This issue of Life & Style displays two of the Kardashian sisters and their "diet secrets". This depicts a gender and identity stereotype where in order to be considered "attractive" or "beautiful" we should lose weight, just like Khloe and Kim Kardashian did. Kim is known for her looks, and by putting her on the front page of a magazine, it's going to influence other girls that look up to her to go on a diet. They may think that's the only way they will be pretty or be accepted into society. Today, we have become obsessed with how we look by being in shape and continuously trying new diets. Magazine covers prove this by always displaying some kind of article about the latest "diet secrets" or weight loss story.
