Kim Kardashian is breaking the internet (again).

Eight years after her iconic nude Paper magazine cover, the reality star is baring her booty again — this time for Interview.

Kardashian, 41, fronts the September 2022 “American Dream” issue in an all-denim outfit by Bottega Veneta, her jeans unzipped and pulled down low enough to show off her famous derrière — and her jockstrap.

“I loved it,” she told the mag of the unconventional underwear choice.

“The team was like, ‘No jockstrap.’ And I’m like, ‘Come on. This is what I do.’ I do best when I’m ignoring them and doing what I want. So, I’m glad we did it.”

Kardashian, who dyed her hair platinum blond for her Marilyn Monroe moment at the 2022 Met Gala in May, kept the look for her shoot — and even bleached her eyebrows to match.

“I do think blondes have more fun,” she told Interview Editor-in-Chief Mel Ottenberg. “I just feel different.”

Elsewhere in her appropriately Americana-themed photoshoot, the Skims founder models a red Norma Kamali bodysuit with a black spiked Gucci choker, a US flag-printed thong paired with a Saint Laurent black leather jacket and a classic white tank top with baggy jeans, both by Bottega Veneta.

During her interview, Kardashian discussed her headline-making style and stepping out of her comfort zone for now-iconic red carpet looks, like her completely covered-up Balenciaga ensemble for the 2021 Met Gala — an outfit dreamt up in part by her ex Kanye West, and one that the Skkn by Kim creator initially resisted.

“I trust myself in the sense of, I know what looks good, and I know what makes me feel really uncomfortable. But, every once in a while, someone will be like, ‘Trust me. This looks good,'” she said.

“Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t, and you just have to roll with it. It’s not that serious. I care a lot, but I also can’t let it consume me. Sometimes there’s bad angles, bad lighting. You can’t control it all.”

Cheers to taking a chance — and baring it all.

Kelly Ripa appears to be trying to break the Internet this Halloween.

The talk show host showcased her version of Kim Kardashian’s champagne-popping magazine cover photo on today's special Halloween edition of Live! With Kelly and Michael.

Ripa, 43, flawlessly recreated the booty-balancing snap of the reality star that originally appeared on the cover of Paper magazine's Winter 2014 issue with the line, "Break the Internet."

Along with her co-host, Michael Strahan, Ripa gave nods to movies, music and pop culture events.

The two kicked off the show dressed as characters from Star Wars -- Ripa decked out as Princess Leia and Strahan channeling Luke Skywalker -- which was certainly appropriate given the anticipation surrounding the franchise's upcoming sequel, The Force Awakens.

Later, Ripa gave a nod to presidential candidate Donald Trump by sporting a suit, toupee and spray tan. She even showed off her amazing Trump pout!

The former soap star also channeled her inner “California Girl” to pull off her Katy Perry look from the Super Bowl 2015 halftime show. Strahan, 43, stood at her side disguised as Perry’s famous free-spirited left shark friend.

Meanwhile, Strahan also delighted the audience by dressing as Magic Mike star Channing Tatum, and Cookie from Empire.

However, the most exciting moment from the show actually took place backstage when Ripa was reunited with her former co-star, Regis Philbin.
