Actress Lupita Nyong’o has accused Grazia magazine of photoshopping her hair after she appeared in a shoot for the front cover of the publication’s November edition.

The 34 year old Queen of Katwe star said she was “disappointed” that the fashion magazine changed her hairstyle to “fit their notion of what beautiful hair looks like”.

Lupita Nyong’o underwent an ingenious transformation at Comic-Con this week, disguising herself as a pink Power Ranger so effectively that nobody realised it was her.
