“I Felt Ugly:” Black Top Model Leomie Anderson Had To Do Her Own Hair And Makeup For A Runway Show

Model Leomie Anderson was first scouted when she was just 14, walking home from school in south London. At 17, Anderson was already walking for Marc Jacobs. Since then, she has built an impressive portfolio and even became the first Black British Victoria’s Secret Angel.

But despite all of her accolades and achievements and the fact that it’s 2021, Anderson’s career is still affected by her race.

A week ago, the model uploaded a video to her social media, revealing her experience at a runway show where the glam team was so ill-equipped to work with her skin tone and hair type that she had to do it herself.
