May posed for American photographer Annie Leibovitz at the
prime minister's official country residence Chequers earlier
this month and gave an interview to go alongside the pictures,
British media reported.
While her predecessor Margaret Thatcher appeared in British
Vogue, May would be the first British leader to feature in the
magazine's U.S. edition.
"We can confirm the prime minister has done a photoshoot for
U.S. Vogue," a spokesman for May's office said. The shoot is due
to appear in the April edition.
The British leader, known for her love of eye-catching shoes,
has long been a fan of the magazine.
When asked by BBC Radio during an interview in 2014 what she
would chose as her luxury item were she a castaway on a desert
island, she opted for a lifetime subscription to Vogue.
Last year May came under fire from a former government minister
for her expensive taste in fashion after being photographed for
a newspaper interview wearing leather trousers that British
media said had cost 995 pounds ($1,199).
