Atlanta's Precious Lee is an enigmatic beauty who fully knows how to use it. The first Black plus-size model on the pages of Vogue US and the first to be featured in Sports Illustrated's coveted Swimsuit Issue, Lee has been able to use harness the platform that gives her to advocate for size and racial diversity in the fashion and entertainment industries.
She commands each frame, adorned in only elaborate Schiaparelli's Spring 2021 couture jewelry. The extravagance of each piece is offset by her natural beauty, shot by Richard Burbridge and styled by Patti Wilson. Lee glows on the inside and out.
