Lupita Nyong'o is the ultimate girl-of-the-moment. All eyes were on her red carpet wardrobe as she swept the awards season, and her fabulous fashion reign continues. Check out her style evolution...

Lupita Nyong'o may have only come on our radar after her Oscar-winning turn in 12 Years A Slave, but the gorgeous Mexican-Kenyan actress has more than established herself as one of Hollywood's hottest young stars.

Growing up in Kenya and Mexico, the former Production Assistant followed her dreams to act, landing her breakthrough role in 12 Years A Slave straight after drama school. Gracing awards season with her multi-coloured designer gowns, bright and breezy make-up and enviable fit bod, the 32-year-old actress landed on many a best dressed list and straight into our hearts.

Her revolving wardrobe of high fashion awards ensembles (from Ralph Lauren's caped Golden Globes dress to her fairytale Prada Oscars gown) and well-chosen red carpet shorts suits and minis made her one of Hollywood's elite. After being named People's Magazine's Most Beautiful in 2014, she even went on to land a campaign with L'Oreal, becoming the first African celebrity to become the face of the luxury French beauty brand.

Lupita's fashion credentials just keep climbing and we can't wait to see which designer label she's wowing in next.
