Glamspiration: Lupita Nyong’o’s “12 Years a Slave” Premiere Style

Glamazons,

I have a style crush and it’s on Lupita Nyong’o. The stunning Kenyan actress appeared in “12 Years a Slave” as Patsey. To promote the film, she stepped out at premieres across the globe looking impeccable.

Her style is bold and elegant. She prefers streamlined silhouettes like shift dresses and languid, floor-sweeping gowns.

They should teach a class on what she does with color! She lets vivid yellows, oranges, blues and pinks shine against her flawless ebony skin.

And when she dons white gowns or long-sleeved printed dresses, she looks simply breathtaking.

She never reaches for overstated accessories, but I love what she does with pumps in subtle prints like leopard and polka dots:
