Lupita Nyong'o glows with colour as Marie Claire's May 2014 cover girl

Barely a week after landing a deal as the first black face of Lancome, Lupita looks beautiful and vibrant on the cover of Marie Claire May 2014 issue as one of the “Fresh Faces” of 2014. Lupita opened up on her nerves shortly before she was announced as an Oscar winner

“I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It’s not even about the outcome; it’s about the agony of the unknown. It’s like waiting for test results in a hospital.”

The May issue has 5 covers  featuring Kate Mara, Emilia Clarke, Elizabeth Olsen, and Elle Fanning
