’s editor’s letter page the thinking behind her decision to feature Kim on the cover, “Part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it.”
I think that pretty much defines Lupita at this point as well. So when do we see Lupita Nyong’o (Oscar winner) on the cover Anna? Eagerly waiting!
