Making Histo-Rih! Rihanna Graces The May Cover Of British Vogue
Rihanna continues to make history as a multi-faceted mogul and continues to proving that making your own rules in the industry pays off. With her November 2019 cover, Rihanna officially has the most U.S. Vogue solo covers of any Black women. Histo-Rih!
From models to pop stars, the fashion Bible feauturing Black women on their covers was, and still is, groundbreaking. Beverly Johnson first made history as the first Black woman on an American Vogue cover in 1974. Since then, Black women have continued to sprinkle their magic on the American version of the coveted magazine like Naomi Campbell, Beyoncé, Michelle Obama, Oprah, Zendaya and many more! With Rihanna scoring her sixth cover, we thought it was only right to honor all the Black women who came before her and the ones who will surely come after her.
