My first thought was "Who is this girl next to Brad Pitt?" And then I did some research and found out her name was Lupita Nyong'o. And when I saw this picture
And I'm pretty sure that's when I fell in love.
After TIFF, I waited and waited for the movie's official release and while I waited, I tried to find out more about her (there wasn't really much). Her Wikipedia page wasn't very detailed (it didn't even have her age) and all I found was that she was born in Mexico and she was on a Kenyan TV Show called Shuga.
Anyway after the movie got released, I didn't really expect her to become super popular so when I saw her InStyle Magazine Editorial I was like "YAAAAY! Lupita's in a Magazine!" little did I know, she would go on to be on the cover of like 24566777884555665 magazines lol.
Anyway, since then i've grown more obsessed with her and I'm going to patiently wait (or at least try to) while she picks her next project.
Okay, lets get on with the list.
1) she wears every color of the rainbow perfectly
2) her face and skin was crafted specifically by God
3) she's brilliant! everything she says is quotable. talk about master of the English language
4) but she's also really youthful, fun and funny.
5) she has enchanted literally everyone (except the hateful trolls but lets not discuss them)
I'm pretty sure Oprah volunteered to be the god mother of her first child.
Jennifer Lawrence impersonating everyone's first reaction to seeing Lupita
I say the same thing every time I see a picture of Jared Leto and Lupita Nyong'o - CHEMISTRY!!!
6) she's not afraid to talk about her past insecurities and her journey to self love
7) she is so gracious and appreciative!
9) Her portrayal of Patsey was heartbreaking and beautiful. that's a character that will stay with you forever
10) she understands what her presence means. She knows it means a lot.
