Irish actress Ruth Negga graces cover of ‘Vogue’ magazine

Actress Ruth Negga has become the first Irish person to appear on the cover of US fashion bible Vogue in at least 60 years.

A picture of the 34-year-old, taken by renowned photographer Mario Testino, will adorn the cover of the January 2017 edition of the magazine, which heralds Negga as a ‘star of our time’ following her lead turn in the critically acclaimed film Loving.

The film, due for release in Ireland in February, was nominated for the prestigious Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
