8 Things about Lupita Nyong’o through the Lens of Leading American Online News Aggregator and Blog
Decency, class and sheer talent are the words that best describe Kenyan Hollywood actress, Lupita Nyong’o. Lupita is living proof that you can make it, without bearing it all to the public. And we’re not the only ones who have noticed her impeccability.
Over the weekend, American Online news aggregator and blog, Huffington Post, paid a glowing tribute to the screen goddess.
Check out all the fascinating facts they’ve learnt about the star;
1. She hates to shop. Seriously! Although we can’t believe it.
2. But, she “adores” working with her stylist Micaela Erlanger.
3. She thinks Anna Wintour is “sweet” and “gracious.” Gasp!
