It was the Paris premier of 12 Years a Slave earlier this week. Before Kenyan actress and newest style star, Lupita Nyong'o knew that she had been nominated for both a SAG and a Golden Globe award for her role in the film. But she was back to her best in style anyway, hopefully leading up to an exceptional red carpet feast during the awards season.

The red embellished dress was Elie Saab Resort 2014. The sequin arranged in an artful pattern that gave the dress depth and dimension. The colour festive and absolutely brilliant on her skin. The skin flawless as usual. Amazing. Love her. Fingers crossed for a successful season.
