It is safe to say every woman has had beauty-lapsing
moments. Those moments you lock yourself indoors just because your mirror says
Snow White, unfortunately, is fairer than you –‘How dare she?! If only this pimple
understood how unwelcome a guest it is on my face, I would be the fairest of
all’. Or those cringe-worthy moments your fashion game isn’t on 'fleek' and the
whole world notices, but you – until much later. The beautiful and talented Lupita Nyong’o sadly doesn’t escape
this plight.
Hollywood doesn’t play when it comes to award events. Inasmuch
as these events are aimed primarily at gathering the crème de la crèmes in the industry and
awarding their talent, all we fashion lovers see is a gathering of STYLE! It is
a time to increase our fashion-radar frequency; find out those who take our breath
away and those who choke us. Where does Lu' stand?

| Lupita Nyong'o in Prada |
This was the jaw-dropping, breathtaking moment for me. Lu' wore a light-blue custom Prada gown - that looked perfect against her dark skin tone - to the '014 Oscars. She became a woman after our fashion hearts.
Fast-forward few months later and this 'choking' moment happened...

| Lupita Nyong'o in Giambattista Valli Couture |
... she wore this purple and lilac Giambattista Valli dress - that did
absolutely nothing to and for her figure - to the '015 Golden Globes.
There are two major reasons why this outfit was a complete fail:
1. Having a boyish figure, this dress does nothing to cinch in and accentuate her waist. 2. Yes, it is advisable for those who are flat-chested to go for ruffled or feathered tops; it gives the illusion of a larger bust, but less is always more. Its as though this designer said: 'oh, i want to make you half bird and half human' but then realized how wrong that decision was a little too late.
The comeback!
