Kim Kardashian has channelled Jackie O during a shoot for the latest cover of Interview Magazine, with the title 'America's New First Lady'. 

The Keeping up with the Kardashians star shared the cover on Twitter, and posted images from inside the September issue on both Twitter and Instagram.  

In the cover photo, shot by photographer Steven Klein, the 36-year-old sports a short brunette wig, a high-collared white dress and gloves to emulate the former first lady. 

She appears on the cover with her daughter North West. 

"For this shoot I wanted to capture feminine beauty as an expression of empowerment and self-respect," Klein said in a press release. "Also, to highlight Kim in a chic manner that is retrospective of a time and yet modern. As a model, Kim is a chameleon. She can easily change accordingly to the set intention and with little effort. It is her gift: her innate relationship to the camera. A muse of modern times."

 

In the issue, Kardashian said she's sick of herself and her family being underestimated by the public. 

"Now when I hear, 'They're so not talented,' ten years into it I'm kind of like, 'Okay, give a girl a little respect.' If I'm so not talented, if I do nothing, then how is my career my reality? And I poke fun at it, like when I was on the cover of Forbes I posted the hashtag #NotBadForAGirlWithNoTalent. I don't mind being underestimated because it does fuel me. But after a while, I do feel like, 'C'mon, you can recognise a little bit.'

"You can say a lot of things about me, but you cannot say I don't work hard," she added. "I don't sing. I don't dance. I don't act. But I am not lazy."
