Forget about the Game Of Thrones season 7 finale and Taylor Swift’s Look What You Made Me Do video for a second, because we need to talk about Kim Kardashian for a second – and specifically her Interview magazine cover.
The 36 year old has posed as Jackie O aka Jackie Kennedy for the magazine, but people on Twitter aren’t crazy about it.

Firstly, folk weren’t sure that Kim should be channelling such a beloved icon, especially as the magazine was claiming Kim was “America’s new first lady”.
I'm assuming "Interview" magazine is a parody. Next cover should be Kanye "channeling" Einstein. Hysterical.

I'm very appalled by the cover of interview magazine with Kim Kardashian posing as Jackie Onassis. Very disrespectful!

I'm a Kim kardashian fan but that cover of interview is si laughable to the point of ridiculus

And secondly a few people questioned the fact that it looked like Kim’s skin had been darkened to match her daughter North’s, who also stars in the photoshoot.
Kinda uncomfortable looking at @KimKardashian shoot in her @InterviewMag photos shot by @SKstudly why is her skin much darker...? #confused

Kim took to Instagram before the magazine premiered the shoot to share a behind the scenes snap of her and North.

She captioned it: “Just wanted to thank @stevenkleinstudio for pushing me to do a shoot that was very different & powerful & allowed me to pay homage to the iconic Jackie Kennedy who I admire & respect!”
In the interview, Kim speaks about people still insisting she has no talent. She admits that, yes, in the typical sense of being famous, she isn't a singer or an actress etc, but she clearly works hard.
"You can say a lot of things about me, but you cannot say I don’t work hard. I don’t sing. I don’t dance. I don’t act. But I am not lazy.
