The spread, orchestrated by British-born editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, will appear in the magazine’s April edition, a spokesman for Downing Street said to BBC.
May posed for renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, who also photographed First Lady Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton for Vogue.
Since she became prime minister in July, her fashionable footwear has made headlines, particularly her trademark kitten heels. In September, a trade union urged her to ditch her heels for flat shoes in formal meetings to promote equality in the workplace, according to the Guardian.
Margaret Thatcher, the only other female British prime minister, posed for the U.K. version of Vogue several times.
