Lupita’s style on a budget

It’s been about a month since she made her last standout red carpet appearance at the Academy Awards, but I am still thinking about the amazing style of Miss Lupita Nyong’o.

She has been such a fashion force over the last several months, thanks in part of course to her nationally recognized stylist. But just because you don’t have access to a stylist of your own, it doesn’t mean that you can’t rock looks like hers.

I’ve noticed there is one constant to her signature look: no matter what she wears, the color is always BOLD. What’s amazing is that she looks just as amazing when she’s wearing black or white, too. For you, my loves, I’ve taken a look at every single color of the rainbow she’s worn, and found budget-friendly versions that will totally give you that Lupita look.
