Kendall Jenner isn’t just covering Vogue this month.
The 20-year old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is covering a very special issue of Vogue.
Posing for renowned photographer by Mario Testino, Kendall is seen here on the front of American Vogue, donning a pair of black bikini bottoms and an off-the-shoulder red and black crop top.
As you can see, she’s also giving the camera a seductive smirk as she shows off her flat stomach and toned legs.
For this mini, unique issue of the magazine, Jenner opens up about a number of topics, starting with her wild social media success.
What is the key to earning so many followers, aside rarely wearing clothing online?
“It has to be organic. It means you really can’t plan it out,” she lies says about her Instagram photo strategy.
Let’s take her most famous image, for example, the snapshot that is the most-liked picture in Instagram history.
Speaking of the photo above, Kendall explains that she was on a yacht near Monaco with Kylie Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid and Hailey Baldwin when they chose to screw around and arrange her hair in a group of hearts.
“I was having a bad day. I wasn’t in the flow. I was like, ‘Everyone sucks.’ That’s when I did my best image.
“I was lying in bed and messing with it. And I thought, ‘Is this good?’ And I just posted it, and I remember looking at it right away and having a lot of likes and saying, ‘Huh."”
So that’s the key, people.
Just go hang out on a yacht with your famous friends and perhaps you, too, can strike Instagram gold.
Jenner also says to leave a little bit of “mystery” for your followers.
“You don’t want to do too many posts,” she explains. “You want to leave them wanting to come back.”
As she has noted in the past, Kendall says social media is “not real life” and even dubs the craze over her pictures to be “crazy.”
Two other topics touched on in the cover story include:
- Her famous father: “My dad is just my dad.”
- Why she wants to create a non-profit foundation of some kind: “[Giving back is] something my family has always been into, whether it’s charities or working at soup kitchens. I have a number of different issues I’m interested in, and I love animals.
