Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi, has made the cover of the April 2019 edition of popular American publication, Vogue magazine.
She is the first Nigerian to do so in the fashion and lifestyle magazine’s 127 years history.
The actress was one of 14 global superstars featured on a cover story about actresses making global impact.
She announced the feat via Instagram on Thursday.
“Nigeria to the world.🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 Celebrate black girl MAGIC. I’m so thrilled to reveal my cover for @voguemagazine’s April issue celebrating this talented group of women from across the globe,” she wrote in parts.
Introducing Adesua in the article, Vogue wrote in parts: “The Nigerian actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington can’t walk down the street in Lagos without getting mobbed, and if she’s with her husband, the actor Banky Wellington, forget it—a trip to the grocery store launches a thousand selfies. But unlike some of her cohorts on the shoot, she’s more of a third-culture kid, born in Nigeria and raised mainly in England. (She speaks in two fluent accents—Lagos and the British Midlands.)”
Some of the other actresses selected for the shoot included Angelababy, Doona Bae, Elizabeth Debicki, Golshifteh Farahani, Liv Lisa Fries, Eiza Gonzalez, Hera Hilmar, Scarlett Johansson, Vanessa Kirby , Bruna Marquezine, Deepika Padukone , Alba Rohrwacher and Lea Seydoux.
The names selected span across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas
