Might even name my firstborn Lupita

If you don't know who Lupita Nyong'o is...STOP, Google, fall in love, come back and finish reading this post. Normally when celebrities do their first red carpet season, it's a bit of a trial and error. I can never really understand that, if you're in an Oscar nominated film I'm sure you can find a stylist and a desperate designer and put something on that doesn't look like a complete failure. Alas, there is a worst dress list and Joan Rivers for a reason.

Well flashback to Golden Globes 2014 a couple months ago and out walked that Ralph Lauren cape red masterpiece showing off the beautifully sculpted shoulders of the one and only Lupita. Everyone stopped cause in that moment she went from a question mark to the top of the best dressed list of the evening. Teal Gucci at SAG, green Dior at BAFTA, two piece cream Giambattista Valli at the ESSENCE Luncheon, and of course last night's pale blue Prada pleated dream. I'm wearing a headband everyday this week (or at least tomorrow).

Besides flawless skin, an edgy hairstyle, and biceps to put FLOTUS to shame what makes this beautiful canvas a knockout is her understanding of her body. She has such a strong upper body and the perfect chest for those deep V cuts and strapless gowns, and everything she wears shows them off. It's not about wearing that "it" style whether it's formal or casual, it's about knowing what your assets are and working them. Assets is not meant to be misinterpreted, it's about highlighting while looking classy at the same time. Also she's not afraid of color. I'm a bit too obsessed with neutrals right now and often hiding behind black is just easy, but she's worn every color of the rainbow and made me fall in love with colors again.

My respect for this all-star grew even more when I recently read an article where she discussed her prior experience with fashion being minimal. When she realized all the publicity 12 Years a Slave would involve she began to do research on designers and understanding their style and how it's applied during the red carpet season. Celebrities are given the perks of someone dressing them and giving them the most beautiful and expensive pieces in the world, but when a celebrity takes charge and control over their clothes it really shows.

Lupita makes me excited about fashion, and it's a feeling I haven't associated with the red carpet season in awhile. Keep your eye on her, and go buy yourself a headband.
