Kim Kardashian appeared on her first Indian magazine cover and pictures from the photoshoot have been doing the rounds online. The reality TV star and business magnate posed in an Anita Dongre ensemble for the March issue of Vogue India.
Vogue India and Kardashian shared images from the shoot on Instagram. “Instagram royalty Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) has a fantasy moment in our #March 2018 issue!” the post was captioned.
Kim recently became a mother for the third time, this time through surrogacy. Her half-sister, Kylie Jenner, also welcomed her first child in February.
idc about Kim Kardashian being on vogue India BUT
the only thing that’s annoying is the many brown to dark skin Indians who are underrepresented by their light skinned counterparts????
especially since many of them have just as beautiful (if not more) features

Have you seen the people in offices like Vogue India/fashion industry/Bollywood?
They’re out of touch. They live in their own world. The result?

They picked. Kim.

The general consensus is that the brand could’ve employed an Asian person and Kim is already a prominent figure in magazines and media generally. It also sparked conversations of white washing Indian culture.
It’s worth noting that Vogue India gets talked about the most when it features white women.
