Actress-Lupita Nyong’o Covers Vogue Magazine’s July Issue

Lupita-Nyongo Covers Vogue-July-2014

From BeyondGossip.Com

The star of the moment-Lupita Nyong’o has graced the cover of next month’s issue of the prestigious Vogue magazine with her black beauty and smile.This is her first Vogue cover and she looks great…

Inside the magazine-July 2014 issue, Lupita talks about it all, from her family and living out her dream to her red carpet experiences…

Check for excerpts from the magazine below…

On her team…

“You spend so much time with your glam squad,” says Lupita. “Their energy is the last thing you experience before you leave the hotel room—and they make it fun and light and manageable.”

On her red carpet experiences…

Before she embarked on her fashion marathon, “everyone said, ‘Brace yourself, Lupita! Keep a granola bar in that clutch of yours!’ ” she confides. “I didn’t really understand what they meant, and it was only once it was past that I realized that my body had been holding on by a thread to get through this very intense experience. Nothing can prepare you for awards season,” she continues. “The red carpet feels like a war zone, except you cannot fly or fight; you just have to stand there and take it.” She considers for a moment. “I hope they don’t make that the big quote!” she says, laughing. “Because that would be sad! Tell them not to do that!” She is quick to note that her “red carpet” self “is just one aspect of me; it doesn’t represent the entirety of me, which I am at peace with.”

On her family…

“My family is very close-knit,” she explains. “My aunt, who was an actor herself, would get all us children together to write and perform plays. I loved manipulating my parents’ emotions.” When her mother, Dorothy, cried out at the tragic denouement of one of the plays, Lupita remembers “feeling very powerful.”

They are clearly close; Dorothy has often accompanied her to awards shows, as have her siblings, including her acting-mad little brother, Peter. In Morocco, hearing that Dorothy fretted that her daughter wasn’t eating enough, Lupita spelled out I Love You with her Ksar Char-Bagh breakfast fruit and sent it to her as a charming freeze-frame iPhone video on Mother’s Day.

On her private life (the magazine makes mention of  K’Naan as her boyfriend)

“The safest thing is when I’m indoors in my world,” she says, which for the moment is an apartment in Brooklyn. When she isn’t cooking at home (“I like to cook whole fish. And I make some mean salads”), she is enjoying the borough’s unpretentious restaurants and bars.

On winning the Oscar…

“I had already gotten the nomination, which was truly, truly astounding, and enough,” she remembers. “Even in my dreams of being an actor, my dream was not in the celebrity. My dream was in the work that I wanted to do.” When her name was read out, the experience was, as she recalls, “very confusing, very numbing. I was just repeating my name in my head, so I didn’t know whether I had said my name or they had said my name! And then my little brother screamed, and time was suspended and it was just noise in my head”.

      • Before you step foot in oscar, hollywood, and fame you have to join the secret court. Without it you cant be considered as one. Only person not into the secret society is Nassir jones no wonder he’s so broke and cant even pay his mortgage. Lupita has sold her soul like any other celebrity.
