In true Kardashian fashion, this cover shoot was sprinkled with a number of unique, eye-grabbing elements. The business mogul had the opportunity to truly embody the SKIMS brand by wearing her design, and promoting the label.

Kardashian’s nude SKIMS bikini was perfectly accented with long, sheer gloves, which added an element of fresh stylistic creativity to the photos. She is one of four models featured in the 2022 Swimsuit edition, and appears alongside model Ciara, Elon Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, and rising model Yumi Nu.(RELATED: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Olivia Culpo’s Lace-Up, Backless Western Top And Cowboy Hat Combo Might Be The Best Ever)
