【1980 Archives】

Vogue's new cover980 Archiveslooking a little different than the ones we've seen in the past - and we've got to say, it looks so 👏 much 👏 better👏.

The American magazine's March issue aims to celebrate beauty of "all types," featuring models of various ethnicities (!) and body types (!!) surrounding fashion 'it' girls Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner.

Liu Wen is the first Chinese model to ever appear on the glossy's cover, and "the first Asian model...on the front cover of the publication (excluding foldouts) since the 1930s," according to her management's press release.

Beside Wen is plus-size trailblazer and self-love advocate Ashley Graham, marking her first appearance on American Vogue's cover, and a huge step in the direction of curve inclusivity.

Imaan Hammam, Adwoa Aboah, and Vittoria Ceretti round out the beautiful shot in matching black Prada turtlenecks.

"Each of these cover girls proudly inhabits her own particular gorgeousness in her own particular way," the magazine writes of its cover models. "Together they represent a seismic social shift: The new beauty norm is no norm."

While the industry certainly has a long, long way to go to represent all kinds of beauty (not just our cis-ters!), a more inclusive Vogue cover is a wonderfully important start.

Mashablehas reached out to Ashley Graham and Liu Wen for comment.
