There is no debate when it comes to the beauty that actress Lupita Nyong’o exudes every time we see her. In a word, her looks are flawless, and she serves them just as well as she serves up any acting role she is given.
From Patsey in 12 Years a Slave—a role for which she won an Oscar—to Black Panther to the dual roles she played in Jordan Peele’s Us, Nyong’o is a marvel and a Hollywood treasure.
When the moving picture cameras stop rolling, it doesn’t stop her shine, and the October cover of Vanity Fair proves just that. As she stunts in Gucci, Jimmy Choo and jewelry from Tiffany & Co., Nyong’o discusses everything from her style influences (her mom and her aunt), to keeping her private life private and upcoming projects that include another turn in the Star Wars universe and a television adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah.

The 36-year-old actress, who was born in Mexico City and spent the first few months of her life there before her family moved on to New York City, was sent by her parents to learn Spanish at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México’s Learning Center for Foreigners in Taxco, Mexico, when she was just 16 years old. She would later take a deep dive into African studies at Hampshire College in Massachusetts before studying drama at Yale.
“I feel like there’s parts of myself that I care to share and then there are parts that I don’t,” she said.
The parts she has chosen to share with Vanity Fair for their October cover story are equal parts beautiful, endearing, stylish and insightful.
