Lupita Nyong'o Named PEOPLE Magazine's MOST BEAUTIFUL Person In The World of 2014

[Jazzy B.]

So Lupita can't be critiqued?


So not finding Lupita attractive, means you don't like "dark skin" or "black women"?

It can't be because she doesn't have "body", ass or cups


Or even because of the shape-up

Seems like the only one's who are are making this about "dark skin" and "light skin" are the overly conscious and sensitive faux militants

Re: Naomi Campbell. The high fashion industry is white, you know that.

Black outlets heavily promoted her as well

Black women needing validation from White people. Typical.

Its not right until the white man says it is or the white women does it too

She is beautiful but she she needs to grow her damn hair out. I'm not trying to get a taper with my chic. A whole bunch of black women are going to start cutting the little hair they have off.

Here's your Kenyan piff. First ones mines.

Spoiler

You makin' me look like a liar when I said Kenyans were hot breh, those hoes are horrible, the last one is semi ok. And there's trailer trash in Kenya too?

I dont know what direction this thread went in (I only read like 4 post)...but there is no way in hell a bunch of grown ass men should be going on and on about a chick making it on the cover of People.

But the irony here is you giving white people all the credit in the first place. Black people noticed Lupita first; Black people noticed her beauty first.

She may have won an Oscar for her role as the slave Patsey in Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave and recently landed a contract with Lancome Paris, but Lupita Nyong'o "never dreamed" she would be touted as "Most Beautiful" for all the world to see.

"It was exciting and just a major, major compliment," the 31-year-old says of gracing this year's cover. And especially, " I was happy for all the girls who would see me on [it] and feel a little more seen ."

Born in Mexico and raised in Kenya, Nyong'o first equated beauty with what she saw on television: "Light skin and long, flowing, straight hair," she says. "Subconsciously you start to appreciate those things more than what you possess." Her mother, Dorothy, who is the managing director and head of PR for the Africa Cancer Foundation, "always said I was beautiful," Nyong'o adds. "And I finally believed her at some point."

As a teen, Nyong'o dyed her hair every color – except blonde – and even went as far as shaving her head bald. "It was very strange and very cold!" she says, laughing. "It was scary but I like to dare myself."

Now she says the best compliments are "when I have been called beautiful with not one drop of makeup on ," she adds. "And also before I comb my hair or put on a pretty dress.

Happiness is the most important thing ."

i wanna like//root for Lupy but she be getting to chummy with Hollywood cacs and the media promotion of her is suspicious which makes me wonder if she bed wenched for mainstream acceptance like the popular black actresses(Sanaa Lathan,Halle,Zoe Saldana,etc)before her...that being said i can't be that upset an attractive ethnic looking African/black sister being praised on a global scale for her beauty.
