Black is always beautiful. Ladies, grab your tissues.
Lupita Nyong’o gives us another reason to love her.
Yesterday Thursday 27th February 2014, African-American publication Essence Magazine held its 7th Annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon in Beverly Hills, California, USA.
Guests include Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Gayle King, Kerry Washington, Michael Ealy, Chaka Khan, Ledisi, Angela Bassett and Tracee Ellis Ross.
Lupita who is nominated for an Oscar for her role as Patsey in 12 Years a Slave, was honoured at the event. She arrived looked stunning as always in a white sleeveless crop top and skirt from Giambattista Valli‘s Spring 2014 collection.
When accepting her award, Lupita who was introduced by Alfre Woodard - her co-star, discussed on dark beauty. I think we can all agree that part of Lupita’s success is because of her skin colour.
She spoke on how a fan wrote a letter that she wanted to buy Dencia‘s “Whitenicious”, her battle with being black and accepting that she is a black beauty.
