Like an express train Lupita Nyong’o has blazed into town AKA global consciousness and is making more than a grand entrance with her fashion selections, her ability to rock EVERY color imaginable to man, her statuesque beauty and her Oscar-winning performance in 12 Years A Slave.

Ms. Nyong’o is Kenyan… and Mexican, born in Mexico to Kenyan parents, raised in Kenya and according to imdb.com educated at Yale in the USA.

Lupita is a trendsetter. End of story. She keeps her TWA-with-a-fade fresh with accessories, parts and other coiffure ingenuity. Fashion-wise, with the deluge of TV appearances, movie press junkets, interviews, fashion week appearances and red carpet domination, Lupita has earned a growing following and lots of great friends along the way, including natural hair icon Tracee Ellis Ross of Girlfriends fame (below). She is the epitome of beauty and grace. So we’ll just take a minute to appreciate the awesomeness that is Lupita Nyong’o.
