A-List or D-List Fashion: '12 Years A Slave' Actress Lupita Nyong'o


If there was a Homecoming Queen for Hollywood celebs, I'd like to think the crown would go to none other than actress Lupita Nyong'o for the night. Hands down, this chick is killing em...

The fresh faced Yale graduate (yes Yale graduate!) came onto the scene in the fall of 2013 for her breakout role in Oscar worthy film '12 Years A Slave' as field slave Patsy.

Since her coming out party the 30-year-old has managed to keep everyone's eyes glued on her captivating red carpet choices!

Which leads me to my next question A-Listers; Does her style represent A-List or D-List?

Take a look below for some of Lupita's most alluring looks thus far, but first check out some fun facts on one of Hollywood's newest breakout stars.

*Lupita received the role as Patsy in '12 Years A Slave' just three weeks after graduating from Yale School of Drama. Now that's what you call a fast break!

*While studying for her breakout role Lupita received a harsh history lesson in slavery, and learned that the skin of dead slaves was used to make bags and wallets. "It doesn't get more horrific than that..." says Lupita when speaking of the crucial treatment, and I say...AGREED!

*Lupita wears many hats! The actress also writes, produces, and directs. In 2009 she produced a documentary titled 'In My Genes' about the treatment of Kenya's albino population.

Seen here in a Carolina Herrera blue and gold dress with blue suede Manolo Blahnik pumps to match:

 









Luminous skin, gorgeous cheek bones, a sleek lean body frame, and an effortless sense of style; I'd say this girl can do no wrong. A-List for me!
