Lupita Nyong'o Gets GOLDEN For October 2015 Issue Of VOGUE.Pictures.

Lupita Nyong'o is VOGUE's newest cover girl, making her the second black woman to cover the fashion bible in two consecutive months (after Beyoncé covered the September issue) 
Rocking a golden Valentino Haute Couture dress embellished with hardware, laser cuts and shiny red details, Lupita is the epitome of FALL. By the way, let's not forget that this is Lupita's secondVOGUE cover.


Shot by VOGUE photogs MERT & MARCUS and styled by VOGUE stylist Tonne Goodman, the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens star is bringing the fabness we've come to love her for.
Ahead of her on-stage production she's set to star in called ECLIPSED, Lupita is dishing on fashion, her skin tone and Yale:
On being discouraged to act in Kenya because of her skin tone: “It didn’t ring true.”
On attending her first Couture shows: "When you know a dress is handmade, it completely changes the experience of wearing it.”

On her Yale actor education:“Before, I was just going on instinct, but Yale taught me that it’s about giving yourself permission to pretend.”

On mentoring in her home of Nairobi: “I wanted to go back to Kenya with something to say.”
Lupita, who will also star in Disney's Queen of Katwe soon, flossed in haute couture threads and posed with Picasso throughout her spread. Here's a taste of her sampling the Fall couture line-up. It's breathtaking:
