Lupita Nyong’o sat down with Jimmy Fallon and talked about starting her day with a cold plunge, the inspiration behind her podcast Mind Your Own and seeing Taylor Swift and Beyoncé in concert after injuring her vocal chords while voice acting in The Wild Robot. She was also here in Atlanta, at the Ferns Museum to promote the film, but I was tied up with something else and couldn’t attend but I saw that it was a great event.
The sequins fringe dress was super sharp and I really loved the colors! I would wear that dress to a cabaret, roaring 20’s party, vintage event or out dancing.
Lupita has been known for her stunning fashion choices and has frequently wowed onlookers with her style. Here are some of her most memorable fashion looks:
- 2014 Oscars in Prada: Lupita’s custom pale blue Prada gown at the 2014 Oscars was a showstopper. The dress, which featured a plunging neckline and a flowing skirt, was complemented by a diamond headband and her natural makeup. It was a perfect blend of elegance and modernity.
- 2015 Cannes Film Festival in Gucci: For the premiere of Mad Max: Fury Road at Cannes, Lupita wore a striking black Gucci gown with an elaborate feathered skirt and a corseted top. The gown’s boldness was matched by her confident demeanor.
- 2018 Met Gala in Versace: Lupita attended the 2018 Met Gala in a stunning Versace gown that featured intricate beading and a flowing cape. The theme of the Met Gala was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” and Lupita’s outfit paid homage to the celestial theme.
