Published on September 19, 2019, People Magazine's 2014 list of the most beautiful women in the world included Lupita Nyong'o. Recently, she shared a vintage photo of her mother on Facebook, sparking a wave of comments and admiration.

One Facebook user exclaimed, "Wow! I thought that was an older pic of Lupita, then I read the caption." Another user agreed, "DNA is strong right!"

Lupita's caption read, "Like mother (1983), like daughter (2015). #behindthescenes @luckymagazine @lancomeusa #OhToBeHalfTheWomanMyMumIs!"
