Lupita Nyong’o is the January 2016 cover for Elle UK! The shoot was curated by Kai Z Feng one of the hottest high fashion photographers of the moment. He’s worked with brands such as Burberry, Hugo Boss, L’oreal & Shanghai Tang.

We’ve been wondering what Lupita was up to these days so it’s great to see her at the forefront. She plays Maz Kanata in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. We don’t know how big or small the role is yet but we will definitely be watching.

Star Wars will be released on the 18th Dec.
