The queen of Hollywood glam, and slayer of every red carpet this awards season, Lupita Nyong'o, has nabbed her very first Academy Award!
Our favorite A-List fashionista took home an Oscar for "Best Supporting Actress" tonight for her role in the Steve McQueen directed film, "12 Years A Slave."
After winning, the gorgeous Lupita took to the stage and wowed in a deep plunging Prada pastel blue chiffon gown, and delivered a very emotional acceptance speech, giving thanks to those who made her win possible, and also recognizing the lives of people whose story she helped bring to life.
"Yes! It doesn't escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life [at one time] was so much pain in someone else's...Thank you so much."
When speaking about her new found golden little man, the actress added, "When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every other child that no matter where you're from, your dreams are valid."
YAASSS to "your dreams are valid!" Like Oprah always says, "tweetable moment!"
This is Lupita's first Academy Award nomination. Congrats!!!
