Lupita, Lupita, Lupita!

Lupita Nyong'o is my new fashion favorite, and I'm not alone according to Vogue's best dressed list. Readers voted Lupita the clear winner in head-to-toe Prada as worn to the Toronto Film Festival premiere of her new movie, 12 Years a Slave. It probably doesn't hurt that she's absolutely gorgeous, undeniably and universally so. With Oscar buzz already swirling, I simply can't wait to see how her acting career unfolds. In the meantime...

Dearest Vogue: Please, oh please, feature Lupita in an upcoming editorial. She's not only beautiful and apparently a great actress, but widely acknowledged as a rising style star. I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks so much, Desiré (cc: Anna Wintour)
