She won over the fashion pack during awards season with a number of stylish sartorial displays, not to mention taking home an Oscar. 
And Lupita Nyong'o proved at the Bally London flagship store opening on Wednesday evening that her sense of style hasn't deserted her months later. 
The 31-year-old actress was stunning in a pale pink skirt and matching shoes, orange top and burgundy coat as she chatted with 12 Years A Slave co-star Benedict Cumberbatch at the bash.

While she may have looked stunning, Lupita has previously opened up about the perils of navigating the daunting award show circuit and the fashion judgement that comes with it.
'Nothing can prepare you for awards season. The red carpet feels like a war zone, except you cannot fly or fight; you just have to stand there and take it,' she told US Vogue.
But that hasn't stopped her winning plaudits and even landing a lucrative endorsement deal by being named brand ambassador for Lancome. 
Thrilled: It was hard to tell who looked happier about the catch up, Benedict or Lupita, as they spotted each other

After winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave, Lupita was added to the cast of the upcoming Star Wars sequel.
