Ever since Beverly Johnson broke boundaries as the first black model on Vogue in 1974, the magazine has featured a range of black talent from the world of fashion, film, music and sports. In 2014, Vogue featured for the first time four black stars in a year with Kanye West, Lupita Nyong’o, Rihanna and Joan Smalls–proving that diversity sells. See our list of fourteen black Vogue US cover stars (solo covers only) from the 1970s to 2015, below.
