Baby North West also made her Vogue debut as a behind-the-scenes video shows the 9-month-old being photographed while dressed in adorable white outfits. At one point West, Kardashian and their daughter appear happy and relaxed while posing together for Leibovitz.
The Vogue cover comes months after West openly complained about Kardashian's lack of recognition in the fashion world. The hip-hop mogul reportedly began trying to persuade Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour to put Kardashian on the cover last year.
"Quiet as it's kept, Kanye hasn't made the deal happen yet, but he wants Kim to pose on the cover in her wedding dress," a source told HollywoodLife.com in February.
"He thinks that's the epitome of everything and he's begging Anna [Wintour] to say yes to it by Valentine's Day," a source continued. "He wants Kim to be assured by then that it's a done deal and that she has the cover thanks to him."
Wintour is renowned for selecting iconic Hollywood stars such as Beyonce Knowles to cover the fashion publication, as well as Olympic athletes and even highly respected political figures like First Lady Michelle Obama. Sources claim Kardashian, who rose to stardom in 2007 following the release of her erotic tape, had never been considered for a cover up until recently.
"There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't be on the cover of Vogue. She's like the most intriguing woman right now. She's got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday," West told Radio host Ryan Seacrest in October.
In January reports claimed West approached Wintour about "Girls" creator Lena Dunham's cover. Dunham appeared on the publication's February issue, which West reportedly believed was an insult to Kardashian.
"Kanye thinks that Kim has a much bigger fan base and appeal than Lena. To Kanye, it's insulting that his friend Anna is still refusing to even consider putting Kim on the cover of Vogue," a source said at the time.
Kardashian and West are set to wed in Paris on May 24 and baby North will be a flower girl.
