The world still remembers the day this Hollywood sensation became the first-ever Kenyan to win an Academy Award for her role in “12 Years a Slave.” She is also remembered for her stunning blue Cinderella Prada gown at the 2013 Oscar Awards when she was voted the best supporting actress. One year after her well-deserved Oscar, Lupita was named the most beautiful woman in the world by People magazine.
