This week, we honor classic beauty, Beverly Johnson.

As the first African-American model to grace the cover of Vogue Magazine, this super model stunner is also an historic trailblazer.

Johnson, along with the iconic magazine she was featured on, recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of the major moment.

To this day, Johnson says she has women approach her and thank her for her goal. "Women come up to me and say 'you don't know what it meant to see you and have a reflection of myself on that cover," she explained.

Thanks to Beverlly Johnson's trail blazing, other iconic models of color such as Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks have come after the legend to continue the diverse legacy of Vogue cover model beauty.
