*Lupita Nyong’o dropped the mic on yet another red carpet with her undeniable style.
She showed up at the Cannes Film Festival’s Opening Ceremony Wednesday in a “grasshopper green” gown, which doubled as a sentimental tribute to Africa.
Nyong’o selected a custom pleated Gucci chiffon design featuring a mini capelet and embellished hand-painted floral crystals along the plunging neckline and at the waist.
She topped off the look with diamond drop Chopard earrings and a coordinating double-strand head band.
“It’s #GrasshopperGreen for @festivaldecannes opening night,” she shared of her ensemble on Instagram. “Thank you @Chopard @Gucci and Uganda’s women for the hair inspiration. #NseneneSeason #cannes2015.”
Note: Nsenene (in the above hashtag) is the Luganda name for grasshopper. The insects are a cultural delicacy in Uganda and are in season right now.
All you can say is “She’s gorgeous!”
She is beautiful. Classy. Regal. And we have no idea what she is or isn’t wearing under her clothes, which is exactly as it should be. I love this.
