Lupita Nyong'o oozes grace, charm and elegance. She rocked a bold hair style to the Met Gala this year that celebrated her culture as a Kenyan woman, and she left none of those characteristics out when she unapologetically but subtly corrected a Vogue article written by Laird Borrelli-Persson, that suggested that her 2016 Met Gala hairstyle was inspired by Audrey Hepburn.

*Rolls eyes*

Here's a conversation that Lupita had with fashion expert and former Vogue editor-at-large, Andre Leon Talley:

Both Andre and Lupita name Nina Simone and "sculptural hairstyles from around the continent" as her inspiration. Borrelli-Persson, however, decided to side-step Lupita and the inspirations she mentions and begins slapping away at her keyboard and pouring out her own rhetoric. She simply didn't care to listen or respond to what Lupita had to say. The focus was, without thought or care, switched to a white woman who had nothing to do with the hairstyle, as if the author could only appreciate Nyong'o's beauty through the lens of white beauty standards. The focus should have been about Lupita's connections to the late great Nina Simone who is actually mentioned by Lupita... you know, the person wearing the hair...

Desperately trying to force a link to Vogue by talking about a photo of Audrey Hepburn that Vogue shot, the author missed the mark entirely. She mentioned Nina Simone in passing as though she were an afterthought and wrote that Lupita's look "has already been described tonight as 'Whosville' hair, and inspired a 'Marge Simpson meme.'" Despite her callously offensive attempts to be hip, funny and happenin', this Vouge editor was quickly put in her place by the Lady Queen Nyong'o herself via Instagram. Nyong'o reminded Vogue that white people do not own beauty and not everything points back to them. She made sure to showcase the beautiful and unique hairstyles adorned by black and African women: The women she was actually honoring.

What Borrelli-Persson should have written about was how Vernon Francois, Lupita's hairstylist, said: "We aimed to showcase the classic, towering structures which have existed throughout traditional African culture." She should have written about how Lupita, Nina Simone and many other black celebrities chose to highlight the versatility and strength of their natural hair textures. The author should have highlighted the African inspirations that Lupita and Francois drew their creation from.

Take notes, Laird Borrelli-Persson. Take notes.
