Lupita Nyong’o is gorgeous in striking monochrome harlequin dress at NYC’s Tribeca Festival

She hasn’t walked a red carpet since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But on Tuesday night, Lupita Nyong’o put her best fashion foot forward as she attended a screening at the Tribeca Festival in New York City.

The actress, 38, looked gorgeous in a striking full-length monochrome harlequin dress.

Nyong’o wore a black hat and added a splash of color with red hoop earrings.

She was made up with just a touch of dark gray shimmer shadow on her eye lids and glossy red lip color. 

The 12 Years A Slave Oscar winner came out to the screening to support the film Queen of Glory by Ghanaian-American actor, writer and director Nana Mensah.

The independent comedy marks Mensah’s feature debut.

It tells the story of PhD student Sarah whose planned future is thrown into disarray by the unexpected death of her mother and the news she’s inherited her Christian bookstore.

The Tribeca Festival kicked off last week as New York reopened following the coronavirus crisis.

Meanwhile, Nyong’o is preparing to reprise her role as Nakia in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

In April, she shared that she is still struggling to come to terms with the loss of her co-star Chadwick Boseman who died last August from colon cancer at 43. 

‘It’s still so hard for me to come to terms with his passing,’ the actress said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

‘He was my friend and so it’s hard to think of him in the past tense still,’ Nyong’o shared.
