For 2018, Vogue Arabia has selected a very special person to grace its September cover: Nicki Minaj, marking the first time the “Barbie Dream” rapper has appeared on a Vogue cover.
Vogue Arabia shared an image of two dramatic black-and-white covers on Instagram, declaring that “music’s bad girl is fashion’s latest muse.”
