Hi cupcakes!

For those of us who just cant wait to move into the new year, ELLE is your teleport machine and the Gorgeous Lupita Nyong'o is your captain!


The Twelve Years A Slave actress, Lupita Nyong'o is the star cover for ELLE magazine January 2016, and my word! How she slays!
This award winning stunner had a lot to share with ELLE on fame , diversity and so much more. Here are some juicy excerpts from her interview below!

On Acting Starwars:
'The opportunity to play a CGI character for me was the opportunity to not be limited by my physical circumstances. I could experience being bigger or smaller, something totally different to who I am. And of course its in a galaxy far, far away.'

On Insecurities:
'[Living in Mexico as a child] people would stop and take pictures of us just because we were black. And it was a time during that tricky adolescent phase when you're coming into yourself and trying to pave your own way but you're insecure about where you lie. It devastated me'

On Fame:
'I don't think being conspicuous is a state we're supposed to live in, or at least not permanently. I wish there was a dial we could turn up and down. And in a sense I can by making very deliberate choices about what to do and how, and with whom.'
