The Englewood-born niece of Steve and Devon Aoki marks the first Asian American plus-size model to appear on the cover of the magazine's swimsuit issue.
A shocked Nu told the New York Post that the photoshoot came as part of a “little plan” by her agents during what she thought was a routine interview.
“I could not speak,” Nu, 25, told the outlet. “I had full body chills. I was shaking, I was crying. They really got me good.”
The issue is set to hit newsstands on Thursday, May 19.
