Kim Kardashian is on the cover of Vogue India's March issue, and on Monday she shared images from the shoot on Instagram. But some Twitter users feel the reality star and business mogul is the wrong choice for an Indian publication.
Fans are pointing out that in one of the photos, Kardashian wears a traditional lehenga, which is a type of long, embroidered skirt.
But some users are defending the magazine's choice to feature her on the cover.
Vogue India experienced similar backlash when Kendall Jenner appeared on the magazine's May 2017 cover. At the time, publication released a statement on Instagram defending its position, saying in part: "In the last 10 years, Vogue India has had only 12 international covers, including Kendall Jenner, in 2017. Therefore, statistically, 90 per cent [sic] of our covers are Indian! And we are proud of that," it read.
Kardashian has not yet commented on the controversy, but in the interview she spoke about the success of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and revealed what she liked most about each of her family members — including her "perfect" mom, Kris Jenner. "The saris, the jewelry, the clothes — everything was so beautiful!" she said about the shoot.
