No matter if you're a newly-discovered Bambi-legged model or a global superstar on the scale of Rihanna, bagging a Vogue cover carries the ultimate cachet, and now the world's most famous reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, can add the role to her CV.
The curvaceous 31-year-old was photographed looking uncannily like her mother and manager, Kris Jenner, for the July/August issue of L'Uomo Vogue , the Italian Condé Nast title dedicated to men's style.
Ready For Her Close-Up: Kim Kardashian
"My mother has always been the social glue holding the family together" Kim says, "she's a very dynamic woman who loves organizing parties, playing tennis, cooking with friends and relaxing in the pool."

Revelations in the accompanying interview show Kim to be the owner of 224 pairs of Christian Louboutin heels, and a rather odd superstitious disposition: "I always put clothes and family photos under the mattress, in case the house burns down".

Equally unexpected is the fact that she was a self-confessed eBay fanatic, which stemmed from her early 'career' as a fashion and look organiser for celebrities: "I began with a mother's friend who had a huge amount of fabulous clothes; there were so many she was never able to wear them all. Then I did the same with my wardrobe, and anything I didn't want I sold on eBay, and in a short time became a true eBay-addict."
One would assume that with two fashion lines, five perfumes, a DVD and a book, K.K. is far too tied-up to be faffing around with a USB port and uploading pictures of her cast-offs, but that's actually not the case - she has a dedicated store on the site , and part of the proceeds go to the chairty Life Change Community Church.
So congratulations Kim, may the fashion force (stay) with you.
