Lupita Nyong'o has been named People's
'Most Beautiful' 2014
It sure is Lupita Nyong'o's year to shine!
The first-time Oscar winner was crowned as this
year's "Most Beautiful" by People magazine.
The mag announced who was awarded their
prestigious honor Wednesday morning.
"It was exciting and just a major, major
compliment," Nyong'o said of gracing the cover.
"I was happy for all the girls who would see me
on (it) and feel a little more seen."
The 31-year-old actress has certainly proved this
past year that she is beautiful both inside and
out.
Nyong'o received a ton of attention for her head-
turning red carpet fashion and her incredibly
moving speech after taking home the Academy
Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in
"12 Years a Slave."
The star, who was born in Mexico and brought
up in Kenya, told People her early views of
beauty were swayed by what she saw on
television.
"Light skin and long, flowing, straight hair," she
said. "Subconsciously you start to appreciate
those things more than what you possess."
Nyong'o sweetly said her mother Dorothy "always
said I was beautiful, and I finally believed her at
some point."
