Cannes 2015 Lupita’s second Cannes The airport in Nice (closest airport to Cannes) is like a red carpet today. So many celebrities arriving ahead of the festival’s opening gala tomorrow.

Oscars 2015 Lupita & Jared: the Oscar sequel There's a shot of Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto from last night taken from behind them. And they were hanging out at the Vanity Party too.

Hook Ups Lupita & Leto: is the Heat happening? Heat. SAG Heat. That was the title of my post yesterday about Lupita Nyong’o and Jared Leto – click here for a refresher. As mentioned, my Video Assumption was that the way they were interacting with each other – as he pulled her closer while they were presenting and how she By Lainey • Jan 27, 2015 12:17 pm
Quiveration Lupita Nyong’o & Jared Leto: SAG heat It’s all in the Video Assumption. And Video Assumption is all about interpretation. My interpretation? Heat. Lupita Nyong’o and Jared Leto presented together last night at the SAGs. The winner was Mark Ruffalo who wasn’t there. So Jared edged Lupita over to talk into the microphone.

Gorgessity Who’s the Lupita of 2015? NO ONE! There’s only one Lupita Nyong’o every year but this year, none of the nominees are really breakouts in the way that Lupita was a breakout. The closest, I guess, would be Felicity Jones. But there’s not the same buzzzzzzz surrounding Jones. And, you know, another By Lainey • Jan 15, 2015 02:55 pm
Golden Globes 2015 Lupita Nyong’o: Globes Best Glasses Her purple lilac dress was stunning. It wasn’t just a lovely colour, the design of it was such that the colour seemed to drip down her body from her chest, as though she was covered in purple paint. Amazing. But the dress is only 80% of the equation. Her By Duana • Jan 12, 2015 05:50 am
Gorgessity Red Lupita Red is a big colour for Lupita Nyong’o. Remember at the Golden Globes? Lupita in that caped Ralph Lauren? That’s when EVERYONE took notice. That’s when she went next level.

Lupita Nyong’o Lupita’s responsibilities Lupita Nyong’o was in New York last night to receive her Glamour Woman of the Year Award. She wore white and gold. She was a goddess. The right kind of goddess – with responsibilities. “I am still a work in progress,” she told the audience. “To be woman is to By Lainey • Nov 11, 2014 10:34 am
Gorgessity Lupita of the single name She’s at that level, right? I don’t even need to say her full name. Lupita Nyong’o is a beautiful name, but if I just say “Lupita”, you know who I’m talking about. Musicians do it—Cher, Beyonce, Madonna, Britney, Adele, Lorde—but there aren’t as By Sarah • Nov 04, 2014 12:09 pm
Gorgessity Oh hi Lupita! It’s been a while since I posted about Lupita. There haven’t been many new pictures. Look! New pictures! Lupita was in London last night at the opening of the Bally’s flagship. Of course, the entire look was on point. The coat over the shoulders. But then when By Lainey • Oct 23, 2014 03:01 pm
Lupita Nyong’o Lupita & Elmo This is the cutest thing you’ll see all day. And it’s not that Sesame Street doesn’t always have a purpose, because of course kids are learning while they’re watching, but for Lupita, she’s always made it clear that, for her, there’s a consistency in By Lainey • Sep 17, 2014 11:54 am

Assy Style Lupita or Boring? Lupita Nyong’o wore something you probably hate to the CFDAs last night. Me? I’m all over it. The makeup. The colours. The shorts/pants. The length of the shorts/pants. I mean, it’s a fashion event. Why bother with a strapless ball gown or some forgettable cocktail By Lainey • Jun 03, 2014 11:28 am
