Kim Kardashian stuns with minimal makeup in Vogue Australia cover

SYDNEY, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Kim Kardashian covers the February issue of Vogue Australia in an airy white dress and minimum makeup.

The 34-year-old reality star, who has famously changed her look since marrying the fashion-adept Kanye West, wore a series of dresses and bathing suits with loose wavy hair for the photo spread, which was shot by famed fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon at the beach.

In her cover story, Kardashian opened up about why her relationship with West works so well.

"We are absolute best friends; we know every last thing about each other," she said. "We know our goals are to make each other's lives really happy, and I think we know how to do that. We have good communication, and I think that's so important in a relationship, and we have so much fun together. We laugh together."

Though Kardashian previously covered the American edition of Vogue along with her husband last April, the new cover marks the first time she graced Vogue's front page on her own. The February issue of Vogue Australia is on stands now.
