Lupita Nyong’o, the 30-year-old, Mexican-born,
Kenyan actress seems to be the current “it” girl in the media.
Hollywood favors lighter-skinned actresses, but Lupita’s success with 12 Years
a Slave and her personal style are illuminating.
Her beauty and indisputable sense of style has
fashion designers clamoring to clothe her. Her gorgeous, dark-chocolate skin
tone being featured on magazine covers has women around the world celebrating. She was chosen as one of the faces for Miu Miu’s
Spring 2014 campaign, alongside Elizabeth Olsen, Elle Fanning and Bella
Heathcote.
Lupita made her American film debut in Steve
McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave (2013), as Patsey for which she received critical
acclaim. For her role Lupita went on to be nominated for the Golden Globe,
Screen Actors Guild, BAFTA and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She
will also be featured in Liam Neeson’s upcoming film Non-Stop.
