Lupita Nyong’o rocks sheer black gown as she joins starry guest list at Chanel pre-Oscars bash

Lupita Nyong’o cut a stylish figure when she joined the starry guest-list at the Chanel and Charles Finch pre-Oscars dinner on Saturday.

Held at the famous Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills H๏τel, the glittering event drew a parade of top names including Kim Kardashian, Demi Moore and Elle Fanning.

Among the celebrities was Lupita, 42, who won her own Oscar in 2013 for her supporting performance in the drama 12 Years A Slave.

During her latest public appearance, she draped herself in a trendily sheer black gown that fell to the floor and hinted at her lithe frame.

Her frock featured period touches, including the ʙuттons leading up to its collar, as well as the puffed out sleeves that culminated in long cinched-in cuffs.

Gathering her hair into an updo, the Black Panther actress highlighted her luminous complexion with makeup including deep pink lipstick.

Below the waist, her dress was adorned with sparkly fringe, heightening the air of showbiz glitz that characterized the look.

Whilst at the fete, she could be seen mingling with her friend Nana Mensah, an actress and filmmaker who has been in such projects as 13 Reasons Why.

A cavalcade of stars paraded into the party at the Polo Lounge that evening, including such names as Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis’ daughter Lily-Rose Depp.

Elle posed with her sister Dakota, whilst Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough also made her presence felt along with Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez. 

Oscar nominees Sebastian Stan and Adrien Brody, Netflix heartthrob Rege-Jean Page and beloved character actor Jeff Goldblum were also on hand.

This past year, Lupita starred in in the horror film A Quiet Place: Day One and also had a leading voice role in the DreamWorks CGI animated film The Wild Robot.

She is not in the running for Oscars glory on Sunday, but the category that got her the gold in 2013 – best supporting actress – is one to watch this year.

Ariana Grande is nominated for her performance as Glinda in Wicked, as is Monica Barbaro for playing Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown.
