Lupita Nyong’o returned to the Oscars, a decade after winning her first Academy Award, with a nod to her 2014 Prada outfit. This time it’s a dreamy custom Giorgio Armani Privé dress with a plunging V neckline for Lupita, just like her icy blue 2014 dress paid homage to her homeland Nairobi.

Just 1-minute to make sure she looks good

Although Nyong’o was not up for a nomination at the 96th Oscars, she was among an A-list group of presenters. 10 years after winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2014, for her performance in 12 Years a Slave, she presents Da’Vine Joy Randolph hers.

Her decade-long stylist, Michaela Erlanger told ELLE USA:

This was a look that we actually had been holding on to for a very special moment… We had to find the right moment and this felt so serendipitous.

Even models have attested that posing for the cameras can be tiring. But here’s Lupita having a blast at it. In the Instagram reel below, she is seen having the time of her life, loving being a woman, expressive, young and free. One of the many reasons why we LOVE Lupita!
