No stranger to the limelight, Aden first achieved ‘groundbreaking’ status back in November 2016 when she became the first Miss Minnesota to compete in a hijab and burkini.
Since then, she’s gone on to walk in the Yeezy season five show at New York Fashion Week and made history as the first hijab-wearing woman on the cover of Vogue.
Sporting Nike’s new performance hijab on the cover of Allure’s July issue, Aden’s image is accompanied by the words, “This is American Beauty” - a defiant slogan that champions the young model’s desire to defy beauty boundaries in fashion once and for all.
Born in a refugee camp in Kenya, Aden moved to the U.S. with her mum at age seven and told Allure that she’s been wearing the hijab ever since.
