She lost out on not just one but two
awards after American Hustle’s Jennifer Lawrence received the Best
Supporting Actress award and Will Poulter took home the hotly-contested
Rising Star Award.
But
that wasn’t going to stop Lupita Nyong'o from enjoying herself and
rather than lamenting her lack of BAFTA she posed up in the selfie booth
with her handbag.
The
30-year-old, who was up for her break-out role in 12 Years A Slave, made
the most of the event as did a whole host of other stars who couldn't
resist getting a snap or two of themselves.
Not such a bag lady: Lupita Nyong'o looked gorgeous as she posed in the selfie booth at the BAFTAs
Showing what a good
sport she is Lupita looked radiant as she stopped by the booth, raising
her small black bag beneath her chin in an amusing pose.
Following the ceremony
she headed to the 12 Years A Slave party at the London Edition Hotel,
alongside the rest of the cast and crew, who had enjoyed a hugely
successful evening.
While
Lupita looked positively ravishing thanks to her impressive emerald
green silk fishtail-hem gown by Christian Dior, it wasn’t without its
problems.
Winners: Cate Blanchett and Will Poulter pulled rather different faces as they posed with their awards
Funny face: Dermot O'Leary looked at Fearne Cotton as she pulled a peace sign

Quite the push: Lupita struggled fitting her dress in her car as she left the after party
Helping a hand: A gentleman was seen helping the actress put her long train in the car
As she left the party
she struggled to get all of her long train in the taxi and she was seen
carefully trying to stuff all the fabric in.
Earlier
in the evening she had been joined by her mother Dorothy, who was there
to support her when she unfortunately missed out on any awards.
Meanwhile
Lupita of course wasn’t the only star to stop by the selfie booth at
the event and it saw a whole range of famous faces throughout the course
of the evening.

Lily Allen paid a visit and despite her mother Allison Owen missing out
on a producing award for the film Saving Mr Banks, she too looked
happy, sticking out her tongue slightly as she posed.
Those who did win awards made sure they stopped by, including Rising Star Will Poulter, Barkhad Abdi and Cate Blanchett.

by Dermot O’Leary who looked at her while she pulled a funny face and
flashed the peace sign.

her other half Richard Fleeshman – who she made her red carpet debut
with earlier in the evening.
