Lupita Nyong’o Shines in Wrapped Suit and Hidden Heels at ‘Ebony’ Power 100

Lupita Nyong’o was sharply suited for the Ebony Power 100 event in Los Angeles, where she was honored with the evening’s For the Culture Award alongside the cast of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

Arriving at Milk Studios in Los Angeles for the occasion, the Oscar-winning actress wore a white suit by Ashlyn. Hailing from the brand’s Spring 2023 collection, Nyong’o’s ensemble featured a sharply lapeled blazer twisted around a silky black wrapped bodice. A pair of wide-leg white trousers completed the Micaela Erlanger-styled set, which gained a glamorous hint from sparkling diamond post earrings and rings. Her outfit was finished with shimmering purple eyeshadow.

When it came to footwear, Nyong’o’s shoes were not visible. However, it’s likely Erlanger completed the star’s ensemble with a set of pointed-toe pumps or heeled sandals in a coordinating hue, as she’s worn on previous red carpets over the years.
