Lupita Nyong’o Wears a Metallic Blue Lip to the Star Wars London Premiere

Though rebel pilots, Stormtroopers, and droids all rolled down the red carpet at tonight’s London premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it was actress Lupita Nyong’o who smartly channeled the sci-fi spirit with a bold slick of metallic blue lipstick. Keeping her skin quite bare and glowing, the unconventional color lent Nyong’o’s look a futuristic edge that played tribute to Maz Kanata, the alien space pirate she portrays in the film, while her sculptural hi-top fade haircut, wrapped in black net, helped push the outré shade into new territory. Consider it further proof that an out-of-the-box lip is the simplest way to make a high-impact statement, whether you’re on the red carpet in London; in a galaxy far, far away; or anywhere in between.
