Kim Kardashian West posed fully naked for the winter issue of Paper Mag which sent online news feeds into a frenzy. Posing for photographer Jean-Paule Goude was not easy for the reality television star as she commented 'My back hurt for about a week after that shoot...I used muscles... [Goude] has an art of posing you and it was definitely not comfortable'

Even with 26.5m illion followers on Twitter and 23.4 million followers on Instagram she didn't quite manage to break the internet, however this picture has become one of the most iconic of the year.
