Kim Kardashian Bared Her Butt for the American Dream Issue of Interview

May 2024 · 2 minute read

What’s more American than Kim Kardashian’s most famous asset? According to Interview magazine, nothing. 

The 41-year-old and her bare butt grace the cover of the magazine’s “American Dream”–themed September issue, which was revealed on September 6. 

For the cover, which Kardashian shared on Instagram alongside more pics and some behind-the-scenes footage, the Skims founder posed in a cropped denim jacket and wide-leg jeans worn over a jockstrap. She wore her blonde locks in a Farrah Fawcett≠like feathered cut, and added some fluffy bleached brows to boot. (See the pics here.)

The entire shoot, photographed by Nadia Lee Cohen and styled by Mel Ottenberg, is serving Fast Times at Ridgemont High—specifically the images of Kardashian posing in front of gym lockers while wearing the same jockstrap exposed under orange sweatpants.

There’s also a nod to Marilyn Monroe, with whom Kardashian famously shared a dress, in a photo of Kardashian pulling down a white Interview T-shirt while being fanned from below, à la the iconic subway grate. And it wouldn’t be the “American Dream” without a leather jacket and an American-flag-printed white thong. 

In her accompanying interview with editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg, Kardashian opens up about her blonde phase (“I am keeping it for a little bit. I feel like in the fall I’ll go dark, just because I don’t want to damage my hair. But I do think blondes have more fun. I just feel different”), her forthcoming true-crime podcast for Spotify (“It’s called The System. The first season is about a really crazy case where a guy got the death sentence for a triple homicide that happened in Ohio”), and her law school journey (“I have to study two hours every day with my professor. I don’t have a day off from that”).
