Model-slash-actress Liya Kebede stars on the cover of Vogue Paris this month, marking the first time that the magazine has put a black woman on its cover in five years, according to the Daily Mail. Before Kebede, model Rose Cordero was the last black woman to get a Vogue Paris cover in 2010. This isn't a new story for Vogue's international editions: British Vogue's Jourdan Dunn issue in January was the first time the magazine had put a black woman on the cover in 12 years.
