According to huffingtonpost.com, Lupita Nyong’o has accomplished another fashion feat. The ink has barely dried on her historic Lancôme Beauty Ambassador deal, and the Academy Award-winning star has landed one of Marie Claire’s five May covers, along with fellow actresses Elle Fanning, Kate Mara, Emilia Clarke and Elizabeth Olsen.
The actresses looked radiant Tuesday night in Hollywood while celebrating the glossy’s “Fresh Faces” issue. Both Elle and Kate opted for bold red-hued cocktail dresses, while Lupita turned heads in a light gray-and-blue floral embroidered Giambattista Valli frock. And Lupita’s showstopping look was further heightened by her fabulous new hairdo.
The 12 Years a Slave star has transformed her faded cut with a fake widow’s peak, Afro puffs, and dazzling headbands in the past. However, Tuesday night Lupita upped the ante by donning a faux mohawk/pompadour.

Nicki Minaj poses for the August cover of Marie Claire and in doing so, she became the first rapper to grace the magazine’s front page. The glossy features the YMCMB rapper in a cover spread where Minaj discusses her thoughts on music, men and motherhood. On the cover, Minaj sports a short blonde bob and an embellished plaid top. Yet inside the mag’s editorial spread, she dons a black, white and grey form-fitting dress, among many other curve-hugging ensembles.
The music star provided an in-depth interview and dishes about her former feuds and the possibility of crossing over to acting. “One day, when I start getting a couple gray hairs, maybe it will all be only acting,” she said. I just never know. . . I’ve kind of become the poster child for doing the things that no one expects.” The August issue of Marie Claire is on stands now.
