In case you didn’t know, Lupita Nyong’o<\/a><\/strong> and Rihanna<\/a><\/strong> are collaborating on a top secret project. Naturally, many are eager to hear all about it.<\/p>\n

Speaking to E! News, the Us<\/em> actress lightly talks about the highly-anticipated collab with the Fenty Beauty founder. While the 36-year-old star doesn’t reveal much in the interview, especially when she’s asked point-blank what details she can share about the project, it’s enough to fill fans up with excitement.<\/p>\n

“I can tell you absolutely nothing about that,” she says with a playful smirk.<\/p>\n

Lupita most certainly acts coy with her answer, however, the bright side to all of this is that their project is really happening.<\/p>\n

As a little refresher, the two superstars signed on to work on a heist movie<\/a>, which is the only clue fans have about their collab. And as nuts as it sounds, Twitter, of all places, is the reason they’re joining forces.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Fans quickly noticed how fierce and fabulous the 31-year-old beauty mogul and Us<\/em> actress looked at the 2014 Miu Miu fashion show<\/a>, which quickly became viral on Tumblr<\/a>. In 2017, the charming photo resurfaced online and Twitter user Sixsxsix<\/a> said what we were all thinking.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Rihanna looks like she scams rich white men and lupita is the computer smart best friend that helps plan the scans.”<\/p>\n

Of course, Twitter went into a frenzy over the idea. In fact, the tweet went so viral that it caught the attention of Lupita and<\/em> Rihanna.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old actress wrote<\/a>, “I’m down if you are @rihanna.” To which RiRi responded<\/a>, “I’m Pit’z.”<\/p>\n

To fans’ delight, the heist movie was announced in May 2017, starring the female powerhouses. <\/p>\n

Entertainment Weekly<\/em> reported<\/a> Netflix inked a deal for the concept at the Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n

Even better? Ava DuVernay<\/a><\/strong> is directing the film and Issa Rae<\/a><\/strong> is writing the script.<\/p>\n

While Rihanna is ruling the beauty and fashion world with her Savage x Fenty and Fenty Beauty lines, Lupita is dominating the big screen. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The 36-year-old actress stars in Jordan Peele<\/a><\/strong>‘s psychological thriller, Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“It was a dream of mine to work with [Peele] and I didn’t expect it to come true so soon,” Nyong’o says of working with the Get Out<\/em> director. “When I started [working with him], I had to deal with the fact that I revered him and reverence kills creativity. So I had to get over that real quick.”<\/p>\n

Adding, “I learned very quickly that Jordan is a team player, he’s intelligent and his intelligence doesn’t come from an egotistical place… He’s interested in making the best work possible.”<\/p>\n

“I loved working with him,” she says with a smile.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
