When it comes to fashionistas, look no further than Lupita Nyong’o. Over the last year, the actress has worn some of the best looks, including her all red pants and peplum top look for the New York Fashion Week showcase of looks inspired by Black Panther.

The actress was stunning in the bold color. She has proven on multiple occasions that the wide leg pant is still in style, and it reminds us that you can make any piece work, if you know how to pair it. Not only does Nyong’o look pulled together and elegant in this outfit, but we can easily see this being ready for work or perfect for brunch with the ladies. And even if you don’t want an entirely solid look, that’s okay too as these pieces are easy to mix and match with.

You could easily pair a peplum top like this with jeans or black slacks. Alternatively, take the wide leg red trousers and pair it with a black sweater or a white button down blouse. However you pair these pieces, you know you are making these looks your own.

Considering we love how Nyong’o makes a statement with her outfit choices, we couldn’t resist doing the same thing with our choice of peplum tops. Thanks to Amazon, we found the Valphisio Women’s Ruffle Party Blouse. Not only does it have a peplum accent, but there is so much more to this top that it makes a statement no matter what you pair it with. The fact that it costs $18.99 and comes in multiple colors is a bonus; you could add more than one of these tops to your wardrobe.

For the pants, we found a stunning pair in red from ASOS that comes in at $18 and gives us the same bold look that the actress wore. While they may be slightly less form-fitting as what Nyong’o wore, we think you will love this pair. These Ivyrevel Wide Leg Jersey pants are a must-have steal.
