Kim Kardashian Rocks a Jockstrap on Her Latest Magazine Cover

Kim Kardashian put on quite the show for Interview magazine. Eight years after her viral, bum-baring Paper magazine cover was revealed to the world, the Skims founder now fronts the September 2022 "American Dream" issue in a jockstrap. She wears the cheeky design with a blue leather denim look by Bottega Veneta, consisting of a jacket and loose-fitting jeans pulled down low enough to reveal her derrière. The matching set recently debuted on Bottega Veneta's fall 2022 catwalk, imagined by newly appointed creative director Matthieu Blazy.

Kardashian's platinum-blond hair is matched to her bleached eyebrows, and her rosy cheeks and lips finish off the beauty look. Behind her, the American flag serves as a complementary backdrop. Additional images from the shoot, taken by Nadia Lee Cohen, feature the business mogul in several other pieces that reflect the Americana theme. In one shot, she wears a white tank top and baggy jeans by Bottega Veneta. In another image, she models a red latex bodysuit by Norma Kamali with a black spiked Gucci choker. She also poses in a thong printed with the US flag and a black leather jacket by Saint Laurent.

When asked about sporting the white jockstrap for the cover, Kardashian told Editor in Chief Mel Ottenberg, "Oh my god. I loved it. The team was like, 'No jockstrap.' And I'm like, 'Come on. This is what I do.' I do best when I'm ignoring them and doing what I want. So, I'm glad we did it." During her interview, the 41-year-old star opened up about the state of the country, her career plans, and her personal style (which is currently marked by a series of popular Balenciaga ensembles and accessories). She is also the face of Balenciaga's latest campaign, for which she models a backless blue cutout gown and a flower-printed midi dress.
