Lupita Nyong’o was the definition of demure as she stepped out at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
There, for the world premiere of her new movie “The Wild Robot,” the actor walked the red carpet on Sunday wearing a gorgeous custom ensemble by Del Core. The dress, a lime green, pleated sheer number styled by Micaela Erlanger, featured a cleavage-baring neckline and a sleeveless silhouette that perfectly showcased Nyong’o’s slender arms.

The actress teamed the flowy garment with a matching pair of block-heeled sandals and kept the rest of the accessories minimal while opting for silver stud earrings. With the help of celebrity hairstylist Vernon François, she wore her loc hair in a dramatic top bun with a complimentary makeup look and vibrant red lips by Nick Barose.
