SAO PAULO, May 27 (UPI) --Kim Kardashian is having another major blonde moment and this time it's on the cover of Vogue Brasil as the reality star channels Marilyn Monroe.
Mrs. Kanye West was photographed topless for the first cover photo, with blond tresses in tight pin curls, black gloves and her signature smoldering look, inspired by the Some Like It Hot icon. On the second cover, Kim is wearing a cropped top that accentuates her hour glass figure.

The magazine honors the 34-year old with the "Marilyn Monroe of 2015" title, as the symbol of the new silhouette for the red carpet.

In an interview with the magazine, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star says, "I challenge anyone to try to do everything I do and then tell me whether or not I have talent."
According to Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci, the starlet reminds him of the iconic actress but is more than just a beautiful face with a hot body.
E! News reports that back in 2014 Tisci said, "I just wanted a moment with her to understand -- and I fell in love. She's the Monroe of our age. People think she's like a doll, but actually she's tough and clever."

This marks the third time the star graced the cover of the holy grail of fashion magazines. Earlier this year she was featured on Vogue Australia's February issue and last year she posed with West for the American version.
