Kim Kardashian West Wore a Sheer Tank Top on Her Epic New Vogue Cover

It's been five years since Kim Kardashian West landed her first American Vogue cover, which she shared with then-fiancée Kanye West. Now Kardashian West has the cover all to herself for the newly released May 2019 issue of the magazine. The cover features a pared-down—and sopping-wet—outfit consisting of a sheer Chanel tank top and simple Irene Neuwirth chain necklace. Who knew that wardrobe basics could look so Vogue-worthy?
In the accompanying interview, Kardashian West discusses how she helped secure clemency for Alice Marie Johnson, which required a visit to the White House. You might have seen the black suit she wore while meeting with the president, but she had one special accessory with her as well. "I bought Jackie Kennedy Onassis's watch at auction," she told Vogue. "I wore it when I went to the White House. It gave me some power: Let's get in there and get this done!" How's that for the ultimate power piece? Scroll down to preview her new Vogue cover.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
