“She woke up like dis…” Lupita Nyong’o Covers Marie Claire Magazine Hollyweird ‘IT’ girl Lupita Nyong’o is everywhere these days and she’s landed yet another magazine feature as the cover girl for Marie Claire’s 2014 “Fresh Faces” issue. In addition to striking a few poses for the camera, Lupita also spoke briefly about being known for her beauty, not being a fashionista before fame and more. Check out a few excerpts from the interview below. via Marie Claire On being called ‘gorgeous:’ “Being called gorgeous is not a bad thing!” says Lupita Nyong’o, blushing over an omelet, berries, and tea (she doesn’t like coffee) at The Carlyle hotel in New York City. “But at the same time, I don’t want to thrive on people’s opinions of me.” On her fashion sense: I wasn’t a follower of fashion. It was a world unknown. Then I met my stylist, Micaela Erlanger and we came to interpret my style: clean lines, strong color. I don’t dress to impress; I don’t feel that pressure.” On how she’d describe the feeling of waiting to see if she’s won at award shows: I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It’s an internally loud moment. It’s not even about the outcome; it’s about the agony of the unknown. It’s like waiting for test results in a hospital. On the perks of fame: I met Sidney Poitier, who has been someone I’ve looked up to and a blessing from afar. It was an incredible thing and something that I hold very dear to my heart. Gotta love this girl, riiiggght?
