1. Halima Aden is back after a three-year Hiatus from Modeling with a Vogue Arabia Cover

“This is not just a discussion around Muslim girls. It’s about how we should treat all models,” Halima Aden says in this month’s Vogue Arabia cover story, recalling the working conditions that became one of the reasons why she had to leave the industry. “I was mortified early on in my career when I realized some shows had just clothing racks to separate the girls from the public, from male photographers, from the people bringing food…

When you come from the refugee community I hail from, the one thing I can’t stand is when the perks are not applied to everybody else. When the other models came to me to ask if they could use my small dressing box, I remember thinking, ‘Why can’t they just create a covered space for all of us?’” Now back to the world of fashion on her own terms, the Somali humanitarian is using her voice to stress the need for better treatment for all models, and the importance of real representation.  It’s a homecoming of sorts too, as she previously graced the cover back in 2017—becoming the first-ever veiled model on the cover of a Vogue edition.

2. Halle Bailey Graces Vogue Arabia’s May Digital Cover

Reinventing #Ariel for a new generation, #TheLittleMermaid star #HalleBailey says the racist backlash against a woman of color being cast as the fictional mermaid was a shock, though not entirely surprising.

“I initially expected everyone to be as excited as I was, but the reality of it all hit me later as I realized the world that we live in,” she tells #VogueArabia this month, sharing that she chooses to focus on the positives. “This is such a blessing, and the movie is bigger than me. I just hope that people who aren’t sure about it, go and watch the film and realize we did the original justice.
