For her interview, Lupita will dish on things like the decision to cut all her hair off. See a snippet and photos from the shoot below:

“I didn’t always wear my hair short. In my adolescence I always had long hair and it was relaxed. After the age of 19 I just got really feed up with going to the salon and it taking so much effort to look presentable before you leave the house. So one day I decided to cut it off and my mother was unamused. But she came around.”
