The Oscar winner does it again! Lupita's latest red-carpet look is bright, flirty and perfect for spring.

Lupita Nyong'o was meant to be sharing the spotlight with her fellow cover girls Kate Mara and Elle Fanning last night - but, instead, all eyes were on her.

All three ladies looked lovely at the Marie Claire US party - but because Kate and Elle both chose red silk dresses (and metallic copper accessories), Lupita easily stood out from the crowd.

Dressed in a white Giambattista Valli Couture dress, the Oscar winner rocked a retro 1950s vibe. The swinging shape and the floral print made the look perfect for spring - and her bright-pink lippy added an extra pop of colour.

Meanwhile, Elle went for a '90s feel with her slinky Versace slipdress. And Kate kept things sophisticated and chic in her tuxedo-style Christian Dior dress.

All three style stars have their own solo versions of the May cover of Marie Claire US - and all three are absolutely stunning.
