Kim Kardashian is once again facing backlash for a career move.

The KKW Beauty founder unveiled her cover shoot for Vogue India's March 2018 issue, and fan reactions to the reveal definitely provided for a mixed bag.

On the issue's two covers, Kardashian is seen rocking two different skin-baring dresses. On one cover, she rocked a black satin dress with a plunging neckline and chain straps, while she dons a belted red one-shoulder look with tulle embellishments in the other.

Inside the issue, the mother of three children dons a variety of other looks, including a gold dress that is falling off of her body, unzipped, and a traditional Indian lehenga.

While acknowledging that Kardashian looks stunning in the photos, a slew of fans took umbrage with the fact that the Indian magazine's cover star is once again not Indian. Many critics also brought up that sister Kendall Jenner controversially covered the magazine in May of last year.

"No shade on the Kardashians," one user tweeted. "But like y’all seriously couldn’t find an INDIAN for the cover? First Kendall & now Kim?"

"I have nothing against Kim Kardashian but @VOGUEIndia is really doing itself a disservice by continually neglecting to portrait brown women in their 'magazine,'" someone else remarked. "You’re perpetuating a detrimental cycle of underrepresentation. Stop white washing your own damn culture."

Another user wasn't pleased that Kardashian wore a lehenga in the photo shoot.

"Kim k in a lehenga???" he tweeted. "I think the f--k not @VOGUEIndia could you seriously not find a single Indian woman for the magazine?"

Kim Kardashian and Vogue India have yet to respond to the uproar over the decision to have Kardashian grace the cover of the magazine's March issue. It's Kardashian's seventh Vogue cover, but first for its Indian edition.
