Caitlyn Jenner, who used be known as Bruce Jenner, has posed for the first time as a woman, revealing her look after getting a sex change.
The 65-year-old American TV personality graced the cover of Vanity Fair, which was shot by famous celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz in Malibu, in a white body suit.
Caitlyn aka Bruce Jenner has also broken US President Barack Obama’s record by reaching 1 million Twitter followers in the shortest duration of time.
Guinness World Records has confirmed that the newly transitioned reality TV star pulled off the feat in a mere four hours, beating Obama, who had set the record only two weeks ago, by reaching a million in about five hours, the Verge reported.
The American reality star admitted that undergoing the 10-hour process was pretty tough, and thought that she was taking her transition too far, reported US Magazine.
Though Jenner did face some criticism over the revealing cover, her social media and photoshoot received applause and support from users, including her children.
The 65-year-old reality star tweeted that she would have regretted it on her deathbed, had she still kept this secret, but now was happy to reveal her real personality after a long struggle.
