Lupita Nyong’o’s Us Press Tour Looks Prove That Even the Macabre Can Be Chic
In Jordan Peele‘s Us, Lupita Nyong’o gives two chilling performances, one as former dancer Adelaide Wilson and the other as her doppelgänger, who shows up to terrify the Wilson family during a vacation in Santa Cruz. Diehard fanatics of the horror genre and those who hail the film’s director as a modern-day genius have already found Us to be as disturbing as it is groundbreaking, with many citing Nyong’o’s performance as a highlight. As for the actress’s style on the film’s press tour, her looks have run the gamut from creepy (those blood-red and gold colored contacts were admittedly unsettling) to chic. But what all of those far-ranging looks from the actress boil down to is that everything looks good on Nyong’o, whether she’s trying to scare you or not. The ultimate anthology of all of Nyong’o’s Us press tour looks, here.
