Fans Attack Vanity Fair Magazine for Lightening Lupita Nyong’o’s Skin on its Cover
There’s no denying Lupita Nyong’o‘s Vanity Fair Magazine shoot is stunning.
But the magazine has come under fire by fans of the Hollywood starlet who claim that her normal dark caramel skin is far more lighter than it is.
The shoot was for the American publication’s March 2014 issue for its Vanities Section.
Read a few of the reactions!
No thanks, you’ve ruined her image with the white washing. Flash, photoshop, whatever. Leave it to yall. @VanityFair @ReignOfApril #Vanity
