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.\"

The inauguration breakout star, who graduated from Harvard, said she wants \"someone to eventually disrupt the model I have established.\"

Gorman's extraordinary Vogue cover follows news of the young poet signing with IMG Models, a prestigious agency to supermodels such as Gigi and Bella Hadid.
