Kim Kardashian shows her confidence is the icing on the cake as she poses for the cover of Elle UK.

The 34-year-old reality TV star and fashionista, who gave birth to daughter North West in June 2013, showed off her post-baby figure in three different covers for the magazine’s confidence issue shot by photographer Jean Baptiste Mondino.

The outfits include designs by Balmain, Burberry and Balenciaga.

Kim – who has built a business empire around herself as a brand – is being celebrated by Elle as a poster girl for confidence and self-belief.

In a survey of 3,500 women conducted by the magazine, only eight per cent described themselves as successful, and just a fifth described themselves as confident.

Lorraine Candy, editor-in-chief of Elle UK, said: “Kim has built a hugely successful business empire, inspiring a whole new generation of women when it comes to body confidence. Our confidence issue is all about inspiring self-belief in women, and Kim champions this perfectly.”

The full interview appears in the January issue of Elle UK, on sale December 4, 2014. Also available as a digital edition.
