Style Diaries: How to dress like Lupita Nyong’o

From Star Wars to Black Panther to Us, Lupita Nyong’o is as much a hero as she is an inspiration, which is why we are all about her style and trying to find the perfect pieces for our wardrobe.

We all know that Lupita Nyong’o can be fierce and compelling, no matter what role she takes on, but when it comes to her sense of fashion, it further cements her iconic status. No matter what the actress wears, she makes it her own and gives us a fierce woman who we have no problem calling a fashionista in her own right.

What makes Nyong’o’s sense of style so perfect is the fact that we can easily see this being perfect for the work day or a special event. In fact, there has not been a single pantsuit she has worn that hasn’t been perfection. Each time, the look has a special touch that makes the suit that much better, from a feather at the shoulder to a black tuxedo stripe on the leg of a houndstooth print pantsuit.

Of course, pantsuits are not the only look that the actress makes her own, as we have also seen her rock some amazing dresses that we would totally wear for a Sunday brunch or a night on the town. Honestly, no matter what she wears, she makes the look her own in a way that is fierce and stunning, which is why we can’t help but be inspired by whatever she wears.

While we may not be able to snag the exact looks that the actress is wearing, that doesn’t mean we haven’t found some great looks we think are just as inspired as what Nyong’o is wearing. It is all about taking inspiration and making these looks our own, so have some fun with these suggestions.
