The mistake took place in the magazine’s global best-dressed feature, which listed several celebs along with their city of residence. Ny naming and named her “The Marvel: Lupita Nyong’o (Wakanda)”.
While the actress will play a character from the city of Wakanda in the upcoming movie Black Panther, the city is fictional and not any real person’s residence, a fact which several Twitter users were eager to point out:
