Lupita Nyongo’s hair style for the MET Gala seems  to have caused quite the stir. After Vogue compared her hair style to a style worn by Audrey Hepburn, Lupita make sure to go on social media to clarify that her inspiration for the hairstyle was not Hepburn but African women who have traditionally worn similar styles.

See the video below from Spice TV Africa reporting on story; and below that Lupita’s interview on the Met Gala Red Carpet discussing the sources of inspiration for her look:

What do you make of the uproar? Was Vogue wrong in referencing Hepburn in relation to Lupita’s hairstyle? Was Lupita’s response warranted? We’d love to hear from you.
