Lupita Nyong'o knows how to make a fashion statement!
Nyong'o traded in her usual gown for something equally as glam -- a metallic breastplate. Pairing the bold look with a black suit jacket and pants, the 40-year-old film star was able to forgo a shirt thanks to the beautifully crafted piece. What's more, it was actually molded from her own body, making it the perfect fit.The eye-catching piece was designed by Misha Japanwala.
"Honored, humbled, strengthened and energized to don this breastplate created by @MishaJapanwala, which she cast and molded of my body," Nyong'o captioned a carousel of photos that showed off her look."Misha Japanwala is a Pakistani artist and fashion designer, whose work is rooted in the rejection and deconstruction of external shame attached to one's body.
She continued, sharing a message from the designer herself,"[Japanwala], 'The word 'beghairat' has become an anchor in my practice; thousands of people have used it to describe me and the work I create, in an effort to insult and shame me into silence.
