Lupita Nyong’o graced the 2024 Oscars red carpet in a stunning Armani Privé gown that paid homage to a memorable look from her past.
Accompanied by her “A Quiet Place: Day One” costar Joseph Quinn, the 41-year-old actress dazzled in a custom-made periwinkle gown adorned with feathers, jewels, and a plunging neckline, complemented by De Beers jewels.
What made Nyong’o’s ensemble truly special was its sentimental significance. According to E! correspondent Zanna Roberts Rassi, the icy blue gown was reminiscent of the fairytale Prada dress she wore to the 2014 Oscars, where she won the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “12 Years a Slave.”
Reflecting on the original gown worn a decade ago, Nyong’o’s stylist, Micaela, shared heartfelt sentiments on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the transformative opportunity to dress the actress.
Nyong’o’s bold fashion choices are nothing new. Last year, she made waves at the 2023 Tony Awards in a custom-made breastplate by Pakistani artist and fashion designer Misha Japanwala. Additionally, she stunned at Paris Fashion Week in a head-to-toe pastel Chanel ensemble, showcasing her versatile style.
Nyong’o’s appearance at the Oscars follows a recent trip to Mexico with her boyfriend, Joshua Jackson, where they celebrated her 41st birthday. The couple, first romantically linked in October 2023, enjoyed a picturesque getaway in Puerto Vallarta.
As Nyong’o continues to captivate audiences both on and off the screen, her fashion choices serve as a testament to her enduring elegance and creativity.
