Just face it! Lupita Nyong'o grins as she unveils a flattering caricature of herself



Lupita Nyong'o has joined the likes of Lucille Ball and Tom Hanks, becoming the latest celebrity to unveil her caricature at the iconic Sardi's restaurant in New York City.
The restaurant has been the home to countless celebrity caricatures for decades, so no doubt Lupita was thrilled to join the ranks.
The 33-year-old's caricature was unveiled in full at the eatery on Thursday, and Lupita certainly seemed to approve of the one-of-a-kind drawing.

The portrait appeared to be modelled after Lupita's outfit from the 2014 Academy Awards, as the artwork featured the exact same headband and earrings.   
Holding the artwork at arms length, Lupita flashed a wide and nearly giddy grin as she admired the drawing.


The actress also presented the portrait for photographers, smiling once more as she stood tall in her baby blue heels paired with sheer leggings and a floral print dress. 
Before heading out, Lupita made sure to scrawl her autograph upon the portrait - after all, signature by the subject is required to join the wall.
