Lupita Nyong’o was the epitome of class in a chocolate midi dress as the actress made a stylish appearance at The Wild Robot photocall during San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain.
The Black Panther sensation, 41, showed off her very toned physique in the strappy number which displayed a faded white design on the sides and a gold flower print, as well as a side low-thigh split.
The 355 actress added chic white stiletto heels and accessorised with gold jewellery including small dainty earrings as well as rings.
Lupita turned heads making her way to the stage, as she arrived rocking a pair of pink cat-eye shades as well as a mustard mini handbag to tote her ensemble.
The Hollywood star exuded radiance, beaming cheerfully for the camera, while her locks were tied in a her trademark bun with a side parting.
She posed alongside Spanish actress Macarena Garcia, who made a fashion statement in a cream knit short-sleeve top from Dior, and wide-leg denim.
Lupita then joined fellow actors including Casa De Papel alum Alvaro Morte as well as director Chris Sanders.
The family/adventure movie, which is set to be released in the UK on October 18, follows the story of a robot named Roz, which was shipwrecked on a deserted island, and must learn to adapt to its new surroundings.
Building relationships with the native animals, Roz soon develops a parental bond with an orphaned gosling.
The feature film sees Heartstopper favourite Kit Connor as the leading star, joined by an A-list cast including Pedro Pascal, Billy Nighy, Mark Hamill, and Catherine O’Hara.
Earlier in August, Lupita treated her beloved cat Yoyo with a party to celebrate his third birthday, while also taking a swipe at Sen. J.D. Vance.
The A Quiet Place star shared a number of snaps with her adorable feline companion as they posed in front of a golden ‘Happy Birthday’ banner.
The actress — who overcame her lifelong fear of cats while filming A Quiet Place: Day One — also had a special blue birthday hat for the orange tabby cat, as well as a number of crinkle toys.
‘Go Yoyo! It’s yo birthday!’ Please join me in wishing him a very happy 3rd birthday!’ the Kenyan-Mexican beauty wrote in the caption.
Lupita then took a dig at former President Trump’s running mate with the hashtag ‘#ChildlessCatLady’, after he went viral for making the remark in a resurfaced interview from 2021.
The star sported a chic yellow dress in the snaps, as well as a floral crown atop her head.
She accessorized with gold earrings and flashed a bright smile while celebrating her furry friend.
Last month the Oscar winner paid tribute to Yoyo on National Kitten Day, sharing a sweet video montage of him.
‘It’s #NationalKittenDay which means it’s time to celebrate one of the sweetest loves of my life, Yoyo! Even though he’s not a kitten anymore, he will always be my baby boy! #YOYOYYO #CatMom,’ she wrote in the caption.
Lupita adopted her four-legged friend last year from Best Friends Adoption Center, but she wasn’t always a fan of cats.
In fact, she had to undergo a form of cat therapy before starring in the horror/sci-fi film A Quiet Place: Day One — released in June — where she had a feline co-star named Frodo.
‘They hired someone to bring cats to my home, and on the first day, they just released the cats in my presence. I stood on the other side of the room and asked questions about why they were doing what they were doing,’ she told CBS News.
‘I had been afraid of cats,’ Nyong’o told People. ‘I just hadn’t spent much time with them. This film forced me to learn about cats, and I had to look like I owned a cat, and look like I cared, and look like I loved the cat. In the process of playing that pretend, I actually fell in love with the cats, Nico and Schnitzel. They’re so sweet and cute.’
‘There’s something that melts your heart when they hold onto you. It was a bond that I had with them,’ she added.
The star said that when she returned to her ‘real life’ and was ‘going through a hard time, I just had a little voice saying, “Get a cat,” and I got a cat. I have not regretted it.’
‘I’m way less lonely with my cat, and he pried my heart open,’ she shared.
She went on to state that what she loved about cats is their independence.”
‘They take care of themselves… And they’re also very opinionated, and they just have their personality, and you have to take them or leave them. I love that about them. They remind me of me.’
