She's the stand out style star of this year's awards season, but despite her flawless-to-date fashion record, until recently Lupita Nyong'o wasn't fussed when it came to matters sartorial.
"Until all this, I hadn't been a student of the fashion industry as a formal industry," she told The Daily Beast . "I wasn't the girl who bought the fashion magazines. I'd always just worn what appeals to me."
So, when the lightning bolt of fame hit Lupita last year she began to educate herself. "When I knew I was going to be doing the press tour for 12 Years A Slave, I got to work and started researching what was happening in the formal world of fashion to try and articulate to myself what my style would be in it all," she said.

"It's been a great education - a great discovery - to find clothing artists who are doing things that I feel express something about myself. And there are so many."
So, what's she learnt? "I love colour and gravitate towards solid block colours. I like clean lines and a classic look, but I also like to have a sense of humour and wear things that put a smile on my face I like to wear things, I don't like things to wear me. I don't like fuss!"
She also looked to three fellow influential females for inspiration; Elizabeth Taylor, Iman, and Cate Blanchett.
Now a bonafide style maven, Nyong'o has already bagged herself a major campaign in the shape of Miu Miu and become a pro FROW-er, even managing to make Anna Wintour smile as she sat next to her at a recent Calvin Klein show.
