Lupita Nyong’o made a bold fashion statement at the 2023 LACMA Art+Film Gala, presented by Gucci at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The Black Panther actress, known for her sense of style, donned a daring fishnet sheer gown that showcased her confidence and fashion-forward taste.
Arriving at the event, Lupita turned heads in a plunging semi-sheer burgundy gown. The delicate fishnet material added a touch of allure, while the plunging neckline added a hint of sensuality. With a matching pair of heels, Lupita exuded elegance and sophistication at every step.

Eva Chow, LACMA trustee, and actor Leonardo DiCaprio co-chaired the event for the twelfth consecutive year. The gala not only serves as a platform to celebrate art and film but also as a means to raise funds for LACMA’s initiatives. Proceeds from the annual Art+Film Gala go towards underwriting LACMA’s effort to make the film more central to the museum’s curatorial programming, while also supporting its broader mission.
This event comes weeks after Lupita Nyong’o announced her split from Selema Masekela. In a heartfelt Instagram post last month, Lupita shared the news, expressing her thoughts and sympathy for the struggles faced by many around the world. While her personal life may have seen changes, she added that she chose to face her pain.
“There are much more important things going on in the world right now, and my thoughts are with those who are deeply suffering,” the actress wrote on Instagram. “At this moment, it is necessary for me to share a personal truth and publicly dissociate myself from someone I can no longer trust…!
She continued: “I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception. But I am reminded that the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love. And so, I am choosing to face the pain, cultivating the courage to meet my life exactly as it is, and trusting that this too shall pass.”
