One of the Met Gala’s most directional dressers, Lupita Nyong’o , might have missed out on the red carpet fun earlier this week, but tonight in Cannes, she made her mark. Nyong’o is a veteran of the festival, most notably donning a grasshopper-green accordion pleat dress by Gucci in 2015 . This time around, the actress stepped out in Dior Haute Couture’s white woven-horsehair-and-organza cage dress for an angelic effect.
Nyong’o donned the heavenly piece for the premiere of Sorry Angel , making for a coincidentally ecclesiastical moment the week of the Catholicism-themed Met Gala . The high neckline was an elegant foil to the sleeveless silhouette, while the ivory organza leaf-trimmed skirt offered a modern and minimal take on embellishment. Simple diamond jewelry—drop earrings and two rings—finished the look with a quiet sparkle.
