Cop a gander of Lupita Nyong’o!

The actress and style stunner invited US Vogue to her native Kenya for a captivating photoshoot.

Posing in a number of East African ensembles, the 33-year-old is surrounded by family and townsfolk.

Lensed by Mario Testino, the feature comes at an apt time for the star, who is gearing up for the theatrical release of her new movie ‘Queen of Katwe’ (which hits cinemas September 30th).

Speaking on her success story (which includes countless endorsements and high profile roles), she said…

“I want to create opportunities for other people of color because I’m fortunate enough to have a platform to do that. That is why Eclipsed and even Queen of Katwe are so important, to change the narrative, offer a new lens on African identity.”
