It was only a matter of time before the beautiful Lupita Nyong'o would land a Vogue cover. We all obsessed and spoke about it, but it wound up happening a lot sooner than any of us predicted. The Oscar winner graced the cover of the legendary fashion magazine's July issue and wow does she look STUNNING as ever! This woman is truly breathtaking!

There was no way in hell Vogue wasn't eventually going to have Lupita rock their cover. The girl has been turning heads with her fierce and fashionable red carpet looks, she just won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in her role in 12 Years a Slave and she's one of the most confident and elegant women in Hollywood right now. Anna Wintour would have to be losing her marbles to not see how Vogue-worthy Lupita really is.
And let me tell you, the entire editorial spread perfectly reflects Lupita's bright and bold style. It was shot in a luxurious, upscale spa in Marrakech, Morocco and in bazaar markets too. The colors are incredible and she looks–to put it simply–PERFECT! One of my favorites is this shot of her in a bathtub filled with roses. The wall against the tub is this deep, dark teal shade and her hair is shiny and orange bringing out her skin's golden undertones. You can check out all the pictures from the shoot on Vogue.com.
In celebration of Lupita landing her very first Vogue cover, I wanted to honor her by pointing out her best beauty moments. Check them out!

45th NAACP Image Awards
Lupita looked stunning in a copper-colored Givenchy gown at the 45th Annual NAACP Image Awards in February. Her makeup was flawless and her split afro hairstyle was so cute. Look at that beautiful, bronzy complexion!
'Non-Stop' premiere
Is it me or does Lupita have a thing for blue eye makeup? She rocked a shimmery cobalt liner on both her upper and lower lids at the premiere of Non-Stop that winged out into a cat-eye. Her nude lips complimented the look.
2014 Oscar awards
The girl looked like a princess at the Oscar awards this year. I absolutely loved her fresh makeup look and the way she wore her hair. That jeweled headband added the perfect touch.
'Marie Claire' May Cover stars event
I don't know how a woman with such short hair is always able to pull off so many different hairstyles. At the Marie Claire Celebrates May Covers event she showed up looking radiant with a heightened and fabulous new do.' It looked like a combination of a mohawk and pompadour and she was working it!
2014 MTV Movie Awards
I literally couldn't take my eyes off of her at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards. First she hits the red carpet in a colorful mini dress that only she could pull off. And that glittery smoky eye was gorgeous!
7th Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo event
You had to see Lupita at the 7th Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo event. She looked as cute as a button in that black sunhat and Alexander McQueen sun dress. But what really did it for me was the dreamy blue eyeshadow.
2014 Met gala
There was a lot of opinons regarding the 20s-inspired Prada dress Lupita wore at the 2014 Met Gala. I don't care what anyone says, though, I loved the look, loved the headband, loved the makeup–loved it all!
2014 CFDA Fashion Awards
I'm telling you no one knows how to make blue eye makeup look as good as Lupita. She had a shimmery bronze shadow applied at the crease and the a bright azul right on top, closer to her brow bone. Did you notice her hair is straight? So stunning!
