In March of 1966, Peggy Ann Freeman, known professionally as Donyale Luna, was the first model of color to be featured on the cover of British Vogue. In the cover photo, Luna’s hand covers most of her face, leaving only a v-shaped space around her heavily-lined eye and brow, an attempt, according to writer Tansy E. Hoskins, to hide her ethnicity entirely.
