She’s the man.

Kim Kardashian stars on the cover of GQ’s 2023 Men of the Year issue in a shirt and tie (and junk food) as she chatted to the magazine about her foray into menswear with Skims and how she’s been inspired by her late father, Robert Kardashian, both in business and fashion.

The “Kardashians” star, 43, borrowed from the boys for her cover look, sporting a striped Brioni dress shirt and boxy blazer from The Row along with a very ’90s Paul Stuart tie featuring a geometric pattern.

The Skims founder — who sucks on her thumb as she holds a bag of Cheetos in the pic — might not be a man, but she follows in the footsteps of other famous ladies like Jennifer Aniston, Serena Williams and Rihanna by covering the mag’s annual issue.

She opened up about her clothing brand’s new menswear line in the accompanying cover story, sharing that she “just wanted men to find out what all the hype is about.”

The Skims men’s collection, which launched in late October, features famous athletes like Brazilian soccer star Neymar and San Francisco 49ers player Nick Bosa modeling the comfy undies, socks and base layers.

And while many men might not follow the Kardashian family’s every move, Skims cofounder Jens Grede compared the phenomenon to Michael Jordan.

“Many 19 year olds who never watched Jordan play and don’t play basketball themselves wear Air Jordan sneakers every day,” Grede said. “Maybe you don’t watch ‘The Kardashians’ every single week, but you’re a Skims customer.”

Kim credits her father, Robert — who famously defended O.J. Simpson during his murder trial — with sparking her interest in the fashion world, recalling how she used to love hanging out in his closet full of designer apparel.

“When I was five or six, I was climbing up a shelf and the shelf gave way,” she told GQ. “I just remember waking up in the hospital with a concussion.”

“He always wanted to look cool,” Kim added, sharing a story about how her dad used to pop into Body, a clothing store where she worked as a teenager.

“Diesel was one of the brands we carried,” she told GQ. “They had a cool pair of jeans. They were wax-coated. My dad’s office was really close by, so he’d always stop in. He said, ‘I have to have those.’ I got them for him. He would wear them with just a black T-shirt and a loafer.”
