Kim Kardashian’s butt-baring Interview cover sparks shade, memes
Red, white and booty.
Kim Kardashian bared her internet-breaking butt in a jockstrap on the cover of Interview magazine’s September 2022 issue Monday with windswept, bleach-blond hair and eyebrows to match, reminiscent of her Marilyn Monroe-inspired Met Gala look. For the magazine’s American Dream issue, the 41-year-old mom of four posed in Bottega Veneta jeans — pulled down to expose her rear — and a matching denim jacket, against a backdrop of a giant American flag. And fans were quick to throw praise, shade and plenty of memes with comparisons to the Wayans brothers in their 2004 film “White Chicks,” Uma Thurman, Lady Gaga, YouTuber Jeffree Star and even her stepparent, Caitlyn Jenner.
“Why I thought that was one of the Wayans brothers on ‘White Chicks?’ ” one fan noted on Twitter, referring to the comedy in which Shawn and Marlon Wayans play FBI agents who go undercover as white women.
Fans noted Kardashian’s face was reminiscent of Lady Gaga’s and Uma Thurman’s, while her toned derrière garnered dozens of fire emojis from commenters. The Skims founder attributed her toned assets to her plant-based diet, saying she works out and ditches meat as much as possible.
“I feel really good in my own skin these days, so maybe that comes through,” Kardashian told the glossy, noting her confidence to show more skin for the issue.
“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,” she said.
Kardashian told Interview she planned to keep her bleached tresses for a bit, before going back to a darker look in the fall.
“I do think blondes have more fun. I just feel different,” she said.
Still, others couldn’t shake the natural born brunette’s blond ambition.
“This is ‘the new haircut’ after a break up for rich people,” a commenter noted on Twitter.
Kardashian, who recently split with Pete Davidson, 28, spoke fondly of the former “Saturday Night Live” star calling him a “cutie” in the interview.
“He’s literally such a good person, they don’t really make them like him anymore. I’m excited for what he has coming up,” she said.
Other critics jokingly mistook Kardashian for her stepparent, Caitlyn Jenner, while another noted they thought she was YouTuber and makeup artist Jeffree Star.
“Now she look like Caitlyn Jenner before she was Caitlyn,” one user wrote.
“Legit thought this was Jeffrey Star [sic] and was confused why it was in my feed. Still confused, but at least I know who it is now,” one user noted.
Star, meanwhile, didn’t miss a beat to chime in tweeting Monday morning: “I don’t remember ever doing this photoshoot.”
The risqué patriotic pose had some joking that the lawyer-to-be and social justice advocate could be hitting the campaign trail.
“Campaign starting Oct. 1,” another user tweeted.
Another supporter commented on Instagram: “Kim K for president.”
