Lupita Nyong’o appearance at Disney’s D23 Expo was as big a thrill for me as it was to watch Marvel’s Captain America Chris Evans and Moana’s Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hit the stage announcing their respective upcoming movies. Of course as the fashion icon that Lupita Nyong’o has become, much has been mentioned by all the fashion and celebrity sites about her longer, curlier hairstyle which admittedly is really cute and very flattering.

What what was lost in all the fashion and beauty hype is that Lupita Nyong’o is starring in three yes, three Disney movies, two of them are without doubt will be huge blockbusters and the third may not be a blockbuster but will be an inspirational movie that many will see (including me.)
So in my opinion, Ms. Lupita Nyong’o is the newest Disney Princess.
Check out the movies that she will be starring in over the coming year.
