Isn’t it totally cheesy to say we’re gaga for Gugu? But we are!
Gugu Mbatha-Raw is one of our favorite up-and-comers who continues to steadily climb that ladder to stardom, and we love that we get to watch her do it!

The actress has two critically acclaimed films — Belle and Beyond The Lights — under her belt, and you can currently catch her in Jupiter Ascending with Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum.
You can also catch her in the March issue of Town & Country magazine!
The 31-year-old is obviously stunning, so it should only be a matter of time before she covers every other magazine under the Hearst umbrella.
We’re looking at you, Harper’s Bazaar!
Although Gugu prefers comfort over style on a regular basis, she admits she loves dressing up! She said:
“In my daily life it’s about being comfortable. I wear a lot of black. But now, to promote these films, I’ve been working with a stylist. I’ve had some fun Cinderella moments in red carpet land. I love the Audrey Hepburns of this world, and I think Cate Blanchett is stunning and always nails it.”
And we love her for always bringing her A-game to the red carpet!
Despite the glamour that surrounds, however, the actress is comfortable in her own skin:
“It’s important to know that it’s okay to be your natural self. It’s also okay to dress up and wear makeup and hair extensions if you want, so long as you don’t feel like you need that or will be worthless without it. The point is, it should be a choice.”
Agreed!
