Well it's finally happened. All that petitioning of US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour by Kanye West has paid off and he and Kim Kardashian have scored the cover of the style bible's April 2014 issue. While Kanye gazes lovingly in the general direction of her shoulder - though admittedly his eyes may be directed a bit further down towards her enviable cleavage - Kim is resplendent in a Lanvin strapless fairytale style gown of ruched ivory.
We're not quite sure it it was custom made by Lanvin designer, Alber Elbaz, for the occasion but we suspect that this indeed may have been the case. Within the interior spread Kim also wears a feathered creation by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen which makes Fashion Finder think about the movie Black Swan. But we digress.
The whole concept of the shoot also makes us think about the first Sex and the City movie where Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw does her own Vogue wedding dress shoot before being spectacularly stood up at the altar by Mr Big. We're sure that won't happen in Kim's case though. The odds on divorce, however, should they happen to sell their wedding to Hello Magazine (unlikely) is another matter entirely.
For our own part we think the Coast dress is our favourite from the carousel. Now we just need to find someone to pop the question...
