“AFRICA, this one is for you!”

By now you should know the next-level stunning goddess that is Maria Borges.

The supermodel is known for lots of things, like her legs that just won’t quit and her selfie game that makes the world a better place, tbh.

But she’s probably most noted for becoming the first supermodel to wear her natural ‘fro at Victoria’s Secret 2015 fashion show.

On her history-making moment, Borges took to Instagram to write “AFRICA, this one is for you!”, and she revealed that she chose her costume colors to represent her home country of Angola.

And because modeling is so much more than ruling the runway for Borges, she just made history AGAIN as the first African woman to cover Elle magazine since 1997!!!

Alek Wek was the first African woman, and the first black woman, to cover the magazine in 1997, according to Fashion Bomb Daily.
