Sudanese Super Model Alek Wek Shoots 3 Awesome Covers for Stylist Magazine (See all the covers here)

With all the newer models on the scene right now (Sessilee Lopez, Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman), it’s becoming harder to remember some of the stalwart black beauties who have dominated scene for many years. So we were pretty excited when we came across these new covers of UK’s Stylist Magazine featuring Alek Wek looking absolutely awesome in some really high-fashion poses.

One shot features her in an all-black studded cut-out swimsuit, another features her in a sleek leather jacket and the third features her in a voluminous, couture black ostrich onesie. All three shots leap right off the page and all the shoes she rocks are extra FIERCE.

    Alek rocks! She is the poster for raw beauty and intelligence.

    Love the varied shades of Black beauty of all ethnicities. For the life of me, I don't understand why some of my people cannot see through the lies we've been fed about our beauty. Our internalized racism issues, based on shades, is appalling and the epitome of ignorance.

    All this to say, I'm a fair-skinned Black woman who desires to see more media representations of our varied beauty. It's a pleasure to see browner shades appreciated and recognized for awesomeness, which doesn't happen often enough.
