An Oscar Debut That Became a Fashion Story
Lupita Nyong'o's biography joins an acting breakthrough and a fashion breakthrough in the same two years. Born in Mexico and raised in Kenya, she attended college in the United States, earning a Bachelor's degree in film and theater studies from Hampshire College and completing a master's degree in acting in 2012 from the Yale School of Drama. She started in the film industry as a production assistant, made her acting debut with the short film East River in 2008, returned to Kenya to star in the television series Shuga in 2009, and wrote, produced and directed the documentary In My Genes the same year. Her first feature film role, Patsey in 12 Years a Slave in 2013, won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
The fashion record followed immediately. She has been a regular on Harper's Bazaar's Derek Blasberg's best dressed listing since the autumn of 2013 — the awards season of her debut film — and in 2014 People named her "The Most Beautiful Woman" and Glamour named her "Woman of the Year." Miu Miu chose her as one of the faces for its spring campaign, alongside Elizabeth Olsen, Elle Fanning and Bella Heathcote, Lancôme announced her as its new face, and she appeared on covers including New York's spring fashion issue and the UK magazine Dazed & Confused. Few pages in this guide document so direct a line from a first film role to campaign contracts with major fashion and beauty houses, which is why her red-carpet appearances drew the volume of blog coverage this page collects.
