Lizzo is Vogue’s October cover girl
In case you forgot, here’s a reminder: Lizzo is still 100% that — well, you know the rest.
Draped in a red Valentino dress, the musician is the latest Vogue cover star for the October issue of the magazine, announced Thursday by both Vogue and Lizzo herself.
“At a time of unprecedented strife, struggle, and opportunity, Vogue meets up—at a distance—with Lizzo, the musical sage who wants us to get through this moment together,” the magazine said on Instagram.
Lizzo said on Instagram, “I am the first big black woman on the cover of @voguemagazine. The first black anything feels overdue. But our time has come. To all my black girls, if someone like you hasn’t done it yet— BE THE FIRST.”
CNN reached out to Vogue to confirm that Lizzo is the first plus-size Black woman on the cover.
The cover was shot by Hype Williams, and the accompanying profile was written by poet and essayist Claudia Rankine.
