While there is no denying that Kim looks great in both of the shots, her appearance sparked a negative conversation. Raising questions for why she was picked over someone of South Asian descent. Cherry on the top, many are also furious about the photo shoot as she is wearing a lehenga, traditional Indian clothing.

Shortly after the cover launched, the publication issued a statement saying, ”In the last 10 years, Vogue India has had only 12 international covers, including Kendall Jenner in 2017,Therefore, statistically, 90% of our covers are Indian! And we are proud of that. India has given the world so many beautiful faces to admire. After all, we are Vogue, an international brand, and we want to give the love back by featuring some of the best international celebrities on our covers. Occasionally!”
