Lupita Nyong'o Dazzles in emerald at the BAFTA Awards

 

The 12 Years A Slave actress Lupita Nyong'o undeniably brought some welcome glitz and glamour to an otherwise rather muted red carpet. 

The positively radiant Nyong'o dazzled in a striking emerald green silk fishtail-hem gown as she led the charge of glittering A-list attendees at the 2014 BAFTAs at London's Royal Opera House on Sunday night

Looking utterly radiant as she smouldered in front of the camera, the talented 12 Years A Slave star's simple, yet elegant, strapless frock featured a gold band around the middle to accentuate her slim waist, accessorized with coordinating cuffs.

Lupita ensured her mother Dorothy was by her side for her big red carpet moment. A proud mom she must be!
