Lupita Nyong'o

[EvaH]

Oh my god. Gorgeous

If I am not mistaken, she used to be a model so no wonder she knows how to work the camera

 

[HeatherAnne]

Exquisite spread! Nice styling too, though Lupita, as it's been mentioned many times, can pull off anything.

He bios don't mention any modeling. She attended Yale as a drama student and has written and directed documentaries in addition to acting.

 

[chickadee]

She is sooo friggin adorable. I really hope she does more interviews; she's so personable.

^ That dress could go wrong on many, but she looks flawless (yet again). Great earrings and heels to. She makes it seem easy.

[YoninahAliza]

She looks stunning at the Today Show, everything she wears just pops on her. I'm having serious clothing envy every time I see what Lupita is wearing, it all looks so great on her.

 

[HeatherAnne]

^ Yeah she definitely has a great eye for colors, and wears them beautifully. That outfit is so sweet but chic at the same time. Good stuff.

DRESS: VALENTINO. STYLING: VANESSA CHOW.

Watching Lupita Nyong'o's performance in Steve McQueen's wrenching, new historical drama 12 Years a Slave, it's hard to imagine that any actor could wish for a more auspicious—or harrowing—debut. As a young slave named Patsey, the 30-year-old Nyong'o must contend with the unwanted advances of a cruel owner (played with maniacal glee by Michael Fassbender) and the sadistic jealousy of his wife (Sarah Paulson). It's a role that required Nyong'o's character to withstand an inordinate amount of physical and emotional abuse onscreen—a fact which, when brought up, brings a smile to the actress's face. "There was so much joy in the making of this film, despite the fact that it's about such a sad, traumatic experience," says Nyong'o, who explains that shooting at an actual Louisiana plantation added an extra layer of gravity to the proceedings. "We all felt like we were part of something so real and so necessary. It was a joy to go on set every day and tell these real people's story. Doing this movie, I discovered that joy is not the negation of pain, but rather acknowledging the presence of pain and feeling happiness in spite of it." Though she was born in Mexico and raised in Kenya (her father is a Kenyan politician), Nyong'o honed her acting skills at the Yale School of Drama—a life-changing experience that almost didn't happen. "When I was younger, I was almost too afraid to admit that I wanted to be an actor," recalls Nyong'o. "I didn't know any successful actors in Kenya, so I felt like I could get away with going to college to study film more easily than I could with saying, ‘I want to be an actor.' That's what I did." After earning a degree in film and African studies at Hampshire College in Massachusetts—during which time Nyong'o directed a documentary, In My Genes, about albinism in Kenya—she was faced with the age-old post-college question: What do I want to do with my life? "I knew that if I didn't try acting, that would be the one thing I would regret, so I decided to apply to acting schools," Nyong'o says. "If I got in, I'd take it as a sign that I should pursue acting as a career. If I didn't get in, I was prepared to figure out some plan B." She adds: "Luckily, I got in."

^ You just beat me to it!

Not really feeling this outfit, hate the shoes and not big on the dress.

 

[LolaSvelt]

She's wearing Lanvin, isn't she? I love the dress on her, but those shoes are a no-no. Luckily they kind of blend in with the red carpet.

 

[marmoset]

That Interview picture... Oh. My. God. Stunning!

 

[Wolkfolk]

She's indeed wearing head to toe Lanvin . The dress is very cute and looks super chic on her ( With the right light it really looks amazing , especially against her skin ). But I agree that shoes are a bit of a letdown.
