Oscar Winner Lupita Nyong’o Scores First ‘Vogue’ Cover! Talks About ‘Star Wars: Episode VII!’ [Instagram Photo]
After winning her Oscar for 12 Years Of Slave, Lupita Nyong'o has reached another huge milestone in her blossoming acting career. The Academy award winning actress celebrates her breakout year by nailing her first Vogue cover.
After landing on the cover of Vogue, the Non-Stop actress tells the high fashion magazine how her life has completely changed after the awards ceremony. The Best Supporting Actress has skyrocketed to being an A-List member of the Hollywood cast. That means everyone has an intensified interest on her next film project, which happens to be the Star Wars sequel.
Nyong'o describes how she sensed her personal anonymity going away, "It just feels like the entertainment industry exploded into my life." The Shuga TV star continues. "People who seemed so distant all of a sudden were right in front of me and recognizing me-before I recognized them!"

The Mexican-born Kenyan actress reminisces about watching R2-D2 and C3PO in the early films, "They just resonated with me. Being able to convey emotions with just a few digital sounds-it speaks of good storytelling." The Jungle Book voice star mentions, "It's a wonderful opportunity to be working in these fantastical realms. They're worlds away from 12 Years a Slave, that's for sure-but that kind of diversity is what dreams are made of."
After delivering such a raw emotional performance in the drama, all eyes will want to want to see what Nyong'o brings to the sci-fi blockbuster movie.
The issue of Vogue, with Lupita Nyong'o on the cover, hits newsstands in July. Readers, are you excited to see Nyong'o's next feature film?
