All eyes were on the Academy Award-winning actress, who lit up the event in an ethereal floor-length lavender number and matching headscarf. The 12 Years a Slave star, who first captivated the fashion world with a Cinderella-inspired powder blue Prada gown featuring a plunging neckline at the 2014 Oscars, channeled the same dreamy aesthetic with her winning Tuesday evening attire. Nyong'o's lilac Elie Saab gown featured a pleated skirt, a few side slits, and a deep plunging neckline, which was adorned with rainbow-colored straps that crisscrossed in the back and cinched in the actress's tiny waist. The 33-year-old accessorized her look with a matching lavender headscarf, delicate drop earrings and strappy black heels, before topping it all off with a lavender-hued eyeshadow and a swipe of fuchsia lipstick. Lupita Nyong'o Stuns in a Bold and Beautiful Look at TIFF Queen of Katwe is set to hit theaters nationwide on Sept. 30.
