Kendall Jenner may be keeping mum when it comes to her views on feminism, but the supermodel has no problem dressing up as feminist icon Rosie the Riveter to encourage people to vote.
The 20-year-old teamed up with Rock the Vote and the Independent Journal Review for the new ad campaign, which aims to inspire women in particular to participate in the upcoming presidential election by casting their votes.
In the campaign image and corresponding video, the raven-haired beauty can be seen wearing the icon's famous denim shirt with a red bandanna in her hair as she flexes her lithe bicep.

Public right: Kendall Jenner dressed up as feminist icon Rosie the Riveter to encourage women to vote in this year's presidential election
Feminist icon: Rosie the Riveter (L) was created to recruit women to work in factories during World War II, but her image is also commonly used as a symbol for feminism, like in Kendall's ad (R)
Although the character of Rosie the Riveter was created to recruit women to work in factories during World War II, she has also commonly used as a symbol for feminism and female economic power.
Interestingly, Kendall refused to address whether or not she considers herself a feminist last year during an interview with the Sunday Times in May 2015.
'I don’t know much about it, so I can’t really speak on it,' she responded when asked if she considered herself a feminist. 'I get what you’re saying, but I’m not going to say much because I’d like to be more educated.'
Last September, Kendall gave a one-minute history lesson on how women earned the right to vote in the US in a video spot for Rock the Vote.
Period piece: Kendall dressed as a suffragette in September for her last video spot for Rock the Vote
New woman: At the end of the clip, Kendall transforms into the modern version of herself as she encourages people to vote
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is dressed as a woman at the turn of the 19th century at the star of the video.
'Every day we vote, we're able to express our opinions online with "likes: and hashtags. But it hasn't always been that easy, especially for women," Kendall explains.
She went on to say that starting in 1849, women began to fight for the same voting rights accorded to men and these women were known as suffragettes.
As she recounts how the suffragette movement fought for women's rights, her clothing is removed by a team of helpers as she transforms back into the modern version of herself.
Political family: Kendall's half-sister Kim Kardashian has publicly supported Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
Huge fan: Kim famously posed for a selfie with Hillary in August, and her husband Kanye West was also pictured in the famous picture
No joke: Kanye announced at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2015 (pictured) that he is going to run for president in the 2020 election
'Because of suffragettes and their battle, gender doesn’t matter but your vote always can,' she says at the end of the clip.
And while Kendall has been working with Rock the Vote since she turned 18, her famous family has their own political connections.
Kendall's half-sister Kim Kardashian famously posed for a few selfies with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in August and has since publicly backed the presidential hopeful.
Meanwhile, Kim's husband Kanye West has political ambitions of his own. The rapper confirmed in September that he was not kidding when he announced at the MTV Video Music Awards the month before that he would be running for president in the 2020 election.
