Kim Kardashian 'CR Fashion Book' PHOTOS: North West Baby Bump Revealed; Wears Grills & Margiela Mask
Kim Kardashian is on the cover of the new issue of Carine Roitfeld's CR Fashion Book, revealing a then-pregnant belly.
The 32-year-old new mom of North West and Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality star posed for a series of steamy black and white covers shot by Karl Lagerfeld back in May, one month before she gave birth to baby North in June.
After teasing it's new cover girl online Tuesday, the reveal is just in time for Fashion Week.
On the cover, Kardashian is wearing gold grils. Inside the magazine, she poses with her very pregnant belly, while wearing designer clothes.

The story is headlined "Miss USA" and features the reality star in a Yankees cap with stomach exposed. She also wears a Maison Martin Margiela mask in one of the photos. The shoot was art-directed by Riccardo Tisci, Kanye West's close friend.
WWD noted that it was it was Tisci's idea to put Kardashian on the cover.
Roitfeld said he embraced Kardashian's pregnancy to the fullest.
"Pregnancy is something that I always love," she said. "It's about hope and the future and a new baby."
Enstars reported earlier that West tried to convince Vogue's magazine editor Anna Wintour to feature Kardashian on the cover of the publication.
"It's no secret that Kanye is a huge fan of fashion, Vogue and especially Anna Wintour," a source close to Kanye said."Kanye is convinced that he's going to make this happen."
"Kanye is determined to make sure baby North isn't photographed by paparazzi then splashed across the world. He knows what he wants - a professional photographer and the cover of Vogue - nothing else. But clearly, trying to persuade Anna is going to be an uphill battle," the source added.
