Anok Yai, the star of stars in the fashion industry graces the cover of Harper’s Bazaar U.S. in a double feature with Christy Turlington for the May 2024 issue. The painter, model, and megastar talks with Kaitlyn Greenidge about becoming a star in the fashion world, her successes, her love of painting and the arts and ultimately what beauty and feeling beautiful means to her.

That kind of success could easily be overwhelming. Yai says her love of art, though, is “part of what has kept me whole. … I didn’t feel like I was really losing myself as I got into the fashion industry.”
