Lupita Nyong'o has cemented her place in film fans' hearts this year with her breakthrough role as Patsey in "12 Years a Slave." The 30-year-old actress — along with her co-stars, director and the film itself — is up for an Academy Award on Sunday.
Through Nyong'o's Instagram feed, we get a sense of more than the fact that she's a talented actress. Her photographs and the people she interacts with convey a level of beauty, charm and style that are always a welcome component to a very long awards season. On Thursday she took home the best breakthrough performance award at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon and she delivered a moving speech about skin tone and beauty that is worth reading.
Nyong'o is clearly appreciative of the attention and accolades that "12 Years a Slave" has brought, as she excitedly announces talk show appearances, or shares the covers of magazines on which she appears. Take a look at more of her images, and check back Sunday to see how she shines on the Oscars red carpet, and whether she can pull off another win.
Nyong'o has dazzled with colorful gowns throughout awards season. Here she is after the BAFTA Awards in London.
