How Model Adut Akech Spends a Day In Dubai | Model Diaries | British Vogue
South Sudanese-Australian model Adut Akech invites us to join her on a day of sightseeing in Dubai in British Vogue's Model Diaries.
Taking a well-earned break between assignments, the model immerses herself in the culture and colours of the historic city, indulging in sweet local delicacies as she reflects on her meteoric rise in the fashion world. Akech recounts her model beginnings and reminisces about her career highlights, such as being asked by Karl Lagerfeld to be his Chanel 'bride', making history as only the second Black woman, after fellow Sudanese-British model Alek Wek, to close the label’s couture show. As her dreamy day draws to a close, there's just enough time for a sunset boat tour before ending with a candlelit dinner.

@Wuraola Kuye Of course. I’m just shocked that someone convinced U Melanated people, that they need sunscreen to this extent. I’ve lived in the carribean, South America, The Middle East and that was never a thought.

@Anna Gonzalez She has high cheek bones, there just isn’t that hollowed out space beneath them like other faces.

@Leptune Cannet lol.
There are two types of ppl on youtube:
1. People who say mean things to people who’re good looking.
2. People who try so hard to complement others.

@siva tharan and there is always someone who thinks they’re quirky and try to comment “relatable” “funny” things to get likes

For sure the South Sudanese beauty is out of the world authentic. No money can buy that pure melanin. The women are the most resilient humans I know.
I don’t know about wanting to live there though, the conditions are very very tough but they survive. I always say God lives in South Sudan. I have seen miracles there!

No matter how famous the kardashians are. They didn’t make Kendall Jenner 6ft tall and petite. She looks like a model so let the girl live.

I can’t believe that I used to look up to Bollywood celebs who would go for skin lightening procedures and would rather paint light skinned actors dark than give dark skinned people opportunities. I’m so glad I found this video! She is witty, gorgeous and unapologetic! I only wish I didn’t spend all my childhood hating my colour.

I can not believe people look up to Kardashians as role models. This amazing woman here is who people should look up to she is absolutely beautiful and so true. The Kardashians only wish to look this good and naturally beautiful. I am so in love and inspired by this woman.
