Lupita Nyong'o hasn't been on the award circuit [1] long, but she has quickly learned a few key tricks of the trade — not least of which is having a good party dress to change into after the ceremony ends and the real fun begins. But when your Oscars dress was as good as hers [2], where do you even begin?
Fittingly, she swapped her Academy Award-winning look, a lovely pastel Prada number, for a similar but more dance-floor-friendly variation. And what's more perfect for getting down than beaded fringe? The actress stuck to her nostalgic Nairobi-inspired palette but mixed things up with a slimmer silhouette. Best of all: this less-full skirt gave her matching satin heels a cameo. We love Lupita just the way she is, but are you happy that she went changing?
