Beloved actor Lupita Nyong’o has not taken up painting. But today’s Harper’s Bazaar UK[IG] November 2024 cover story reminds us that not all fashion photography sets are created equal. Nyong’o covers Bazaar UK’s ‘The Art Issue: a celebration of colour, craftsmanship, pattern and print.’
Photographer Alexi Lubomirski [IG] hits all the high notes in a fashion story styled by Miranda Almond for Chanel’s newest global ambassador.Gorgeous and right on the money in terms of a huge trend emerging.
White Skin Does NOT Reflect God’s Will
Lupita again speaks of the issue of skin color — one we’ve written about many times, along with featuring her mind-changing interview with Alek Wek.
The actor has frequently told the stories of praying to God as a young woman, beseeching the divine to make her skin lighter.
Anne has done a lot of research on this topic and puts a new spin on this set of outrageous Christian beliefs about skin color.
Lupita Nyong’o scores another cover story, this month in Marie Claire Australia [IG] August 2024 issue. Fashion director Naomi Smith styles the costar of ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ in Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Sportmax, Stella McCartney and more.

Alley Pascoe conducts the interview, and ‘darn’, we don’t learn in the digital version what Lupita is talking about when she says: “I was in my underwear thinking, ‘This is how I’m going to die.’ And I just started laughing uncontrollably.”’
Beloved actor Lupita Nyong’o covers Glamour magazine June 2024, serving four powerhouse covers that project strength, confidence and high-voltage modernity across Britain, Germany, Mexico and the US.
The fashion message styled by Rachel Wang presents a sleek, bodycon fashion statement in pure red and leopard prints lensed by Adrienne Raquel [IG].
Superstar Lupita Nyong’o had such a severe fear of cats, that she begged director Michael Sarnoski to employ a different animal for her role in the new horror film ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’.
For Lupita, the film production coincided with a deeply sad time in her life, self-described as a ‘season of heartbreak’ over the end of her public relationship with Selema Masekela.
A voice in a devastated Nyong’o said, 'Get a cat.”
In an effort to strengthen their longstanding relationship, the government of Botswana, the world’s second largest diamond producer, and De Beers, the world's leading diamond company, renewed their diamond mining partnership for an expected 10-year duration.
Final details are being worked out, but Botswana’s biggest complaints about the old agreement are resolved.
Under the old agreement, Botswana received 25 percent of the rough stones extracted, while De Beers took the remaining 75 percent.
Moving to Equal Diamond Sharing
Immediately, Botswana will receive a 30 percent share, with an escalating increase to 50 percent within a decade. De Beers and Botswana officials have both confirmed this change.
