Irish actress Ruth Negga is Vogue’s January cover star

Absolutely slaying it too.

Current girl crush: Ruth Negga.

You probably became acquainted with the Irish-Ethiopian actress from her stint as Rosie on Love Hate and since then, Ruth has gone on to make a major name for herself in Hollywood circles.

There’s a major buzz around the Limerick-born actress at the minute thanks to her role in Loving, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.

Thirty-four-year-old Ruth received widespread critical acclaim for playing Mildred and the film, and its stars, have already been tipped as potential Oscar winners.

Unfortunately, Irish cinema goers will have to wait until February to see how Loving tells the story of Mildred and Richard, an interracial couple living in the 1950s, who are not permitted to get married.

In the meantime, Ruth, whose red carpet fashion sense is nothing short of amazing, is the cover star of the January issue of Vogue.

Gracing the front page of the iconic fashion bible AND in the running for an Oscar, Ruth is some woman for one woman.

What a fab shot.
