Larry Madowo Marvels At The Rise Of Lupita Nyong’o…Look At His Reaction
Lupita Ny’ongo has been in the news lately after she made headlines for donning a Kshs.14,000,000 dress that later got stolen and returned for been fake.
The America-based Kenyan actress is one of the most coveted and feted Kenyan actresses and her rise to fame has been underlined by her desire to give the best in the acting industry.
Lupita came into the international limelight after her starring role in the 12 Years A Slave which won heran Oscar award, effectively announcing his arrival in the acting world.
These got many wondering how and where Lupita acquired her prowess, with the latest being Larry Madowo who has penned an article marveling at the rise of the star.
Madowo remembers too well Lupita’s days as a Shuga actress, before she flew to the USA to try her luck. And indeed luck came her way as she wowed the audiences for her wonderful role in the aforementioned film.
Madowo is particularly surprised that Lupita wore a dress worth 14m shillings.
He says:
“Dreams are valid, indeed
Who wears a dress worth nearly Sh14 million? Lupita Nyong’o, apparently.
She wore it to the Oscars with all its pearls, and she made it look good. But a few days later, the Calvin Klein creation was reported stolen from the London West Hollywood Hotel.
All the police and the world had to wait was another day or two before the thief returned it. The pearls turned out to be fake, the thief allegedly told the hotel when he dropped it off nearby.
I watched all the news around it with amazement; Lupita had come from that gutsy actress in ‘Shuga’ to a boldface global name in one instant.
Amondi Nyaseme (daughter of Seme) has become the sort of person who wears a Sh14 million dress, smiles for the cameras and presents the first category at the Academy Awards.
All dreams are valid, indeed.”
