Kim Kardashian-West is set to grace a GQ Magazine cover for its 'Love, Sex and Madness' issue.
Within the edition, Kim is said to reveal more to the public about her personal life, describe her marriage with Kanye West, as well as offer more insight regarding her business side. The cover of the magazine reflects the revealing nature of the interview with the star, with Kim covering herself minimally with a leather garment and staring into the camera with a soft and inviting expression.
Showing off her post-pregnancy body, Kim exposes her iconic curves in a way that expresses her body-positive nature while also appealing to the brand's heterosexual male buyers. With the GQ Magazine cover, Kim shows again how widespread her influence is -- with her inclusion also likely prompting readers outside of the brand's target demographic to pick up a copy for themselves.
