Though we can all agree that 12 years shouldn’t have to pass for a black model to grace the cover of British Vogue on their own, we’re also excited to see 2015 become the year of Jourdan Dunn .

The 24-year-old London native beauty shines bright in her first solo Vogue magazine cover, lensed by Patrick Demarchelier wearing a pale yellow and orange Prada dress selected by stylist Kate Phelan .

She shared the good news on Twitter and Intagram on Friday afternoon:

“I’m so Happy to finally say I’M ON THE COVER OF BRITISH VOGUE!!! Thank you @britishvogue, Patrick Demarchelier and Kate Phelan for making this happen and also thank you all for the Love and Support it means everything to me #2015YearOfTheDunn.”
