Amanda Gorman is on the rise and continues to shine.

The 23-year-old, who became the youngest poet to perform at a presidential inauguration, is featured on the cover of Vogue magazine's May 2021 issue.

On the awe-inspiring cover, she was photographed by Annie Leibovitz wearing a gorgeous Louis Vuitton dress and Tory Burch sandals. She has a Auvere ear cuff in her hair as well as Khems Designs hair charms.

"Poet, activist, optimist, style icon — @amandascgorman has become so much more than a literary star," Vogue wrote in a post.

Gorman was photographed for an additional cover where she's seen in a totally different look including a Dior Haute Couture dress and a headband.

"It took so much labor, not only on behalf of me, but also of my family and of my village, to get here," the cover star told Vogue.

“I've learned that it's OK to be afraid," Gorman continued. "And what's more, it's OK to seek greatness. That does not make me a black hole seeking attention. It makes me a supernova."
