The actress also dished on how great it feels to be on the magazine cover for this particular category.
"It was exciting and just a major, major compliment," she said. "I was happy for all the girls who would see me on [it] and feel a little more seen."
Nyong'o also admitted that her best compliments are "when I have been called beautiful with not one drop of makeup on," she said. "And also before I comb my hair or put on a pretty dress. Happiness is the most important thing."
