Kim Kardashian has been named one of GQ’s "Men of the Year" cover stars.

On Tuesday, the 43-year-old mother of four joined a list of iconic women including Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Scarlett Johansson, and Jennifer Aniston, who previously graced the cover.

Announcing the news, the SKIMS founder took to X to tell her followers: "Hi! I’m the GQ Man of the Year!" Included in the post was a snapshot of her GQ cover, which sees the reality star wearing a suit paired with wet hair.

Kim has also been named the magazine’s Tycoon of the Year, a title she earned as a result of her billion-dollar shapewear brand SKIMS, which launched its first menswear line just last month. “I just wanted men to find out what all the hype is about,” she shared in her cover story.

As part of the cover interview, the American Horror Story: Delicate star opened up about her personal life. She was candid about her father Robert Kardashian's esophageal cancer diagnosis which ultimately led to his death in July 2003.

She also spoke about raising the four children she shares with her ex husband Kanye West and how she managed to deal with her own parents' divorce at the age of just nine.

For the accompanying photo shoot, Kim is seen wearing designer menswear and womenswear-inspired looks.

As well as the Balenciaga, Loewe and Saint Laurent featured in the photo shoot, she also dons a “vintage” branded T-shirt from her bygone clothing line DASH, which she co-owned with her sisters Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian between 2006 to 2018.

There's no denying that the entrepreneur has been kept busy with her shapewear brand over the last few months.

Her new line of men’s briefs, boxers, tanks and tees recently featured in a campaign starring Neymar Jr., Nick Bosa and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SKIMS was also announced as the official underwear partner of the NBA, WNBA and USA Basketball.

Speaking about the honor, Kim said in a press release: “I am incredibly proud of SKIMS partnership with the NBA, as it is a reflection of SKIMS growing influence on culture. Together, SKIMS and the NBA will connect people of all backgrounds through fashion, sport, and talent, and I look forward to seeing the partnership thrive.”

The new GQ issue set to hit newsstands on November 28.
