Cover model, CEO, and criminal-justice reformer kimkardashian first and foremost devotes herself to her children. Glittering as she is, to North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, she's just 'Mommy,' even during her March cover shoot. Read the full profile:
It’s the first week of January, after another holiday thrown into chaos by COVID, and the winter sun is starting to set behind ateam gathered to photograph Kim Kardashian and her four children in the parklike grounds of Kim’s modernist Hidden Hills, California, estate. We’re only 20 minutes north of the thrum of Los Angeles, though you’d never know it watching the cottontail bunnies dart between hedges.
Saint, whom Kim calls The Negotiator, perhaps sees how amenable—and distracted, with cameras whirring—his mother is and whispers a higher price into her ear.Roblox?” faux-gasps the CEO of two billion-dollar companies, Skims and a relaunching beauty line . She cuts deals in short order, managing to give each child her undivided attention without ever losing her cool—her superpower, she tells me, is staying calm in any situation.
The kitchen is a serene oasis of neutral tones, like the rest of this minimalist retreat designed by Belgian Axel Vervoordt, who has created interiors for Sting, Robert De Niro, and Calvin Klein. The house was purchased by Kim and Kanye in 2014 and took almost seven years to renovate—coincidentally, the length of their marriage.
While Kim’s generosity has stayed intact for the four decades of her life, a certain “zero fucks given” attitude has come with age. It’s a family tradition, according to Kim’s older sister, Kourtney, who, at age 42, recently got engaged for the first time to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. “When Kim and I each turned 40, we got all these text messages from our grandmother and our cousin and people over 40,” she says. “They were like, You’re going to have the best sex of your life.
In lieu of throwing her phone in the ocean, Kim changed her number, to alleviate the guilt she feels for not responding quickly to everyone, which she considers rude. While it represents a small way in which the self-professed “people pleaser” has decided to choose herself, there have been seismic changes as well.
About Chowchilla, she says, “Literally every crime the women I spoke to had committed was for their significant other. I heard stories like, ‘My boyfriend told me to pick this up. And I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t question him.’ ” She pauses to eat a green bean with uncanny precision. “I was like, Wow, I probably would’ve done the same.”“She’s a triple threat,” Jackson explains. “She gets the comms and marketing aspect. She gets the legal issues.
This year happens to be the 60th anniversary of Monroe’s death, and it’s helpful to consider Marilyn and Kim in parallel when contemplating the latter’s influence. There is the body analogue, those hyperbolically female, hourglass forms. There’s Marilyn’s look: platinum coif, red lips, beauty mark—as unmistakable as Kim’s dark liquid hair, contoured cheeks, and enigmatic gaze. But above all, they both possess a paradoxical beauty of fantasy and reality intertwined.
For every person who credits Kim as a positive influence, however, it seems there’s another who attributes the most toxic aspects of the beauty zeitgeist to her and her sisters. Body dysmorphia. Eating disorders. Plastic surgery. To her critics, she’s Eve offering up a forbidden apple, ruining all that’s innocent. As Kim nibbles on the pretzel roll from the bread basket, I ask about this dark side of her cultural power.“Everything,” she says, finishing my sentence.
