Le Look Du Jour: Actress Lupita Nyong'o For Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2014 Campaign

As I said yesterday: "actress Lupita Nyong'o is on a roll." All I can is to enjoy this attention why you can because folks are fickle, you're hot one moment and then it's on to the next popular or hot thing and then they'll ignore you.

The lovely Lupita has been tapped for the Italian luxury brand, Miu Miu's 2014 Spring/Summer ad-campaign with her peers: Elle Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen and Bela Heathcote. The ad campaign was shot by the uber talented photo team, Inez & Vinoodh.

It Girl: Actress Lupita Nyong'o Is On A Roll!

I haven't received my February issue of ESSENCE Magazine through my digital issues yet, so that can only mean that they've got one of their 'repeat cover' subjects on the cover, or they have a surprise cover featuring one of our favorites. Anyway, Lupita Nyong'o shares the February issue of W Magazine with Oprah and four other celebrities for their movie issue and while I was reading my digital issue of Vanity Fair this morning, she was inside their February issue wearing a stunning Givenchy gown. Talk about "girl on fire!"

Girl On Fire: Actress Lupita Nyong'o for ELLE UK FEBRUARY 2014

I'm going to celebrate Lupita Nyong'o and other women who would not normally receive the promotion and praise for their beauty just as long as I have a platform. Folks don't realize that while they're waiting for members of the mainstream media to promote their own ideas of beauty, there are many of us who self-validate our own existence and celebrate our beauty without waiting on the approval of others.

Lupita's beauty was captured by the super talented photographer James O. Roberts for the February 2014 issue of ELLE UK.

Live At The Bowery Ballroom: Miss Lauryn Hill

I don't need to write the words to express my enthusiasm and excitement to see the iconic Miss Lauryn Hill take center stage, because these photos speak those words for me. Miss Lauryn Hill was beautifully captured in her element by photographer Wei Shi on the first leg of her concert tour which started in Manhattan's Bowery Ballroom in December 2013 looking just as beautiful as ever. Enjoy!
