In Veronica Beard at
HPFA/InStyle Party
Lupita Nyong’o has truly perfected effortless elegance. I find jumpsuits terribly intimidating, but
seeing her rock this Veronica Beard number at the TIFF HFPA/ InStyle party has
me second-guessing everything. I love how the sexy contouring bodice is paired
with a playful polka dot pump. She looks youthful and sophisticated from head
to toe and I could not love this look more!

In Ralph Lauren at
the Golden Globes
No round up of Lupita’s best looks would be complete without
a nod to this stunning red caped number.
Capes are a risky move on the red carpet. Not since Gwyneth’s white Tom Ford at the
Oscars have we seen anyone pull off the look quite as well as Lupita. It was a look that signified her arrival to the
small group of Hollywood’s fashion envelope pushers and we couldn’t have been
more excited to see someone willing to take a red carpet gamble.

In Gucci at the
Screen Actors Guild Awards
Her
teal Gucci gown from the SAG awards stands out to me as perfection. Not only
did the bright color catch our attention against the various shades of navy and
red seen on the red carpet, but her makeup was bold to match. Her blue
eyeshadow perfectly complimented her brown eyes - a look not often seen in a
sea of smokey or neutral red carpet looks. Her lips were finished with a
pink-nude gloss, creating a look was subtle yet polished. With her ability to
take risks and experiment with her look, there’s no doubt that Lupita will
continue to frequent best-dressed lists in the near future.

In Calvin Klein at
the Critics Choice Awards
My girl crush on Lupito Nyong’o
started, much like everyone else’s -- the second I saw her red Ralph Lauren
caped gown at the Golden Globes. When she stepped out in a white custom-made
Calvin Klein gown just four days later at the Critics Choice Awards, she
solidified her place as my best-dressed star of the month (and possibly of
award season)! I love seeing looks with minimal jewelry that allow gowns to
speak for themselves. This bandeau design allows Lupita to skip the necklace
and bracelets and just wear simple earrings and a ring, the perfect way to
let her natural beauty carry the look!
