Kim Kardashian

Was Kim Kardashian too fat for Harper's Bazaar? How Vogue's rival hoped to feature then-pregnant reality star on its cover first - before deciding she looked too 'overweight'

Kim Kardashian may be on the cover of this month’s Vogue, but she was originally slated to star on the February cover of Harper’s Bazaar instead, it has been revealed.
According to WWD, Bazaar’s editor-in-chief Glenda Bailey had planned to feature Ms Kardashian in a close-up ‘beauty’ shot on the cover because the then-pregnant reality star appeared ‘overweight’.
Ms Kardashian was apparently unhappy with this treatment, as well as Bazaar’s idea to have the controversial photographer Terry Richardson produce the shoot.

Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter was also reportedly interested in featuring Ms Kardashian, and held a one-hour meeting with senior staffers to debate the merits of putting her on the magazine’s cover, according to the paper.
These discussions ended when rumors of Ms Kardashian’s Vogue shoot began to enter the public conversation in early 2014.
During Ms Kardashian’s appearance on Late Night with Seth Myers earlier this week she told the host of her Vogue cover: ‘I didn't know it would be the cover. I knew I was doing it. It was such a secret that I didn't tell my sisters. It was this top secret mission.
