Lupita Nyong’o lit up the red carpet at the New York City premiere of A Quiet Place: Day One in a stunning black sequined jumpsuit. The actress, who stars in the highly anticipated prequel directed by Michael Sarnoski, exuded elegance and glamour as she posed for photos alongside her co-stars.

Nyong’o’s monochromatic look, featuring a form-fitting skirt and train, was a showstopper at the event. The contrast of her outfit with co-star Joseph Quinn’s cream-colored suit created a visually striking scene on the red carpet. With deep red lipstick and dangling diamond earrings adding the perfect finishing touches, the actress looked every inch like a star.

In a cover interview for the June 2024 issue of Glamour, Nyong’o expressed her love for dressing up for events like red carpets, despite her aversion to shopping. She said, “I love red carpets. You get to be Cinderella for a night. My life before the launch of my career did not involve a lot of ball gowns. Now I wear so many, and I love it.” Her enthusiasm for glamorous events is evident in her impeccable fashion choices on the red carpet.

Nyong’o also shared her excitement for being part of the A Quiet Place: Day One project, describing it as an “honored” opportunity. She praised director John Krasinski for creating an innovative and intense world that captivated her from the start. 

“I was very honored to get offered this role because I think it is a very innovative world that John Krasinski created. And it is a fun world. It’s a very specific world. It’s a tense world,” she told PEOPLE earlier in June. “Like the floor is lava. You commit to that context and you go for it. And you’re asking adults to do this.”

“Imagine a world where you have to stay quiet to survive,” she continued. “It’s exciting to me to be in that kind of hyper-imaginative world.”
