New York: Kim Kardashian is on the cover of the next issue of American Vogue, the magazine announced Friday, thrilling the reality TV starlet and unleashing a torrent of Twitter outrage among fashionistas.
Kardashian, 33, appears in a strapless gown in the arms of her fiance, hip hop maestro Kanye West, over the headline: "Kim and Kanye: Their Fashionable Life and Surreal Times" and hashtag #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple.
On the inside pages, the couple appear in photographs by Annie Leibovitz walking down a desert highway and lounging in a private jet. Their nine-month-old daughter North West also makes a cameo appearance.
"This is such a dream come true!!! Thank you @VogueMagazine for this cover! O M GGGGGG!!! I can`t even breath!" tweeted the star of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" on her @KimKardashian account.
West -- who told an interviewer in 2013 there was "no way" Kardashian shouldn`t be on Vogue`s cover -- was equally pleased, telling his @kanyewest followers: "#TRILL Thank you @voguemagazine."
Fashion enthusiasts flocked to Twitter as well to challenge the logic of Vogue editor Anna Wintour making a sophisticated cover girl out of a Hollywood celebrity who more regularly appears in downmarket tabloids.
"Hell hath frozen over," tweeted Canadian fashion magazine Flare, while style bloggers Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez said: "This is NOTHING about fashion."
Twitter user @ahDORIble posted that: "The last ounce of respect I had for Anna Wintour and Vogue is officially gone."
The April issue of Vogue (www.vogue.com), with a "spring chic" theme, hits newsstands on March 31, a week after the release of its digital version.
