Lupita Nyong’o Flawlessly Covers Vogue Magazine For the Second Time. 

Despite our fears that the Lupita Nyong’o flames might burn out shortly after her historic Oscar win for her portrayal of Patsey in Steve McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave - her first leading role in a Hollywood film, if there’s one thing her second (yes, second!) Vogue cover proves it’s that this is really just the beginning. And what a beautiful beginning it is.

Highlighting the Kenyan actresses love of fashion, the editorial sees Lupita take on the life of the ultimate luxury-living city-dwelling woman, donning fall couture garments made by Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci Haute Couture, Schiaparelli Haute Couture, Maison Margiela, Atelier Versace, Dior Haute Couture, Gaultier Paris, Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda, and Valentino Haute Couture.    

The accompanying interview further complements these scenes and accounts for Lupita’s attitude to style as she comments, “Presentation is extremely important in Kenya. You dress formally. You can’t just wear flip-flops. My mother always had her own style. She wore A-line, tea-length flowery dresses, very well fitting. Her nails were always perfectly done.”
