In today’s edition of Least Surprising News in the World, Lupita Nyong’o‘s inevitable (and well-deserved) Vogue cover and shoot is out and it’s as beautiful as we expected. The Oscar-winner, Lancôme spokesperson, People Magazine‘s Most Beautiful Person, and all-around lovely human was interviewed by Hamish Bowles and photographed by Mikael Jansson for the July issue, and is literally glowing on the cover in a printed Prada dress.

Our favourite part of this gorgeous look is Lupita’s matchy-matchy nails, dress and lips. What was once a major style faux-pas is now a trend we stand firmly behind. In the past few seasons, monochromatic looks have really become one of the freshest ways to elevate your style, and that goes for makeup as well. Lupita’s very berry cover is bold, bright and perfectly suited for summer. Game, set, match.

Speaking of nails, a quick peek at Lupita Nyong’o’s Instagram page tells us that she’s a huge fan of the classic and widely beloved manicure shot. From a round French mani to bright orange on animal print, the woman knows how to do a glam hand shot.

Take a look at our favourite Nyong’o nails (in case you’re wondering: no, #NyongoNails is not an existing hashtag and yes, that is outrageous), as well as some of her most memorable makeup looks. Do you have a favourite Lupita look? Tell us in the comments below!
