Lupita Nyong’o does it again!

The flawless actress stepped out in a floral Elie Saab embellished gown for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 8th annual Governors Awards and killed it.

The sheer and embellished frock was paired with strappy silver sandals and minimal jewelry.

Lupin hit the nail on the head as always in a look that gave us major tea party chic vibes!

Nyong’o took to Instagram to share special moments from the night with fans. Posing for snapshots with Jangle Monae (who looked amazing as well), David Oleywo, Ava DuVernay and more!
