When you and your fiancé are on the cover of the world's most
prestigious fashion magazine, you want to pick up some extra copies,
too. So it should come no surprise that Kim Kardashian is stocking up.
On Tuesday, the 33-year-old reality star-turned-mogul was snapped in Studio City buying copies of the April issue of Vogue… a lot of copies.
Joined by Kendall Jenner, who also grabbed a handful of magazines, Kim
piled copies of the glossy periodical in her arms. North's mom looked
totally at ease in a navy blouse, black skirt, and wine colored coat as
she perused the newsstand. Of course, her gigantic engagement ring was
on full display as "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" cameras followed
her around the shop.
Though Kim and Kanye's
wedding-themed cover sparked mixed reactions across the board (remember
when Sarah Michelle Gellar threatened to cancel
her subscription?), the issue is on track to sell a whopping 300,000 to
400,000 copies. Just as a reference, this would make it one of the
magazine's best-selling issues of all time. Previous famous faces who
have elicited such high sales figures include Michelle Obama and
Beyoncé. In other words, it seems Anna Wintour knows what she's doing
and Kim's fans are beating out her haters —at least in this regard.
(Though she's obviously doing her part to bolster those sales figures as
well.)
It's probably worth mentioning that Kim also picked up Allure, Harper's Bazaar, and the "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
But let's be honest, is she really going to get to any of those? Now that she seems to have entered full-on wedding planning mode,
we can't imagine she has much time for leisure reading. She'll probably
just paper her walls with the Vogue cover for inspiration for her big
day… not that we blame her.
