People Magazine names Lupita Nyong’o the ‘Most Beautiful Person of 2014’ and we couldn’t agree more, she’s stunning! We’ve officially dubbed her as one of our style icons at The Trend Boutique ☺ Her take on beauty proves that she’s definitely worthy of the honor:
“My mother used to say to me, ‘You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you.’ And these words played and bothered me, I didn’t really understand them until finally I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume. It was something that I just had to be. And what my mother meant by saying that you can’t eat beauty is that you can’t rely on beauty to sustain you. What actually sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful is compassion for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul.”
