Fast rising actress-Lupita Nyong’o,30,  of “12 Years A Slave” fame who has already scored a Golden Globe nomination, Oscars nomination, a few magazine covers has become a victim of skin lightening by Vanity Fair—this is what some section of the public are upset about.

Beautiful Lupita who is originally from Kenyan has been featured in February’s issue of Vanity Fair and ahead of the release, Vanity Fair tweeted a photo from the feature.

The photo which is far from the beautiful dark colour of Lupita seems lightened or at least, the photo shoot was given excessive light to make the actress look lighter than we know her to be.

It is the above which is upsetting several social media users who tweeted their disappointed back to Vanity Fair after they saw the photo.

What do you think? Why can’t the big media platforms accept dark as dark and stop this photo lightening? This is why folks like Yvonne Nelson will never stop using their skin lightening products—we seem to be all saying, light skin rules.
