| Lupita Nyong'o has seen her star rise, including a best supporting actress Oscar for her first major role. In April 2014 she was named People magazine's most beautiful person of 2014. |
Lupita Nyong'o is having quite the ride.
The "12 Years a Slave"
actress has won an Oscar for best supporting actress, signed a deal with
cosmetics giant Lancôme to become its first black ambassador, and now
People magazine has bestowed one of its highest honors on her - "Most Beautiful person for 2014."
The Mexican-born Kenyan
beauty joins a cast of Hollywood A-listers who have headed the list,
including Julia Roberts, Cindy Crawford, Tom Cruise and Beyonce. This
year she topped others on the list including "The Americans" star Keri Russell, singer Pink and Johnny Depp's future wife, actress Amber Heard.
During the 2014 awards
season Nyong'o was often hailed for being one of the most fashionable on
the red carpet. She made headlines in February for a moving speech she
gave while accepting the best breakthrough performance award at the 7th
annual Black Women in Hollywood luncheon.
"I remember a time when I too felt unbeautiful," she said. "I put on the TV and only saw pale skin. I got teased and taunted about my night-shaded skin."
