How Lupita Nyong’o Made this $60 Betsey Johnson Dress Look Like High-end Fashion

The simple slip dress featured spaghetti straps and lace detailing. It flowed perfectly over Nyong’o’s curvy, statuesque body, giving her a classy yet sensual aura. The star elevated this look by not only being the poised, sophisticated lady she is but also by pairing it with glamorous accessories. Her leopard heels and designer handbag added a pop of luxury to her outfit, giving it a blend of high and low savviness.

The multihyphenate topped her sassy look off with flawless, glowing skin, a gold bracelet, diamond studs, and chic Caleum rimless sunglasses from Silhouette’s 25th anniversary Titan Minimal Art collection. She sported her fierce short hairdo with a side part.
