From "12 Year a Slave" To The Front Row Of Fashion Weeks.

I don't think there is any one in this world who doesn't know who Lupita Nyong´o is, and if so I'm here to enlighten them.
Lupita was born in Mexico, raised in Kenya. She comes from a quite prestigious family, both parents being politicians.
 It was a struggle for Lupita choosing what she wanted to be, growing up, specially coming from a family such as the one she comes from. She has been producing and directing some other movies in the past, and she has her own book, concerning social problems in Kenya, Africa. Finally she decided to follow her dream and become an actress, being inspired by Woopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey in the movie  "The Color Purple", and went to study in the Yale University of School of Drama.

Few years later she had her first feature film role in a Steve McQueens movie, "12 Years a Slave". She earned the Academy Award for best supporting actress, among other awards and nominations. Nyong´o is the firs Kenyan to win the Academy Award. She was named " The Most Beautiful Woman" by People magazine and "Woman of the Year" by Glamour magazine, Face of Miu Miu Spring campaign and first black ambassador of Lancome. Nyong´o is on the July cover of Vogue, making her the second African woman and the ninth black woman to be on the cover.

So this you can also find it on Wikipedia and broader, why is it that I have decided to make a post about her. I already loved her when she was awarded with the price, but I totally fell in love when i got to know her better, searching more about her life. She is such an inspiration to many people. Despite her background she is a hard working, compassion, humble,brilliant and ambitious woman. She is definitely inspiring other young women to pursue their dreams, because after all dreaming is for free.and its fun, so why not do it.What really touched me in her Massachusetts women conference speech was that she want to make movies that will make a difference in peoples life's, meaningful movies. And of course her great sense of style made me love her more, come on, I don't think anyone will forget that beautiful sky blue Prada dress.
In the sense of fashion, she is fun, elegant,classy, colourful, unpredictable and definitely not boring. Lupita does know what to wear for every occasion, but in this post will be seeing more of her daily personal style.
