Our very own African Queen, Kenya Beau Lupita Nyong'o looks absolutely amazing like she always does while walking the red carpet at the 2014 Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday.
Lupita Nyong'o has dazzled in a veritable rainbow of dresses throughout Award Season, and she didn't disappoint on the 86th Academy Awards red carpet. The "12 Years a Slave" actress chose a gorgeous sky blue Prada gown for her big night.The gown was custom-made for her, and she chose the color because it reminded her of her home country. "It's a blue that reminds me of Nairobi so I wanted to have a little bit of home," she said. It's official: That dress color shall now officially be known as Nairobi blue.
With her Oscar win for her searing portrayal of Patsey in “12 Years a Slave,” Lupita Nyong’o became the 15th actress to win an Oscar in her film debut.The 30-year-old joins such notables as Barbra Streisand, Julie Andrews, Marlee Matlin, Eva Marie Saint and Jennifer Hudson. She was cast in the role by director Steve McQueen three weeks before graduating from Yale Drama School.“It does not escape me that so much of the joy in my life comes from the pain of someone else,” said the radiant Kenyan-Mexican actress in her acceptance. “And so I want to salute the spirit of Patsey.”
