Halima has one of the most beautiful faces in the world and she is also the most admirable young ladies.

Life was not easy for the 19-year-old, who always wanted to be a model.

After she managed to ‘get in’, the beautiful teenager marked a global premiere.

Halima Aden is the first woman with hijab who signed a modeling contract with one of the most successful agencies in the world.

IMG Models manages celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Miranda Kerr, Gisele Bundchen and Ashley Graham and a while ago they also found a special spot for Halima Aden.

Her first big break into the fashion industry was at the New York Fashion Week in Kanye West’s fashion show.

She was hired by the rapper himself, to sport a Yeezy Season 5 outfit.

Kanye’s choice was acclaimed by critics and fans because Halima stole all the looks.

The Muslim model was born in a refugee camp from Kenya and she was abandoned by her biological parents at the age of six.

She is currently living in Minnesota, where she used to attend local beauty pageants.

Halima never gave up on her veil during the competitions and the accessory became her signature.

At the ‘swimsuit’ challenge, she appeared in a burkini.

Her dream is not to work only as a model.

The Kenyan beauty is also a student at the St. Cloud University and one day she dreams of becoming a UN ambassador.
