Lupita Nyong’o Rocks Metallic For ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Premiere Fan Event

Lupita Nyong’o showed up at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere fan event in Mexico City, Mexico, Tuesday in a metallic number.

Lupita Nyong’o’s Latest Look

Nyong’o walked the carpet at the Mexico City premiere in a shiny silver sleeveless dress from Louis Vuitton. The ribbed frock featured a high-slit and a black accent belt. Nyong’o completed her look with a pair of black sandals.


Nyongo’o captioned a picture from the day, “My first @starwars fan event,” adding in Spanish, “México, ¡Gracias a todos para venir y disfrutar con nosotros! #TheForceAwakens #internationalflex.”

Nyong’o also shared a picture with her costar Oscar Isaac, captioning it “La Fuerza Despertada. Oscar Isaac.”

In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Nyong’o plays Maz Kanata, a small alien creature. Talking about casting Nyong’o in the part, director J.J. Abrams revealed it was difficult for him to develop the character’s look.

“You cast someone as beautiful as Lupita, and you have her a motion-capture character?” Abrams said at a recent press conference. “I’m like, ‘Would it be okay if she were ugly?”

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters Dec. 18.
