In a more bold look, the businesswoman is rocking a burgundy Alejandra Alonso Rojas dress with a gold Tiffany necklace. Kardashian's style choices are something she credits to her husband, Kanye. She told Vogue that the rapper's taste in fashion is something she admired and followed early into their relationship, which began in 2012. "I've always admired how he's marketed things or come up with ideas for his videos and his looks—he thinks ahead," she said, crediting him as her "go-to stylist." In her Instagram post, the KKW Beauty creator reflects on how having a solo cover for American Vogue has always been a passion of hers. Kardashian also said it was something she knew would happen as she advanced through her career. "I've dreamed of this moment for so long, many said it would never come.

She followed up by sharing some inside shots from the shoot, writing: 'I remember as a little girl flipping through my mom’s subscription each month and dreaming of one day gracing the cover of this iconic magazine.

'Special thank you to my husband Kanye for speaking into existence that one day I would grace the cover of Vogue when everyone told me to be “more realistic.” #dreamsdocometrue #speakitintoexistence #voguemagazine' In her interview Kim discusses her plans to study law, inspired by her time fighting for justice for Alice Marie Johnson who she managed to get released from jail thanks to her successful negotiations with President Trump. Johnson was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole after she was convicted on federal drug and money laundering charges to which she had pleaded not guilty. Dream realized: Kim took to Twitter on Wednesday to reveal her joy at landing her first solo Vogue cover in the US Kim made it her mission to get Johnson freed from jail after she spent 22 years behind bars. And last summer the mother-of-three decided to begin a four-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco and plans to take the bar in 2022. 'I had to think long and hard about this,' Kim said while explaining that she was inspired to learn more about law thanks to a combination of 'seeing a really good result' with Johnson and feeling out of her depth. 'I had attorneys with me who could back that up with all the facts of the case. It’s never one person who gets things done; it’s always a collective of people, and I’ve always known my role, but I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. 'I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.' Vogue beauty: The mother-of-three posed at her palatial home in Calabasas Inspired: Kim talks about her plans to study law after successfully getting Alice Marie Johnson's sentence commuted last year Kim's mom Kris Jenner was asked if she was surprised about Kim's change in life direction, telling Vogue: 'I did not see this one coming. 'What didn’t surprise me was the way she embraced Miss Alice and how she was so hopeful for that outcome. When you find something that you’re that passionate about, it’s not difficult; you don’t have to think about it—it just happens.' Kim also addresses husband Kanye's mental health issues after his psychiatric emergency in 2016, a number of bizarre public appearances and contradicting statements on his mental health diagnoses. The TV personality tells Vogue that Kanye has accepted his bipolar disorder diagnosis now. 'I think we’re in a pretty good place with it now,' she says, adding that Kanye has a newfound sense of purpose. 'I think we’re in a pretty good place with it now,' Kim also discusses Kanye's bipolar diagnosis with Vogue 'It is an emotional process, for sure. Right now everything is really calm. But we can definitely feel episodes coming, and we know how to handle them.' Kim revealed that the Fade hitmaker prefers not to take medication for the disorder and reflected on how difficult it is when people expect her to control what Kanye says or does in the media. 'For him, being on medication is not really an option, because it just changes who he is. Traveling a lot does set it off, so he doesn’t travel as much as he used to. But honestly, I never want to speak for him, because I am not in his mind. 'But I think some of the hurtful things that I read online . . . . What is she doing? She’s not stopping him. . . . Like it’s my fault if he does or says something that they don’t agree with? That’s my husband. I share every opinion that I have and let him know when I think something’s wrong. Or if it comes to him being in the middle of a bipolar episode, I’ll do everything to be supportive and help to calm the situation.' 'For him, being on medication is not really an option, because it just changes who he is. Traveling a lot does set it off, so he doesn’t travel as much as he used to.' Kim said about Kanye Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour was forced to defend her decision to put the reality star and rapper on the cover of her magazine in 2014 when its unveiling was met with huge backlash. Photographed by Annie Leibovitz the cover shot saw Kanye nuzzling into Kim's neck from behind as she posed in a strapless gown. It's been five years since Kim made waves by posing with husband Kanye on the cover of the fashion bible Much of the criticism stemmed from the general opinion that Kim was merely 'famous for being famous'. Wintour penned an editor’s letter defending the decision, writing: 'Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world’s spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that, 'I think we can all agree on the fact that that role is currently being played by Kim and Kanye to a T. (Or perhaps that should be to a K? ). Wintour added: 'There’s barely a strand of the modern media that the Kardashian Wests haven’t been able to master.'<doc-sep>“When he was still fairly new to the relationship, he was like, ‘Can I give you a fashion makeover?’ I was open: Sure! Dress me up! He took me to a Lakers game and he put me in this black Givenchy leather dress and Tom Ford snakeskin shoes and a team of stylists came to my house, and when we came home, there were shoes piled up almost to the ceiling that they had taken out of my closet. I only had two pairs left! I almost started to cry. I spent years collecting those. And then there were racks and racks of clothes, designers I’d never heard of before, like Lanvin or Balmain or Margiela.”<doc-sep>

After the cover was revealed, Kardashian took to Twitter to share her thoughts on it and Kim Kardashian’s tweets about her Vogue cover show just how important this moment is to her. Kardashian opened up about being featured on the cover of Vogue in several tweets posted on April 10. In the first tweet, Kardashian shared the cover of the magazine and how this has all been a dream come true for her. “I’ve dreamed of this moment for so long, many said it would never come,” Kardashian wrote in her tweet. “Words cannot begin to express how much of an honor it is to have my first solo US cover of @VogueMagazine.” In a subsequent tweet, Kardashian revealed how she used to fantasize about being on the cover of Vogue as a little girl. “I remember as a little girl flipping through my mom’s subscription each month and dreaming of one day gracing the cover of this iconic magazine,” Kardashian shared alongside two photos from her Vogue photoshoot. “Thank you to the incredible Anna Wintour for your support as always, it means the world to me.” Here’s a look at Kim Kardashian’s Vogue cover: In another tweet, Kardashian thanked her husband Kanye West for always believing in her. “Special thank you to my husband Kanye for speaking into existence that one day I would grace the cover of Vogue when everyone told me to be 'more realistic.' #dreamsdocometrue #speakitintoexistence #voguemagazine,” Kardashian wrote. In her tweet, she shared a photo of her with her kids from the Vogue photoshoot. So, landing the cover of Vogue was clearly no small feat for Kardashian. Kardashian has other dreams, too, like becoming a lawyer. She talked about this at length when she sat down for an interview with Vogue. After explaining that she had accepted an apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm, Kardashian confirmed that she plans to take the bar exam in 2020. “I had to think long and hard about this,” she explained. Apparently Kardashian felt like she was in over her head when she was working to free Alice Marie Johnson from prison and found herself among people of power. “The White House called me to advise to help change the system of clemency and I’m sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, Oh, sh*t. I need to know more,” Kardashian explained. Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images She continued, “I would say what I had to say, about the human side and why this is so unfair. But I had attorneys with me who could back that up with all the facts of the case. It’s never one person who gets things done; it’s always a collective of people, and I’ve always known my role, but I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more." Wow, Kardashian seems really committed to making a difference in the world. It’s nice to see that she’s found something she’s really passionate about and she’s pursuing it to the fullest of her ability. Go Kim!
