Lupita Nyong'o

woot woot... I am loving me even much more some Lancôme :-D.

I´d love for Pedro Almodovar to cast her in a spanish speaking role
Her skin is so amazing, it was a matter of time until a beauty contract came her way... I´m so glad it´s Lancome and not Covergirl or Maybelline ink:

 

[YoninahAliza]

I'm so excited to hear that Lupita's got a contract with Lancome, it seems like a good match. I can't wait to see the adverts, I'm sure they will be stunning. And this is a nice interview with WWD, lots of great quotes in it.

Check out CNN Mexico on YT, there's an interview with La Reine Lupita, in Spanish.

I completely forgot about the Mexican connection there. I would like to see her in a Spanish speaking role now! Ang, Pedro and Kathryn, I hope you're listening!

I love the white suit she's wearing in the Lancome pictures. So chic.

With my 1 year of college spanish I was able to understand her. haha. I don't think she's completely fluent. To my untrained ear her Spanish sounds basic level but even still it's great that she's comfortable actually speaking the language.

 

[kokobombon]

^no, she´s not fluent. I thought she grew up in Mexico so I was suprised to listen to a full conversation... and even though she doesn´t have a mexican accent you can tell she learned spanish in Latin America and not in Spain (eg like Gwyneth, she has a spaniard accent).
gotta freshen up on my Lupita facts

Cute outfit, love the orange jeans and cute shoes.

 

[simplylovely]

^ Yes Love the shoes!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

She is on the May cover of Marie Claire.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

Love when she wears glasses.

 

[rubydon]

She was born in Mexico but returned with her parents to Kenya when she was just 1 year old, as I understand it. So whatever knowledge of Spanish that she has was acquired outside of Mexico.

 

[kokobombon]

^she moved back to Mexico when she was 16 to learn spanish in uni for seven months, according to her wiki page.

I didn't know about that! She's so well traveled. Thank you!
