Halima Aden broke
barriers when she wore
a hijab on the cover of
British Vogue and in
Sports Illustrated’s 2019
swimsuit issue. Here,
her makeup is applied
during Modest Fashion
Week in Istanbul, Tur-
key, which celebrates a
different side of fashion.
Born a Somali refugee
in Kenya, Aden moved
to the United States and
was the first contestant
in the Miss Minnesota
USA pageant to wear a
hijab and burkini.
