Sudanese model makes history by closing Chanel show

In a monumental moment for African and black models everywhere, Adut Akech Bior is the star of the Chanel Haute couture show.

Yesterday in Paris, at the exciting finale of Paris Haute Couture week, Adut became the second African model to not only serve as a bride in Chanel’s Haute Couture Fall 2018 show but close the show to boot.

Each season, Chanel’s Haute Couture show closes with a supermodel in a wedding gown. This coveted position has been held by top models Claudia Schiffer, Kendall Jenner and Lily-Rose Depp among a host of other top models.

Alek Wek was the first African model to hit the runway as a bride for Chanel in 2004.

This is a big deal for 19-year-old Adut who also opened Chanel’s Cruise show in May and made her runway debut just last year at Saint Laurent’s Spring show.

For her bridal look, she wore a mint green tweed maxi skirt suit with a matching veiled cap both of which were embellished.

She shared photos from the catwalk with the caption:
