The 29-year-old singer’s photoshoot pays homage to legendary Egyptian queen Nefertiti, and even before the cover was released, Vogue Arabia tweeted a little teaser with the caption, “Thousands of years apart, two iconic women.”
Although the iconic fashion publication had previously come under fire for featuring internationally-recognised models such as Gigi Hadid instead of Arab or Middle Eastern women wholly and it’s happening once again, she still looks bangin’.
