Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o named "Most Beautiful Woman" by PEOPLE
By Tenisha Mercer

Add another award to Lupita Nyong'o's long list of honors: She's been named the World's Most Beautiful Woman by PEOPLE Magazine.
Quite an honor for the 12 Years A Slave actress. Nyong'o, 31, grew up thinking that "light skin and flowing, straight hair" made women desirable, but it was her mother who "always said I was beautiful. And I finally believed her at some point."
This is clearly Lupita's year -- and it's so well deserved.
The Oscar winner is now the new face for Lancôme Paris and is honored because "all the girls who would see me … and feel a little more seen."
Amen.

MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet Fashions: Lupita Nyong'o, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj
By Tenisha Mercer

The MTV Movie Awards in LA on Sunday had some fashion hits ...and misses.
Academy Award wining actress Lupita Nyong'o showed up in a beautiful tribal inspired outfit (12 Years A Slave won Movie of the Year). Rihanna on the other hand, showed up looking like she was ready for a sexy evening in boudoir fashions. Appropriate for the bedroom, but on the red carpet?
Two very different looks. Which one do you like more?
Here's an upclose look at what Lupita wore. I love her hair -- is that a kiny hair piece? And the shoes be killin' `em.
And Nicki Minaj wore a simple, understated black dress with gold accessories, as well as much simpler sideswept hair with ombre highlights. I really like the look on Nicki.

What will Lupita Wear at the Academy Awards?
By Tenisha Mercer

Oscar nominee Lupita Nyong'o has killed it on the red carpet -- and now everyone is wondering what the Hollywood startlet will wear to the Oscars on Sunday. The 12 Years a Slave Actress has tried on about 100 dresses.

Of course, we hope she'll win. Whatever she wears, I'm sure it will be colorful and stunning. Her pre-Oscar regime? Avocado oil on her skin and hair. And she'll reportedly have two stylists who may try something a little different with her hair? I wonder what?
Nyong'o struggles with skin acceptance
Nyong'o recently revealed that she has struggled with her skin complexion. Amazing now considering that her rich skin tone is the main thing that most people talk about when it comes to her beauty. That, and her amazing acting skills, of course.
She told a crowd at Essence Magazine's 7th Annual Women in Hollywood luncheon that when she was younger, she wished her skin was lighter.
"I got teased and taunted about my skin," Nyong'o said. "My one prayer to God was that I would wake up lighter skinned. The morning would come and I would be so excited about seeing my new skin that I would refuse to look down at myself until I was in front of the mirror because I wanted to see my face first. Every day I would feel the disappointment of being just as dark as the day before."
Beauty in another face
Until she saw Sudanese super model Alek Wek, Nyong'o finaly began to accept her skin color.
"She was dark as night and was in all the magazines and on runways," Nyong'o said. "My complexion had always been an obstacle to overcome. I couldn't believe that people were embracing a woman who looked so much like me as beautiful. It was perplexing and I wanted to reject it because I had begun to enjoy the seduction of inadequacy. But a flower couldn't help but bloom inside of me."

HairSpiration: Short Natural Hair
By Tenisha Mercer
www.HairNista.Blogspot.com
I love a short cut -- whether relaxed or natural. But these actresses' natural cuts are so beautiful that even. I'm eyeing the clippers! I love it when a woman with natural hair wears -- and owns -- her short hairstyle. Not because she has to (big chop as a transition) but because she chooses to (not grow out her hair).
Essence.com profiled some of the best short natural hairstyles worn by Hollywood entertainers and models.
Couldn't agree more!

Love ery'thang about this pic -- her hair +makeup -- of 12 Years A Slave breakout star Lupita Nyong'o    
Best Man Holiday actress Monica Calhoun looks absolutely STUNNING in her short curly do! I wish she would banish wearing wigs/weaves in her acting roles forever; they do nothing for her natural beauty and all the hair covers her beautiful natural features.
