Kim Kardashian West is keeping her clothes on this time as she graces the cover of ELLE Magazine. Kim is not only appearing in one but three different covers for the magazine's January confidence issue. She shows off how to have her cake and eat it too -- a cupcake that is in the first of the three covers that was released.

The controversial reality star and businesswoman veered away from the complete nudity of her Paper Magazine photo spread and went conservative for the ELLE Magazine covers. She announced the good news via twitter and shared that there are three versions of the cover:

The first cover features Kim in a pair of black booty shorts and a striped crop top while eating a cup cake with her bejewelled hand. The other two photos, which are also in black and white , are equally tasteful. One version, which is now available in U.K. newsstands, had Kim in a white shirtdress cinched at the waist with a black belt. Finally, the third version, meant exclusively for ELLE subscribers, featured Kim in a white wife-beater, a leather jacket and one of her signature pencil skirts.

According to the ELLE website, the shoot included pieces from such designers as Balmain, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga and Burberry. The photos were shot by high profile photographer Jean Baptiste Mondino and were meant to exude self-belief and confidence. ELLE believes that Kim is the epitome of confidence and she is the perfect face to represent their January issue.

The write-up further states that Kim's belief in herself has changed the notions of what a beautiful body is. She has also proven how she was able to achieve so much through her confidence and self-belief. Kim is now one of the most influential pop culture icons with a massive global business empire.

It was not all fun and games for Kim, however, and the interview is set to reveal how much she needed to be resilient to face her critics and maintain her self-esteem. She also talks about her husband Kanye, her sister Kendall, as well as her late dad, Robert Kardashian. The magazine is available to pre-order now via the ELLE website.
