After conquering the newsstands in the United States, Lupita Nyong’o went overseas to flaunt her visage for the July 2014 issue of Elle France.

The Oscar-winning actress stunned in a canary yellow, an asymmetric Giambattista Vallie Haute Couture gown, serving up some Marilyn Monroe tease by showing off a little leg and her million dollar smile for the camera. The spread deems Nyong’o a “superstar,” as she opens up about the remarkable year behind her breakthrough success.

The Kenyan beauty also graced Vogue’s July cover, and was recently named an ambassador for luxury brand Lancome. She is currently filming for her upcoming role in Star Wars Episode VII, and has also agreed to lend her vocal talents to The Jungle Book, starring alongside Scarlett Johansson and Idris Elba.
