Lupita Nyong’o Is Elle Magazine’s November 2016 Cover Star; Styles In A Dolce & Gabbana Jumpsuit

Oscar Award winning actress Lupita Nyong’o is Elle magazine‘s November 2016 cover star; this issue is dubbed the ‘The Women in Hollywood‘ issue.

For this issue, the Kenyan beauty was lensed by Dan Martensen. Samira Nasr handled styling duties. On the cover, Nyong’o wears a Dolce & Gabbana Jumpsuit.

On her success, despite an agent telling her that her skin was “too dark for African television”:

“I grew up with a very limited mirror of myself. I watched a lot of TV, but the people on it were always light skinned. And now I have a platform that takes me into people’s houses and onto the pages of their magazines.”
