Cape Town - English actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw, whose father is a South African doctor named Patrick Mbatha and mother is an English nurse named Anne Raw, is on the cover of British Vogue.

She’s best known for her roles as Kelly in Black Mirror, Dido Elizabeth Belle in Belle, Noni Jean in Beyond the Lights, Plumette in last year’s remake of Beauty and the Beast and most recently appears in A Wrinkle in Time.

Gugu is one of few black women who’ve featured on the iconic fashion magazine’s cover. The mag was blasted in 2015 for not having enough black female representation.

Gugu posted the cover on Instagram with the caption: “So delighted to share my first VOGUE cover!”
