Kenyan Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o, 31, has been named the world's most beautiful person for 2014 by People magazine.
She said she "never dreamed" she would be praised for her looks and find herself on the US weekly's cover.
Nyong'o shot to fame in the film 12 Years a Slave, winning the Oscar for best supporting actress last month.
She subsequently won her first major endorsement when she became the new face of French cosmetics giant Lancome.
Nyong'o said it was "exciting and a major, major compliment" to be on the cover of People.
"I was happy for all the girls who would see me on it and feel a little more seen," she is quoted by the magazine as saying.
She received an Academy Award this year in the category of Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Patsey in the Steve McQueen-directed film.

Note to dark skin black women: all you got to do is to allow yourself to be repeatedly ? and beaten by a white man for ? America to think you're beautiful...

Makes sense.
This list is never about who is the literal best looking woman, its just who's hot in the streets and happens to look good.
And i was the first person to say it was weird how people were pushing her beauty onto people, but considering how these lists work and who's won it before, this makes sense -
Natural >>>

I never watched the movie and this pics the first i seen of her. She might not be the most beautiful but she really is cute. I think she would look much better with long hair though.
