Somali fashion star has made the history as the first hijab-wearing model on the cover of the top American women?s beauty magazine Allure.

Halima Aden who is only 19 years old, flaunted Nike?s high-performance hijab on the cover of the July issue with a caption which says ?This Is American Beauty?.

In an interview to the magazine, Halima said, "I have much more to offer than my physical appearance, and a hijab protects me against ?You?re too skinny,? ?You?re too thick,? ?Look at her hips,? ?Look at her thigh gap.? I don?t have to worry about that.

?Every little girl looks up to her mom so much ? that?s your first hero,? she added.

Halima Aden was born to Somali parents at a refugee camp in Kenya and made history in 2016 as the first hijab-wearing contestant in the Miss Minnesota Beauty Pageant.

Halima Aden is also a student at the St. Cloud State University and has signed to international model management firm IMG Models.
